Former world-record holder Cram, whose time of 3:29.67 secs had stood as a British record since 16 July 1985, said he was shocked after witnessing Farah's "unbelievable" run.
Do you think Cram "knows"?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/athletics/23385989I would hope so, especially after commentating on the race for the BBC
Emphasis on "unbelievable".
cram was commentating for BBC on the race. It was clear from the coverage thats not at all what he was implying. Before the race there was talk of him wanting the UK record but Cram simply didnt expect it to happen like most of us.
on the other hand when makhloufi won gold he was pretty damn skeptical about the performance and hinted more than a little bit that he didnt think it was a clean performance
Deanouk will be upset as well, as this exposes how poor of a 1500m runner Coe truly was... no strength at all. 1:41 for 800m only being able to produce a 3:29-high. No wonder Coe was a 14-min 5000m runner.
Mo Farah doesn't have the wheels of Coe, but his strength truly embarasses the Coe training philosophy.
Wow, mo is way better than coe ever dreamed of being.
no way cram believes
i mean mo farah 3-28

Mo Farah would not beat Coe in a championship non-rabbited race.
He is shocked that a record set in 1985 was broken finally in 2013? Really? Is he shocked because he knows he cheated in 1985?

None of you would have "bet your knickers" on him running that fast because lets face it, Mo Farah is not that fast. It comes as a shock because no one thought Mo Farah had the audacity to dose that heavily before a Diamond League event.
Now go swim the channel, mate er brit or whatever funky thing you poo toothed guys say over there.
Coe is faster over 1500 than any other 1:41 runner in history. That's all that matters. What are the PB's of Rudisha, Cruz and Kipketer over 1500?
How many even 1:42 guys have run under 3:30?
Maybe Coe did have "poor endurance" relative to his speed but his poor endurance was still better than everyone else who was specializing in the 1500.
Not for long I fully expect Mo to run a 1:41 800 soon!

I don't believe it was anywhere near clear that he was implying anything.
I watched the video and did not know Cram was one of the commentators until he said Farah broke his UK record and did not get the slightest inkling he was implying anything
How do we know Farah can't run 1:41?
Before today we didn't think he could run 3:28.
No one.
No one had him going 3:28.

No one? Ventolin predicted it almost down to a tenth of a second.
Do white people in Great Britain get as upset about black immigrants getting national records as white Americans do?
