id say if i took amazing amounts of drugs i could be world champ too!
shes whats wrong with this sport!
Go away asshole, Give the lady credit! Yes she was tested in Boston. Yes, they TEST GOLD MEDAL WINNERS. Wait I'm sure her and her husband/coach or better yet maybe Floyd the dog has come up with a way to beat the best tests in the world....Props to Regina and Dave!
I said last month Regina would win GOLD if healthy and she ran! Now her second gold is the AR in the 1500m, watch her go after and accomplish that too!
Come on folks - lord knows there's drug-testing at WC's. Do you really think the brits would cut Regina a break with Kelly Holmes in the field??? I don't know what Regina puts in her body, and neither do you, so while I'm not saying you have to give her props, you need to refrain from the accusations until she actually tests positive...

Kudos for calbear and a statement of sanity! Honestly I am not too thrilled about Regina personality; however, she is a sensational, world class athlete. Until she test positive for sometype of banned substance she is worthy of much better than what the majority of the posters place on the board.
Vipam
Will all the people who claimed she would not even show up at the World Indoor Championships kindly submit their apologies in writing now?
Shit, thats a damn good run. Hasn't she won world indoors before. I know shes gotten the silver outdoors twice, she hoesntly may be the best US Mid distance woman ever, regardless of whether she is annoying or not.
hasn't the USATF been threatened with sanctions from IAAF for masking positive results for years?
do you remember c.j. hunter? dennis mitchell? they tested positive, and were not reported for 18 MONTHS afterwards...
yeah, she's clean. and the easter bunny is f-ing real, too.
you guys are such saps. don't you realize that her "newfound ability" is much like the 30-somethings like anton who mysteriously became world beaters...didn't those guys test positive, too? and for those of you NOT in the know, it's MUCH easier for women to juice than men; because they lack large amounts of naturally occurring testosterone, any small dosage has HUGE effects on them. and is quite a bit harder to detect, since it is naturally cleared...
no, i don't have facts. but there's more circumstantial evidence here than convicts many criminals in our justice system.

Older age + better performance = circumstantial evidence? You gotta do better than that...
Obviously I would have to chime in on this thread. Seriously Vipam I hope you don't really believe that she is going to break the American Record in the 1500m? That is some rare territory, she is not, and won't be in that kind of shape-and is limited from ever being able to run that fast in a race because she won't go out fast enough against a good field with a rabbit to be on that kind of pace, AND IF she did she wouldn't be able to finish off that pace-how many times do I have to say it-see 90% of the races she has run in Europe.
Nice to see that some people are realists AND have legitimate knowledge about the situation. The same person that thinks it is possible for a 40 yr old woman to run 3:59 believes that ANY woman can run 3:50 for 1500m. It is not humanly possible clean. It is unfortunate, especially on the women's side of the sport, but I can guarantee that the WR's 400-10,000m are all drug enhanced times. Sure makes it hard for someone competing today to know that they may be the best in their generation, but still have no chance of getting close to those times(except Radcliffe).
Colleen De Reuck is about the same age as Regina Jacobs and is running beter than ever, and no one expresses any suspicions about her ...not that they should. Gee, I wonder why there's so much animosity to Regina and not Colleen. Could it be....
why is it that no one can accept regina's success without posting something about her being on drugs. i'm pretty sure hundreds of others of runners have tried using drugs to become competitive runners at her level, but not many have ever run like she has. so bugger off!
So this is like another 4:20 mile by Regina at the age of 39+. Good for her, she is amazing no matter what.....?
Good for Regina!!!!!! : )
how about every WR, men and women, is dirty?
I am deeply offended by your comment 'bout the Easter Bunny!!!
No Limit, you are a prick! You come on this board and talk shit about Regina and you know don't squat )you may think you do but your just a loser) . Why don't you just give credit where it it due. All you do is talk about Suzy and her time last year....However,when she drops out you don't say shit. Come on, Medals and World records...lets see Suzy vs Regina again, No contest!
Why don't you tell us where Suzy is when in fact she's some place else, same with schwald..go away
