G. Dibaba - 14:18.86 - Smashed Defar's World Record by over 5 seconds!

Why is the drug angle being discussed? Every person here knows damn well these world record performances are drug aided. A lot of people held out hope Lance was clean too. They knew he wasn't but wanted to believe. Just like biking, they're all doing it. Just get used to it, people will continue to break records and continue to be caught, unless of course they make people too much money and then wont be caught.

No, they don't, you're just a drugged out idiot

That's worth about 12:42 for a guy.

Sorry, but drugs are killing interest.

You can keep your head in the sand or up your arse, but even then it's pretty obvious.

Sad state of affairs, this.

Drugs are a part of sport...but you have no earthly idea what you're talking about when you say "that's worth about 12:42 for a guy."

The assertion has no foundation that makes sense for the truly intelligent. After all, if you are comparing men and women, you must take into account that women, particularly African women, have been competing for a relatively short span of time. The assertion you make is not something an intelligent person would make.

Congratulations to Genzebe Dibaba. Shame on jealous, possibly racist, ill-informed anonymous posters claiming that she hasn't gained her world record from hard training but from illegal drugs. She has been tested and never failed one, and has also spoken out against drug cheaters, as has her famous sister.

Genzebe Dibaba's world records are phenomenal and clean, achieved through countless monumental training sessions over many years.

It's a simpleton's excuse to write off extraordinary world record achievements such as Genzebe Dibaba's to being "doped to the gills."

Professional runners and long-time fans know better, and stand united in congratulating and supporting Genzebe Dibaba on this monumental indoor 5,000 meter world record.

Every convicted doper in the history of sport has been 100% clean and disgusted anybody would question them. Every dog who bites somebody has an owner saying they're the best dog in the world and the last dog that would ever bite. Quit being so f'ing naive.

No, I'm talking about both single athletes and everyone. More people focus on outdoors more than indoors within and between athletes. Therefore, you can't use your evidence to correctly support your point.

What we know is that GD has incredible genetics and is ridiculously fit for indoors...and Defar's record is from 2009 when cases of EPO micro-dosing were dwindling.

Who does GD train with?

Would you stop libeling this girl, you fcking loser. Dibaba is not on drugs. You're on some kind drugs, most likely crack

iiiiggggfffff-----11111111 LR3.

WAKE UP Fannyboys and girlies.

all need now is canova to say she is

clean to prove it beyond doubt.

renato "i am not capable of telling the

truth" canova .

why wouldnt you coach any chinese men

absolute insult to chinese men and china.

i think it is your mind dirty . Ethiopians athletes works hard and score an incredible result

The first pacer dropped out after 1200m and the second one, I think, around 2000m. So she was alone for far more than half of the race.

Would it make me less racist if I admit that the Russian women are just as doped up as the Ethios, Kenyans and Jamaicans (I have Russian heritage)?

Don´t forget the dirtiest country of them all: America.

Dibaba wasn't all alone. Pacemaker was Tamara Tverdostup (Ukr) (about 2.000 m)

You do need to look at the races.

The indoor 12'53 was pretty quick thruout, whereas in that 12'48, he took the pace on between 3 - 4km in ~ 2'34, but backed of last km until bell when there was a mass sprint won in 54+ !!!

All the < 12'50 guys in that race shoud have gone 3 or 4s faster if pace had been hard to the bell

Galen Rupp's indoor PB is 13:01.26. His outdoor pb is 12:58.90

Rupp has never been in a fast-to-bell 5k. His coach already intimated he was in ~ 12'50 shape if such had been case

You can run nearly as fast indoors as outdoors (some think it's faster) paticularly at 5000. Outdoors on the DL circuit, many of the 5000s are run in the middle of a windy day. Indoors the temperature is perfect and there is zero wind

Only because of race circumstances.

A good working number for difference between outdoor/indoors for races of 800 & up assuming "perfect" races is

1%

Dibaba wasn't all alone. Pacemaker was Tamara Tverdostup (Ukr) (about 2.000 m)

Damn it, she beat my PR. Look, drugs don't help with beautiful efficient form. This family was built for running. Compact, fluid, powerful. Total dream.

Congrats, Dibaba. She is on her way to greatness.
