A quick poll (maybe this should go on the home page) what about it, ROJO???
Of the current world records, which ones do you think we're set by athletes using their secret twin to help out?
Men's 100m? Usain Bolt? He's 6'5". He's black. From Jamaica. There can't be THAT many black guys who stand 6'5" tall from Jamaica. If he had a twin, somebody would've noticed.
Men's 200m? See above (clearly this is now suspicious, same pattern of one shorter race and one longer race as Mo) - And both records by the same name, by a guy wearing the same color uniform in BOTH races. If it looks like a duck ....
Men's 400m? Michael Johnson. Alias, superman. Why would an athlete have an alias? Are there really TWO Michael Johnson's?
Men's 800m? David Rudisha. Let's just say "Kenyan". The last WR holder in the 800? Also Kenya.
Men's 1500m? El G. In Moroccan english, "Hicham" means "first of two". You decide. From the twinningest era in T&F's history.
Men's 3000m? Daniel Komen. How many freakin Daniel Komen's are there, exactly? This guy is probably one of quadruplets, and doesn't even TRY to hide it. How else could anyone run TWO sub 4 min miles back to back? Notice all those even numbers? As binary as it gets. And he did it how many time? Twice? He's a twinner.
Men's 5000m? Kenenisa Bekele. We already know about one of his brothers. Does he have a twin?
Men's 10 000m? As above. How can the same name hold TWO records? In the same two events as Mo and Fo? I think we Know, Bro. There wasn't even an effective TEST for twins when Kenny ran this. Clearly a twinner.
Men's marathon? Another Kipsang. That name is about as much a giveaway as the Komen character. 'Nother twinner.
Women's
100m and 200m? Flo and Jo. Need I say mo?
400m? I was at the track in Canberra, Aus, when Marita Koch ran this. She's clean. No twin. Watched with both my eyes. And my brother. Not a twin.
800m? Jarmila K. There is simply no way she's a twin. No way. There can not be two people in the history of people who look like Jarmila. Not a twinner. Clean.
1500m? Well, we know two runners in the race both went under the record, so it really doesn't matter if they were twins or not. They both broke the record. Clean.
3000m? There's been some skepticism about this race for a while, perhaps you've seen it online once or twice. But there is no proof of Junxia Wang having had a twin. Under Chinese law, I'd say it's safe to say Junxia Wang does not a have a twin.
5000m? Tirunesh Dibaba. Another one of those Ethiopians with siblings. Always questionable. Likely twinner.
10000m? Junxia Wang. Again. I know you have your doubts. Not a twin. Proof? See here

Marathon? I've never heard Paula mention a twin. She apparently was completely unaware of what Farah was clearly up to in his failed London attempt .... And I think if she was guilty of the same, she'd have sounded guilty or suspicious. Mostly though, she smiles after races, so she clearly isn't a twinner.
We should send contact USATA, and have them file a report to WATA.
that said ... I hope Mo isn't down in the dumps after he and his brother's efforts this past year. Sure, a DNF, and being hosed by thousands of hobby joggers in a big race isn't a good line to have in his resume, but he did beat a couple of teenagers in a race in Moscow, so he has that going for him.
