i know, mtn dew, it sucks, but think about it. epo "testing" comes out, and suddenly nobody comes within 1 second per lap of either of geb's records. and its not like he set them in a vacuum - plenty of komens and tergats around him in his time. then geb is human. komen falls off the planet. ngeny falls off the planet. tergat hits the roads. and marathoners have contracts to drop out if the temperature rises above 80 some odd degrees.
perhaps you would have said the same thing when someone accused boulami's 7:55, except, whoops, he got caught. it makes me wonder whom he pissed off to get "caught"
and lets talk about the agents. rosa and jos hermans - two drug transplants from the euro cycling culture.
and, finally, charlie francis' testimony. his words are far too informative and eloquent to be fiction or pouting (especially now that now he is stretching the two fastest runners in the world)
soporific somnolence aside, i prefer to call it SKEPTICISM
