Let's take away all the PED's and advantages, and great weather, and so on. Put them in a hick town in Alabama, working their butts off for minimum wage, and having four kids they have to pay child support for, and a nagging ex-wife. They have to show up at work everyday Monday through Sunday 6 a.m. till 9 at night. What would they run Sunday?
Fact. It isn't humanly possible to break 2:10 in the marathon without using some sort of performance enhancing drug.
Galen Rupp would have been the 6th man on the cross country team for the Crimson Tide and would have married a fat woman.
Alabama racists would bully Mo so much that he would have ended up racing for the Special Olympics gold.

No, about 2:06 is the clean limit. Mid 2:05 with cheating shoes.

So is your point basically that making a long string of absolutely terrible life choices can make it harder to run fast?
It would be funny if Rupp runs better than he ever has with his next coach.
Better than he ever has still won't be faster than Hall, so who gives a shite? A 2:06 is a joke in today's world class marathon world.
