Thanks for that. Very funny.

He(Eldrik) freely admits to 'morphing", or whatever he calls it, into Ventolin, so he can't blatantly not tell the truth on here now and deny being one and the same.

At least one thing hasn't changed; the ability to ask a question, practically ignore anyone who tries to help answer it, and then give his own answer anyway!

Here's another example of Ventolin's volte-face

"coe ran 1'41 over 25y ago & the record has only moved on by 1/2s since then ( give him a more modern track & record may not have moved at all ! )"

From: -

Now he claims not only that the track was short, but also illegally hard and that Coe wasn't really a sub 1:42 runner. Also that the mondo tracks of today aren't any quicker!

Thats quite the civil articulate sounding ventolin as opposed to the minimalism writing peabrain accusing one we see today.

The ballet troupe were diagnosed once back in the UK, and this occurred several years after 1983.

If you were my GP I'd report you for incompetence.

more nonsense from someone unable to research

there is brief sentence ballet troupe contracted it in '84, but no details of formal, verified diagnosis, nothing about how many involved nor where diagnosis made, etc :

as for coe's acquistion of confirmed toxo, his explanation borders on the pathetic :

he believes he may have caught it from the feral cat population in rome ???!!!

what on earth were these cats doing ???

prancing around & defaecating wildly in the confines of his 5-star hotel room ???!!!

Ventolin, you are embarrassing yourself every time you post in this thread, to the point that you seem to know next to nothing about the history of track.

no

infusing own blood came in '90s-cyclists

toxoplasmosis guys - stoopid

This isn't just wrong. This is so wrong that it invalidates everything you have said and ever will say about athletics.

learn to read

it's ventolin

whoever that guy you quote is, he clearly didn't know about virtally unknown firenze track where most every elite distance runner just turned up & gets big sb or pb, i doubt he wouda posted it

& nothing about hard track, just likely short

aouita from 13'45+ down to 13'04 !!!

utterly ridiculous

Toxo is hugely prevalent in Italy, though his reasons for getting it are wrong. He probably got it from undercooked meat and a weakened immune system from overtraining.http://www.bmj.com/content/321/7254/142

Risk factors most strongly predictive of acute infection in pregnant women were eating undercooked lamb, beef, or game, contact with soil, and travel outside Europe and the United States and Canada. Contact with cats was not a risk factor. Between 30% and 63% of infections in different centres were attributed to consumption of undercooked or cured meat products and 6% to 17% to soil contact.

Bottom line: there are many ways to get toxoplasmosis, 20-30% of Europeans had it in the '80s, and Coe's lifestyle as a frequent traveler put him at risk. When faced with a choice between the obvious method of eating undercooked meat, and your suggestion of undergoing a poorly advised blood transfusion, I think the conclusion is obvious. Unless you have compelling evidence that he got it this way?

that paper says it is 55% prevalence in france !

that is ridiculous as france woud be considered as advanced a country as anywhere in europe

& do the maths :

36% - 80% of infections due to dietary or soil factors

that leaves anyhwere between a whopping 20 - 64% of population NOT acquiring it via those routes

no

he was not staying & dining in homeless shelters but top hotels in his travels

he was not some backpacker roughing it around europe

no

the stats show 20 - 64% of infections NOT acquired via food/soil

So, in the face of irrefutable evidence, you are still claiming NOT to be the same person as Eldrick? ROFL

Everyone knows it. The fact you deny the truth just reinforces the fact that nothing you state is believable. And you're not man enough to admit you are wrong.

The record has now been ratified.

Another example of Hutchings talking out of his ass.
