Where there is room for doubt , and you get a lot of presumptive deniers here too, is ultra-mountain running.
I am not saying Africans wouldn't dominate but they haven't proved it. Personally I think there is a good chance the skinny lower legs won't be good. There may be other physiological components we are ignorant about in regards to predicting mountain running success for them. Again, not enough evidence either way.
Agreed.
EPO available over the counter in Iten, official testers giving athletes days notice of 'random tests' (it takes less than 24 hours to clear EPO out of the system), one successful runner able to lift an entire village out of poverty..it's naive in the extreme to rule out the possibility that East African DOMINATION isn't down to an endemic culture of doping.
