That's why it's hard not to be suspicious. Most people couldn't run a time like that, much less at 45. I don't care how hard he trains, the body just starts working against you. And he does not have all the perks and luxuries the studs listed have.

Yes, I know, he ran a 14:11 5k. That too...at 45!
How?
This thread is* officially dead. Goodbye

I just saw this jokers Facebook . He has a nasty look as he is holding one of the little girls on the team. Innocent behavior indeed. Someone should inform the police. What kinda coach does this crap.
What kind of school hires a convicted drug dealer? That sold to kids?

Yeah, you forgot about me too.
Actually, I *was* a Louisiana runner, living a 30 minute drive from Lafayette for over 20 years. (I've been a "Pennsylvania runner" for the last two years.) I know Kevin pretty well.
Is he doping? I don't know. Could be. And perhaps not. Here's what I do know: class guy. Soft spoken and humble. Always has time to talk to anyone. Never brings up his running exploits unless asked. All that doesn't mean he's clean, I know. But he's high character, and that matters to me.

He's not "most people." Neither are the dozen people whose names show up on the all time USATF age-graded records list. Guys like Norm Green, Pete McGill, etc. Are you saying that THEY are using PEDs?
I didn't think so. Castille has earned his place in their company, but he's by no means the outlier. So your point was....?

So he trained with the Kentucky doping group in 2012? Sorry, but that raises suspicion in my mind. Doping or not, one thing is for sure - this guy is an incredibly freakishly talented masters runner. How many doped guys over 45 could break 1:04 besides this guy? Probably close to none.

Seems like someone who is not making a whole lot of money off races and setting records no one really cares all that much about could pretty easily dope and get away with it.
From what I've seen...rarely. If ever. That's was the biggest surprise to me when I became a master. At the few open US champs I've raced in, they always made mention of drug testing, laid out the protocol, what to do if you're selected, etc. But as a master, I've never once heard a single thing about it. The only indication is a link on the USATF website that says it's always possible. I can definitely see how guys could do it, because it seems like it would be pretty easy to get away with. For that reason, I would guess it's more common than people realize. The biggest problem is finding the line between doping and actual medical issues that older runners have. As someone mentioned earlier, medically prescribed testosterone is probably considered legit by some, but in my mind, it's just as dirty as EPO if your reason is to gain an advantage.

Pete Magill doesn't seem to participate in the USATF events. The World Masters championships was in his state a few years ago and he didn't bother to go. Hmmm.........
You're talking about Trump-level cognitive dissonance. You better watch it around here. Trump can do NO bad, got it?
