The Kenyans would never dope because they are culturally so afraid of needles that they often refuse important medical attention.
Samuel Wanjiru was murdered and it was covered up by first responders.
Galen Rupp is a brainwashed science experiment who last had an independent thought in the 1990s.
Beijing Olympic Track was short 4m per lap
Ryan Halls low testosterone and chronic fatigue was a result of him screwing up his bodies homeostasis with years of doping.
Burn bright, but quickly.

I should add, this conspiracy can be applied to alot of athletes who burned out. Not just Ryan hall.

Not a conspiracy. They straight up CHEATED!!!

The one I can think of, is that Gabe Grunewald was dq’ed due to Salazar making some sort of threat to USATF, perhaps on behalf of Nike. Are there other ‘conspiracy theories’ of the sport?
I’ve know Dennis (Gabe’s coach) for a while and ran with Gabe a few times. 10-15 years ago Dennis used to get calls all the time from Alberto, and he’d always kind of roll his eyes and say ‘Alberto’s calling again,’ pre-Galen so he wasn’t as big of a deal. Anyway, Gabe said Jordan Hasay apologized to her and at least said she had no idea that Alberto was doing and withdrew them appeal when she learned the situation.
Long story short, Gabe was super nice genuine person, I gained a ton of respect for Jordan Hasay, and Alberto is an awful person.
Presumably, you are talking about her indoor 3k win. If you watch that race she should have been dq’d. She ran up on two different runners, tripping one( Jordan Hasay I think) I watched it live and have rewatched it with the same reaction. You would have to be running with eyes closed to run up behind athletes that closely with no other runners around. I’m not sure what was going through her head in the last lap or so.
Gabe Grunewald has gained a big following and I’m sure she was a great person admins she had a large impact on many that knew her. My wife followed her on Instagram and Twitter very closely. But that win wasn’t really one of her best moments.

I just rewatched it. With one lap to go, Jordan suddenly hit the wall. Gabe was running behind her, and when Jordan slowed there was some heel clipping. It didn’t affect the outcome of the race. Jordan was clearly spent. The contact wasn’t even serious, both of their strides were thrown off for a fraction of a second and then Gabe carried on to win and Jordan carried on through a rough lap.
Most of these are jokes but I have heard many people say that BU is a meter short.
Roger Bannister did not break the four minute mile barrier. No one ever has.
Special relativity tells us that as an object approaches lightspeed, time moves more slowly from the perspective of that object. This is illustrated by a classic experiment known as The Twin Paradox. One twin remains on Earth while the other boards a space ship. (Scientists used to make the mother chose which twin went to space but this is now considered unethical. Instead they flip a coin). The ship travels at nearly the speed of light to the center of our galaxy, where the twin exchanges tokens with Jesus to prove that they made it all the way there. The ship then returns to Earth. The Space Twin has experienced only a few hours passing while the Earth Twin has, counterintuitively, developed Space Madness and does not remember the experiment.
We see this effect in track and field most clearly in elite milers. In fact, Sir Roger was among the first to document it. A rigorous note-taker, he realized that stationary observers always recorded splits slower than those displayed en-route by his own wristwatch (or velocipede, as the Brits say).
Upon proving the phenomenon by controlling for different watch types and the drunkenness of the era's timekeepers, Bannister was heartbroken. He was forced to withdraw his self-timed claim to a 3:39.4 mile and set about accomplishing four minutes "the hard way." Little did he know that he had uncovered only half the truth.
Fast forward to 2019. A wiley old coach stands across the street from a track in Portland. He's doing disguises now. No one sees the stopwatch concealed inside a pack of cigarettes. He'd hoped to catch the workout and find proof that his ex-pupil, let's call him Catthew Mentrowitz, was slower now with his new coach. But this was too good. Mentro was repping 400s in nearly 70 seconds and looking winded. Garbage, thought the old man. Good. His radio crackled with an update from his spy in the infield, wedged inside the pole vault mats since before dawn. 57s? That can't be right.
By fall 2019, his tests were complete and conclusive: time moves slower in the infield. You have to be outside the oval to measure accurately. All the offical records were drastically too fast. It was a bombshell that would upend the sport. That's why Lord Coe had sent the goons. That's why they had burned his office and banned him for four years.
He had always pushed the envelope and he finally pushed it too far. He had found the truth, but no one would believe him now. No one would believe the real mile world record:
4:20.69

That’s the best one.
I think they started at the wrong line for every race.
The 10,000 had consecutive 1000m splits that were 15s + faster than average followed by a slower but still quick final 1000.
As if they were 900m splits mixed in.
And the final 3000 of that race was faster than the open 3000 world record.
They started at the 200m start and ran 24.5 laps.
5 women then broke the open 3000m record.
They started at the steeple start of an outside water jump, so following lane one would be a shorter distance.
In the 1500 they started at the break line, ahead of the real start line.
That explains going out in 57 for a short first lap and then averaging 62/63 the rest of the way to run 3:50.
Makes sense, right?
No one really pays much attention to where a distance starts.
There are no complete videos of any of these races- all world records.
Including the 3k semi, Wang beat 4 distance world records in one week.
Come on, man!
Nothing that complex. They were men. They took reasonably good male distance runners and turned them into really fast "female" distance runners.
Carbon plated shoes help produce faster times.
There were PEDS painted into the lines of the 100m start at the London Olympics.
That there is a clean world record.
Allegedly I saw Rupp at a grocery store in Portland last week. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen clif bars in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Salazar, Athletics West, and a doping cover up.
Also that at the LA Olympics numerous top athletes tested positive for PEDs and the doping was covered up out of fear of damage to the sport.
