Coe's 1:41.73 is simply amazing! - it's hard to believe only two guys (Rudisha & Kipketer) have run faster in 37 years.
On Farah: When was he an "also-run" transitioning to unbeatable? (I think you're getting him confused with Ramzi).
Coe, yes. In his defense/to his advantage: blood transfusions were legal back then. Plus, no OOC testing. He would actually make a much better subject for this thread, giving his CSM bonuses and his lobbying for Nike to his spiritual leader and then lying about it. And his attacks on Seppelt, Ashenden and Parisotto for revealing the (sad) truth. Etc. etc.
Farah, really? At the beginning of this decade, age 26/27. Plus coached by Salazar, Aden, lying about it, not opening the door to the OOC tester, lost injection paper work and "likely doping". That's quite a lot of smoke.
