    I don't think that's quite as comprehensive a list when we now the likes of Laura Muir has worked with members of Salazar's team at NOP.

    a break before the Carnage

    Bubbie is a massive pussy so deleted it but Hassan is a complete doper. It’s a joke. Mods are pathetic for protecting it. Congrats.

    maybe take it to the Salazar thread.

    Is there a running total anywhere of the PB and WRs at Doha published anywhere ?


    Seems to be a lot of fast times.

    Yeah it could well be carnage....
    Buy part of me thinks it not bad a thing. We are used of the marathon run is more "ideal conditions " were the guys for 10th back to last have no chance of getting near a medal.. this is about race condition management as well... so people who have prepared well might, just might have some chance of getting a madal..

    Two not alleged, one in fact banned twice for it and the other banned once.

    Another missing several tests, just like Farah.

    Yeah that’s the point I was making.

    Michael Rodgers tested positive in 2011. How long would you expect him to be banned?

    Christian Coleman hasn't committed a doping violation.

    Life! That might, only might, make them think twice. Fact is they don't expect to be caught. As for Coleman....all of us have phones, diaries etc. I'm sure he has a PA amongst his entourage. If I missed 3 appointments be they work, dentist, doctor or drug tester in a year I'd be thinking I had Alzheimer's!

    Life? For a stimulant that's only banned in competition? What stupidity is this?

    P.S. Coleman hasn't missed 3 tests. Why do people keep saying this?

    I don't think I said he missed 3 tests?

    Yes if they really want to clean up this mess they need a zero tolerance policy. No more 'I just took what the doctor told me' or 'it was in my supplement and I didn't know', we don't have a record of what's in the Jiffy bags etc.

    If you had any regard or understanding what so ever for athletics you wouldn’t want ANY kind of drug cheats to ever get back into competition. Coleman has missed 3 tests, regardless of how much Head & Shoulders he had in his ear.

    Only a matter of time before he crashes and burns I'm afraid.. pb of 2.10 and he's gone out at 2.07 pace


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,733 ✭✭✭Ceepo


    Is there anyone not wearing 4% or next %

    the paraguayan is wearing something else altogether . 2.06 pace at 5k


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭Tipptatlers


    Any sign of Scullion? Saw him in the main group at the km Mark. No sign of him in the top 50 at the 5k split

    about 15s out the back , either fooked at the start or just making sure he finishes

    He's at the very back, last I saw of him he was running on his own.

    Looks like the 4% to me, But I am watching it in the phone


  • Registered Users Posts: 366 ✭✭AhhHere


    Loving watching Ayala. Breaks ahead early, seems to bless himself every 12 steps and isn't running the most direct line. Can he keep it up?

    The swedish chaser in 2nd looks uncomfortable from the start. Keeps readjusting his shorts.

    Scullion looks to be working towards getting his time/points. Running his own race. Smart move IMO. Stick to your plan

    Did you read the link posted in the dedicated thread? If you did then you know he didn't miss 3 tests. If you didn't then read it. He didn't get off on a technicality. The case was dropped, because there was no case to answer.

    So who has no regard or understanding of athletics?

    How is Rodgers a cheat? He can legally take the substance he tested positive for in training. It is only banned in competition.

    Like it or not, there must be a set of rules to play by. The rules must be adhered to, not only by competitors, but also by officials and organisations.

    The ignorance of the rules displayed by supposed athletics fans in this thread is breathtaking.

    Cant tell model but at start line. Half were wearing the same colour yellow shoe. The rest in pink. Imagine nike vaporflys alright.

    Race live on YouTube too for anyone wondering.

    Abraham from Switzerland wearing some kind of icepack headband, replacing with fresh one each lap. He's keeping a cool head. ;-)

    Ayala is aiming to do a Sammy Wanjiru.
    At this rate he's at risk of joining Sammy quite soon.

    Good god, bury your head in the sand a bit more you might reach the same level of ignorance as another so called learned poster on this forum.



    Not arguing with another person who has zero grasp of whats going on in the world of athletics, ignorance is bliss for so many part time posters on this forum:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:.
