The atrocity that was World "Juniors"...
Trying to pop these dudes for drug and/or age cheating has proved futile. Best to just scrap their events, as the good Lord has done. Let the Italian handlers take their "18-year-olds" to the roads.
We have a long way to go, but this is a fantastic start.
Once Jakob started giving the EPO cheats a run for their money, the people behind this whole mess decided to go all in and hand out more money to grease the skids that have allowed rampant cheating by certain peoples and nations. All of a sudden the Epopians were cruising to sub 13:50 times. A few guys on the board predicted this would happen and they were right. It will be even worse this year with E. Africans and certain other third worlders producing ridiculous performances.
Good first move by Coe but a lot more needs to be done. Road racing is a joke too. The E. Africans have a lot of talented people, but kill drug use and the total domination disappears.
Right now Coe and crew are fighting an uphill battle. The forces behind this cheating and a lot of other things in the world dedicated to attacking the West in literally all areas are on their hind legs and screaming. Do some detective work.
