Why have you made another identical thread on this subject Matt?
Also - if you think any individual Kenyan woman in the last 30 years is significantly more likely to have been clean than any Czech athlete 50 years ago, you probably don't consider EPO and rat poison to be peds (because they don't give you 3D shoulders).
Kratchilova always maintained her innocence, btw.
It's possible that she was a Semenya type intersex athlete and perhaps her coach was giving her some testosterone top ups without her knowing.
Jarmilla is a good runner she's just not 1:53 quality. She's 1:58 to 1:59 naturally. Still a good runner. But just not 1:53. Overall a really great effort from her. She gets an A for effort.

The 400 and 800 are muscle destroying events. Meaning the lactic acid destroys the muscle from the inside out due to the lactic acid accumulation effect and the body adapting.
You don't maintain this amount of muscle while running the 400 and 800.
I still think she could have broke 2 naturally. But not by much.. She's a 1:58 to 1:59 runner naturally. Still a great runner.
