London DL 3000 Start List--Farah, Ritz, Levins, True, Hill, Bumby, Mead, Tahri, T. Bekele

Ritz is the real surprise.

will farah break the world record before the dope wears off

Farah is head and shoulders above this field especially since little Bekele hasn't shown great fitness this year that I know of.

True, Mead, Bumbi, Hill square off again after finishing in that order in Huesden. I think Bumbi has the best PR of these guys (7:40 split en route to 8:13 2-mile indoor this year).

You can already tell that this will be a 7:35-7:40 race based on the people in the field. Farah doesn't care about breaking a record here, he's just gonna wait until the last lap and get the easy win.

I agree, but I'm still hoping the rabbit(s) comes through in 3:45 instead of 3:48. And Moser is the only NOP running Worlds who won't be running at London. And the only Team Schumacher (they really need a different name) who will be there is Bumby (no Derrick, Jager, or Lomong).

why do you hate track and field so much? Yet still come to these posts. Has Farah or anyone else in NOP ever tested positive?

Mary Slaney tested positive for testosterone not long after Alberto Salazar started coaching her.

"just sayin" is Ventolin. And he's insane.

That's not how the Oregon Project (or most training groups) race. Unless it's a championship meet where there are spots for the world team on the line (Olympic Trials 10k with Rupp and Ritz), they do what they can to win the race.

This is just a chance to pick up a paycheck before Moscow for Mo. He has already tested his fitness in Monaco and is now just looking at Moscow. He does not seem interested in fast times.

Well yes yes, you do have a point here.

Do you know if there are entrants list for the other events anywhere?

Again, no. V3 from everything I see, either doesn't comment on it much, or thinks most of the athletes don't dope or at least that it doesn't necessarily take doping to hit those times.

Just sayin is completely convinced the entire sport is dirty.

The start lists for this meet are posted here;

Agree, ventolin pretty much thinks nobody dopes. The only time I can recall was when he gave El G a 50/50 chance of being a doper.

No no no, the part where he said he was insane.
