It was you, not "he," and I asked you to name a world class 17-year-old suspected age cheat who was still running fast at age 37
Haile and Eliud were both considered age cheats. Haile was still running 60 min halfs 3 years ago.

On the drug front:
Everyone good is on drugs
X is not on drugs, they just work really hard
White runners are never accused of being on drugs
Runners from Y country are not on drugs, its against their culture
T&F never busts any big names, they are protected
If you are poor you can't be on drugs. its too expensive
If you are nice you can't be on drugs
Every drastic improvement must be due to drugs
You can tell that someone is on drugs by how they look (look braces!)
Random:
My conclusions are infallible, yours are wrong - unless you agree with me.
Every high school star should (have) become a college star unless their college coach screws them up.
X high school burns out all their runners because I don't hear that much/anything about them after they graduate.
Runners from my era are way better than today's runners because - a) they trained way harder and wanted it more then today's spolied runners b) because they didn't have the advantages of todays training so would be much faster today

Bekele didn't get much help from pacers during his 5 and 10k world records.
