I dont really like mo at all. I dont think todays athletes are 100% clean, but i would venture to say distance running is a few degrees cleaner than the mid/late 90s. i think that should be taken into consideration though.."
Well considering Geb ran his marathon WR at age 35 in the year 2008, would vindicate him then as age adjusted it is his greatest performance...equivalent to a 2:02:00 in is prime.
