2 seconds is like less than 1%. Marginal gains.

Haha like if someone took over 1.0 off the 800 or 2.0 off the 1500 WR in one race.

I just turn on NBC and they were interviewing some JACKED girl that just set a WR by like 5 seconds. My first instinct was, "Do we have a caster situation?"

but then once I listened to her, I thought she was kind of hot and definitely not a caster.

The phrase is "Semenya situation."

My first thought: doper.

Yes.

Something about the way her husband celebrated bothered me. He acted like an action figure in a game. Roaring with testosterone, hands overhead. Not like a guy genuinely delighted to share in his spouse's win. It was weird.

When Hosszu was interviewed a short while later, she sounded like somebody who was shocked by how well the drugs had worked. Shocked and slightly embarrassed. You want to win, but you know it's not fair when you're transformed into a.......Transformer.

So now Letsrunners think they can divine doping status by spousal celebration form.

I've combined two threads into 1. We had one asking if she was a Caster Semenya and one if she was a doper.

Never mind that these are two separate issues...

Only in the LetsRun brain should those be combined as one thread.

1% is not much? wrote:

I agree, this is like a 0.1s gain in the 100m. Bolt did that (9.69 to 9.58) in 100m and he's never tested positive.

And everyone said it was a crazy drop. It was. Like 0.5 in the 400 or 2.0 in the mile would be.

Swimnews, previously the world leading source on the sport, is actually being sued for an article casting suspicion on her. So yes, swimming experts thinks it's dodgy. Even pre-WR

1% is weak compared to 2% wrote:

Michael Johnson did almost 2% (19.66 to 19.32) in the 200m. It happens.

1% is a lot! wrote:

Ben Johnson did a 1% marginal gain (9.93 to 9.83 in Rome 1987), and they only later rescinded it.

And was roundly accused of doping...

It's the insult du hour of whiny millennials who recently discovered what "cuckhold" means while surfing the web on their mom's computer for porn.

The people who use it are usually too inexperienced to realize just how obvious a "tell" it is. If you see someone anywhere saying "hurr durr beta cuck", you can rest assured they're at least a year or two away from getting their driver's license.

Likely doper married to a complete dope. https://static01.nyt.com/images/2016/07/26/sports/olympics/00HOSSZUgrid/00HOSSZUgrid-master675.jpg

It was swimming world but you are pretty much right.

"Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszu has filed a libel lawsuit against writer Casey Barrett and the parent company of Swimming World Magazine for an editorial published on Swimming World‘s website alleging that Hosszu should be suspected of doping."

"The editorial, titled “Are Katinka Hosszu’s Performances Being Aided?” was published last May as an opinion piece by Barrett, a former Olympic swimmer for Canada who has been writing for a documentary about East German doping at the 1976 Olympics."

Here is the article that led to the lawsuit:

Here is the complaint:

I found all of this out thanks to swimswam:

Does anyone know what happened to the lawsuit? I'd be hapy to donate to his legal defense fund. He posed it as a question and said he hoped it wasn't true. There's not basis for a suit in the US.

she was 5 seconds up at the 300 after butter and back.... was thinking she was 120% juiced. But 2 seconds off the WR at the end is within the realm of possible. She went out really hard.

She does look like a woman you want to have at your next alleyway knife fight though. Kimbo slice stuff. Can't believe anyone would marry it (except her juiced up, slavic coach/husband)

OMFG you all seriously don't have a clue. The woma is barely 130 pounds. People do look more exaggerrated in their size on TV, that's a well known FACT. She is shaped like a swimmer because...well, she's a swimmer and that's why her traps and delts are so side. Consider that she has spent her lifetime in the pool.

If she stood next to you, you'd barely notice her. Find a friend of yours who is 130 pounds and notice just how freakin small she would be in person.

I lived in Hungary for a couple years and her husband reminded me of some of the dudes I knew there. They aren't all like that but there was definitely a subset of large, very intense dudes who behaved exactly like that. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary there. I kind of laughed actually because it reminded me of some crazy nights way back. People really know how to party in Hungary, and the women are smoking hot. If you ever get the chance to visit, don't pass it up.

Sure, he could be roided out but there are also some naturally very strong people there. There's a reason Hungary is good at throwing events.

with all respect now ...........................

1.

the one event that is so technical that if can master

can leave all the rest in the dust .

again like phelps or lochte

2.

physique looks normal for female swimmer that

has to excel at all events and butterfly .

3

have to look at career more closely to see if doper

and cant be bothered

is igf-1 lr3 at play ,

and is other dope involved or worth risk

when easily such gains can be got naturally in

swimming by technique ,new training methods

as unlike track ,

swimming training still changing

if look at aussie trainers for 1500m..............

so besides peptides not worth the risk.
