The top 10 runners of all time, listed in no particular order within each section:
1-3
Kenenisa Bekele
Haile Gebrselassie
Hicham El Guerrouj
4-6
Noureddine Morceli
Eliud Kipchoge
Daniel Komen
7-10
Paul Tergat
Said Aouita
Sebastian Coe
Moses Kiptanui
Aside from Seb Coe, I can't think of a single non-African that belongs on this list. Who am I missing? Nurmi, Zatopek, and Viren all come to mind but I don't see who I could replace.
Evan Jager number 15 in steeplechase.
Steve cram at number 4 and Webb at number 8 in the mile.
Very amusing double troll. First you miss the DOUBLE double Olympic Champion from your list which is laughable. Plus you added your racist angle as well. Moran.
This thread could equally be titled - 'Is Sebastican Coe the only non-EPO fueled distance runner in the top 10?'
Zatopek and Gunder Hagg are epic and belong in the list. Both would definately be in the top 20 at least.
Weird order, and I'd replace Coe and Aouita with Farah and Rudisha.

Yes. Laser Viren definitely should be on the list
Does it honestly not bother any of you in the slightest that by some massive co-incidence, in the 120+ year history of distance running, that 9 of the top 10 'greatest' ever happened to be in active in the relatively very brief 12 year period or so (say 1992-2004) when the world's only ever endurance drug was available and was virtually untested for? Why not just throw in Ramzi and Kiprop in there, it wouldn't concern 90% of you, would it? You're probably far more upset at the presence of a 'whitey' in there.
No we are upset that you, COEVETT, are still allowed to post on this site. Really, what are the Mods on this site thinking? Every post that you make brings down the average IQ a few points for every one of us. Please do everyone a kindness and disappear.
I think an argument could be made for Fermín Cacho, simply for the fact he's the fastest non-African at the 1500 (3:28.95). I don't think a non-African will ever beat that time and it will probably stand forever. Cacho is also an Olympic gold medalist, which is tough to do with the historical depth at that discipline in the 90s & 00s.
Cacho be da man! ?

??? Only a low IQ moran would think I'm the racist here. The OP is a racist (anti-white) troll thread, and I'm correct to point out that nearly all of these 'greatest ever' runners were active during the single decade or so when EPO became available and was untestable for. The odds of these runners being the greatest ever without drugs is about zero.

So I'm the evil racist for trying to counter the myth that East (and North) Africans are somehow on a different genetic plane to the rest of humanity. Threads like this, and posts like this, should be banned for explicit racism. I wonder how many young non-African middle-distance athletes have come to these boards and just had the motivation and belief crushed out of them by the racist weirdos here. And you'll stick to your faith (and threaten people like me who point you out) no matter how many East African cheats continue to get busted.
Oh, and btw, Jakob could very well break Cacho's record this year or next, although more importantly, he could and likely will break the clean WR of Nick Willis this year.

Yes you are. The above post illustrates it perfectly and leaves no doubt whatsoever.

Where do you see prejudice there? I replaced a Brit with a Brit, and a Moroccan with a Kenyan. Anti-Moroccan?
Or, 800 - 5000 m stars with 800 - 10000 m stars? Pro-10000?
I know you are trying to be cute, but didn't you promise to stop trolling me?

I agree that he is lame, but there are worse trolls. And letsrun isn't exactly against trolling or racism, so no surprise here.

How is it racist to point out at the majority of the best runners of all time are Africans?

Well for a start it's difficult to see how you can claim Rudisha is a greater 'distance runner' than Coe. Unless it's because you believe Rudisha is clean (and we know you think Coe was dirty). But then surely nobody, including you, is basing this list on who is likely to have been clean or dirty?
And no I didn't promise anything.

No, it's quite reasonable to believe that Willis is the clean WR holder. Most of the names above him are pretty obvious EPO era cheats. Notice I include Cacho in that.
And who cares what you think? You're accusing me of being a racist for objecting to a thread which is indirectly boasting that white distance runners suck. It doesn't matter if racist weirdos like you are the majority here. That's the fault of the Brojos and the mods for letting it get out of hand.
And why don't you try answering my point? How is it possible, that according to the OP's top 10 list, nine of the top ten greatest in 120 years were active in one decade of EPO being available and untestable. The odds of that happening by chance are obviously gigantic.
