Another year of tactical races by Mo?

Didn't notice bekele run like a 26:27 in 08-09? And break 13 in the 08' Olympic 5k? Oh and in 09' run faster in the 10k for a championship than Mo has ever run? And dust Mo aside in the 5k like a lil fly? Pretty sure that's after the "EPO era", oh and for good measure a 2:03:03 marathon last year, Mo wouldn't even be within a mile of him.

If there were a way to prove that Geb, Bekele, El G and that crowd were doped to the gills and Farah is definitely not, then he'd get my vote as the GOAT male distance runner.

Well the same could go for him, my only point was bekele has ran much better times than Mo has post "EPO era" and won titles

no argument there and I'm not sure we're even in the post EPO era just yet. i was just saying what it would take for me to consider Mo the GOAT.

Gotcha, and I agree if anyone is cheating I don't care how much better they are than anyone else, they are disqualified from being the best.

And I just remembered another race earlier that someone went for a record in or appeared too, Saif Saaeed Shaheen 2003 I wanna say, in the steeplechase went out at better than WR pace and actually won the race.

Mo's a celebrity in running circles. I'm sure he takes a lot of pictures with people he doesn't know. It is odd how he tries to distance himself from Aden, though. Doesn't he train with his group occasionally?

Holy Mary, this just makes him look even worse.
