If there was proof then we wouldn't have to ask the question?

OP here. My original question has led to the same arguments I have been having with my friend here. I was hoping for video evidence, or link to Diamnond League, Olympic Trials, WC, or Olympic splits. Anyone have good links?
I can find this breakdown of splits for Galen from the US Olympic Trials: 10,000m 6-22-2012 and 5,000m on 6-28-2012. I can't find anything this specific for Solinsky, because none of the race results I find break down the splits like below.
