Since this has gone on so far, a couple of questions -
1) Was there a drug test administered? The athlete in question "broke the record" on an indoor track, attempting to control all variables, be it weather, wind resistance, ease of getting to fluids, food, and lots of support. He also uses K-Tape on both knees, so he looks for any performance benefit.
2) If a drug test was not administered, how would this be considered a record? Sure, I am sure the guys can come back on here and say "oh, there is no funding" etc., but rules are rules, and we've had enough 39-45 yr old fail drug tests (Fred Kaiser, Eddy H., etc.) for simple things such as supplements or amphetamines or legit PEDs
3) Rules are rules. This is no different than my STRAV'ing a 100 mile at under 7:12/mi
Congratulations on the performance, we just want to know it's legit, and don't come on this board with, "oh but he's such a great guy, he would never do anything like that". We want proof.
