Strongly disagree that it's inherently "more interesting" to watch people run faster times. I like honest clean races and get no joy out of watching obvious frauds. What we saw today was a bunch of 27:45 guys, they just cheated to run faster.
Well, we have a difference of opinion. You have an ethical claim which I can appreciate, but I bet you don’t apply it objectively to all athletes or sport. Especially judging the rest of your comment, which is pure horse turds.
But I don’t claim to know who the “obvious frauds” are by looking at them and not having any evidence like you do (seriously dude?! How do you even rationalize such a subjective call in your own brain with no facts or evidence?) What if you found out Gebhriwet was clean and Ben True was dirty?! I bet you your mortgage that you have equal evidence about both of them where you sit behind your computer screen.
The most exciting tour de frances were with Armstrong and I still watch that Floyd landis comeback day. Watching Bekele crank out 61 second laps alone in Hengelo for his 5,000m WR is awesome. Probably EPO, but amazing to watch and understand he strung together 24 200’s at 30.x pace for 12 and a half minutes. Go to the track and run a few at 30.x and tell me how you feel. It’s cool to see what’s possible, humans are always pushing. The new Nike 4% are a total cheat but look at how amazing Kipchoge is.
Who do you root for? The people in 9th and 10th place?! You don’t even know their story either but your going to say you do by looking at them?!
Enjoy your hypocritical morality. I guess we all have to go on living by our own moral code, huh?
