In the absence of blood data as it was the wild west of athletics back then (and as with armstrong), what would count as indubitable evidence for you? Eyewitness accounts? Passport checks? All circumstantial, right? Armstrong was essentially convicted by usada by an avalanche of eye witness accounts. Would you say hes innocent? Hes admitted hes guilty. Its Coe's turn - its only right the head of the iaaf is properly investigated. Why arent they vetted before appointment??? Episodic, systemtatic corruption. His guilt would be revealed so they dont do it. It takes panorama to check them out!!! And so many in denial.
I think that Coe loves to tell stories and hyperbolize, mythologize etc. I don't like that, but that's what celebrities do. I don't believe your story, I think it's just another myth. But if you do, I will ask you again, why don't you confront him?
