What you mean to say is millions of bogus advertisements foisted upon a well conditioned and ignorant public that readily thinks how they are told to by the corporate media.

No, what I mean to say is what I said.

You're an idiot (and I meant to say that without a hint of ambiguity).

You guys are overreacting regarding this fact (assuming it's true). A 1:01 half marathon is mediocre. It hardly screams doping. The fact that he was so successful with it says more about US road running than it does him doping.

A 1:01 half marathon is what you should expect for someone who ran his times in highschool. It's only equivalent to a ~28 minute 10K or a 13:2X 5k. That hardly says doping. It says that US road running sucks.

mcmillan.com says that a 61:00 half-marathon is equivalent to a 13:11 5000 or 27:22 10k. 61:30 would put you in the 100 fastest times of the year so far, so it's a mediocre time only by letsblowhard standards.

Proves my point.

Incorrect, he was popped at the b'ham airport, a few days before the trials (as he fig'd he still had a few days to get it out of his system). ask his roommate at the otc, Ibriham Aden, he found syringes in eddy's room and confronted him, and later saw eddy throw on a hoodie and take off when tester's came for Meb, Deena, Shay, etc. Also, Eddy was NOT at Co Spgs, he (and everyone else) were at Chula Vista. please know before you post garbage, thank you.

Wrong, Eddy got popped for EPO while training at the Olympic training center in CO, Springs.

Did anyone else watch the Chris Derrick interview and think that he was biting his tongue and just dying to call out Rupp when he was talking about the few others he had suspicions about?

That'd be funny, because all the Schumacher group, Solinsky, Teg, etc, are more suspect than Rupp. Rupp making Olympic/World teams every year since 2007, Solinsky not making even one though older, suddenly drops a 26:59 in Rupp's best race and destroys the AR in a distance he never ran before, then does a few more great races, and disappears from whence he came.

Not saying anyone is dirty, but I were a betting man and had to pick...

Solinsky lost a lot of weight and trained in an unsustainable way.

It produced a magnificent 2010 season.

He then ripped his hamstring off of his pelvis. That is why he, as you put it, "disappeared"

I'm pretty sure anyone who goes through that will disappear for awhile

Mo Trafeh was living and training with Adrianna Pirtea Nelson for a month while getting his hamstring worked on by her doctor; so maybe the epo was for her.

thanks for digging up a 6 month old thread with basically useless info. oh, Hi Mo! guess I wouldn't be surprised with nelson, but don't really have a ton of reason to suspect her. you on the other hand Mo, everyone knew you were and from the start. much too obvious. good riddance.

I have never met Mo nor seen him in my life, my teammate knows him very well and thats what he told me. Sorry to bring up this old thread. BTW does anybody know what his ban was?

usada never announced it, which likely means he's still stalling or stonewalling, trying to get some leniency from them. They were threatening him with life, which is exactly what they should be giving him.

bump for the

it is breaking news believers
