You guys have no clue how far ahead the doping game actually is with lab rats being bought off with new drugs that haven't hit the market, much less being tested for by the authorities. I'd like to remain a dreamer idealist, but a 62 closer lap, gimme a break...

The five minutes mile for the women now it is like nothing. I am shocked how much they improved in such short period of time. It is impressive to see so many women running so fast.

You shame yourself with an unresearched accusation. Find the video of the 2007 Boston Indoor Games WR Tirunesh Dibaba.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjRK7t4SrzE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Come on like, could it be any more obvious! Nothing for the last 2 years and then comes out and drops that bomb and hardly breathing heavy. Something not right there

is she in 29:30 shape?!??

Waah! Waaah! No white people are going to win any event anyone cares about because everyone else is too old, too young, too doped, too mean.

Just pick up the remote and put on the dancing horse event or rowing or shooting or something. That should make you feel better about yourself.

Interesting that a 62 400 is now considered aerobic.

lol are you trolling? A 62 400m IS aerobic for someone who can hold 62 400m pace for over a mile.

So she's just been waiting for an invitation from a big meet to let her come out and run a 4:09 mile?

another african wins by beating the $hit out of the competition...she must be doped. I bet u think that gymnast that just won the all around is doped too. We've seen the testing they have in place works after the ban of Selsouli and now LaaLou. Besides this isn't the first time she has thrashed the competition.

She was almost certainly in 29:30 shape in 2008 considering how easily she closed her 29:54. I wouldn't be surprised if she's getting back to that kind of form.

Needless to say, someone REALLY needs to organise a paced 10k for Dibaba. Give her a 14:45-50 opeing 5k and lets see if she can go sub 29:30.

There's way too much "doping innuendo" on this site every time someone runs a PR or even just has a good race. Notwithstanding the obvious fanatical fixation the letsrun.com site owner has regarding the "d" word, it would be great if people chilled on this issue. Let the doping tests do what they are intended (i.e. catch those cheating) and get on with it!!

A) LR is SO touchy about drugs. I have had several posts deleted because they mentioned the possibility of PED's

B) As far as testing, if it actually caught people, that would be great. Ben Johnson passed multiple tests for 4 years. The only reason Marion Jones was caught was someone turned in a sample of what she was taking - the tests only looked for what they know of. The chemists are ahead of the testers.

I'm agree. The 1984 video of Coe put this year's 1500m race, and the doping issues more generally, into perspective. Coe not only ran 2 seconds faster than this year's winner, but he also blew away the field, he closed just as fast as this year's winer, AND was approximately 2 second off the WR. And after the finish he does not appear winded. Was Coe doping?

Some of the folks on this board jumping to all manner of conclusions without seemingly any historic reference.

Dibaba was great from an early age. Her performance in the London 10k was nothing special for her.

I have it on good authority that Seb Coe was too juiced to lose.

Of course, the difference is that he was Sebastain Coe, the greatest middle-distance runner ever.

And Dibaba is the greatest female distance runner of all time. 3 Olympic Gold Medals,4 World Championship Gold Medals.

SHE IS A GIANT DOPER!
