Radcliffe says she's not releasing blood values

Weldon - Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts under what are obviously difficult circumstances. Hope you can influence Radcliffe in the direction of transparency.

Meanwhile, a question that I'm sure is on the minds of many LRCers - will you be participating in the media 800, and if so, what kind of time do you think you can run + will you stick with the iconic khakis?

"Her" and Gary?

Thank you. It's good to know that I'm not the only one bothered by so-called journalists who get the very basics wrong, despite years of trying to write.

Paula wanted EPO cheats out because she was doing it the old-fashioned way, using blood transfusions. EPO was just plain unfair!!!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned her incredibly poor form. Name one doping WR holder, suspected doping WR holder, Oly champ or other high profile suspected persons who had such poor form as PR (Ben Johnson, gatlin, haile, el G, KB, rupp, flo Jo, Wang junxia, etc). Had her form even been average she'd have run 2:14 and if it was great it'd probably be 2:13 or better...she doesnt pass the eye test whatsoever

Still waiting for US athletes to release their blood results. US posters prefer to deflect attention by attacking Brits, Kenyans, etc - anything rather than focus on US dopers. As usual the US leads the way in sanctimonious hypocrisy.

Hey, damned straight. I'm the BEST damned sanctimonious hypocrite on the planet. I am the chosen one. And if you don't like it I'll bury your entire nation in 10 feet of radioactive rubble.

A bit sensitive - must have touched a nerve. What a well reasoned and thoughtful response. I bow to your intellectual superiority.

And still no US athlete has released their results. Their continued silence is DEAFENING.

No shit she wont put out her blood values. Shame on letsdope.com for backing these dirty athletes 4 so long.

How can anyone say she is clean. Her marathon is equivalent to the following on the IAAF scoring tables:

1500m, 3:41

3000m, 8:00

5000m, 13:52

10,000, 29:04

Seriously, she was juiced to the gills. Yes, she worked harder than anyone else in history but she was dirty, simple as that. Leave the personal shit out of it.

The correct IAAF equivalents are:

3:51

8:10

14:01

29:36

Note that we have one active female athlete (G Dibaba) who is capable of most or all of these times.

I believe she is dirty, but no more than her roughly equal predecessors (Junxia actually more of an outlier with 8:06/29:3x)

The ONLY reason that UK athletes are putting out blood values (as opposed to US or others) is that the British press SPECIFICALLY called out an iconic *British* female runner of the past ten years as having three abnormal tests. They are attempting to distance themselves from a fairly specific allegation.

I would like ALL athletes to have their data public, but the US athletes are NOT being hypocritical...so far.

Hi Wejo, in my opinion I think you are conflicted in this situation or don't want to believe a friend of yours could do a wrong. Thus far, in reading your post, I feel like you are still trying or want to protect her versus someone like Galen Rupp who would be attacked/or ripped apart right away on this site for a similar situation. I have to agree w/others, Paula did not look confident in her latest video.

Agreed. The silence from Galen Rupp and all the other US athletes is, what's the word, DEAFENING.

No doubt the US fans will be cheering for twice convicted drug cheat Gatlin.

US wins gold for hypocrisy.

Have you been living under a rock the entire summer?

The irony.

You shouldn't be surprised. You should be embarrassed that you think bad form can be seen with your eyes. Jack Daniels has already shown this to be false.

distinck!

Oops...."distinct" LOL

Just read back those last two lines to yourself

"The IAAF have no idea what you're talking about. None of their records show any of those people that you are talking about"...

I'm sorry but how the f* would Paula know that??? Has she got access to non -public information about other athletes from the IAAF? If so why? If not, why would she say this unless she was desperately scrambling around for a defence???

I've been saying the same thing for years.

She is definitely on the inside, which is why Yegorova was banned, not due to drug use, and that's why Radcliffe was not baned.

Even if Paula explained away the blood values, it wouldn't prove she was clean, but it would make me sleep better because I have never been more impressed with an athlete in my life than Paula Radcliffe.

Full out support of the worst drug cheat in track & field history.

Was he waffling, or full out supporting her? I need to know.

So she wants the list from IAAF's own database which they have been sitting on doing nothing, to be revealed to the IAAF?

You've convinced me. Straight forward, she's clean

Yeah, can someone explain what she could have meant by that?
