World Championship Athletics

I wouldn't be putting my house on any record being truly legal in athletics in the last 30 years to be frankly honest.

Fraser with an amazing start in the 100m gives her the gold and the fastest legal time in history.  Very impressive.

FYP

flo jo was legal, the wind thing only counts if it's a couple of one hundreths imo, when you smash the record by 1/2 a second then the wind cant inpact that much plus i dont think she was ever convicted of drugs?

No Fkin way legal, just never got caught. The fact she died very young would be a strong hint as well.

no it isnt she had a fit and suffocated in bed, it was a condition she was born with.

just never got caught

you mustve seen her do it then

If i had to go either way on a evens bet, I would say he is legal but i wouldn't take 1/10 on.

I have they can't say for sure

I have they can't say for sure

yeah but theyre professional doctors,, wtf do we know to be saying different when it comes to her reputation, you can just go by what the experts say and even if it's not conclusive it's a lot better a  "guess" than you or i can come up with so i'll just go with what they said

similar circumstances to a number of eastern block athletes in the 70/80's

Really?

None of Paula's records?  What about Bekele, Gebrselassie, Aouita, El Guerrouj, Ovett, Cram, Coe?

If he did stick his house on Ratcliff, can he have your house if he's wrong?

If I had a house, he'd be welcome to it if I was wrong.  There isn't a cleaner athlete (awaits the jokes).

[kinboshi]

Going back to the 10K.  Bekele ran the 10,000m in a little over 26 minutes.  That works out at 16 seconds on average for each of the one hundred 100m he runs during the race.  That's incredible.

Flo-Jo improved her 100m time by half a second in a year, then retired just before the IAAF introduced mandatory drug-testing, that was why she never failed a test.

[AndrewT]

Going back to the 10K.  Bekele ran the 10,000m in a little over 26 minutes.  That works out at 16 seconds on average for each of the one hundred 100m he runs during the race.  That's incredible.

Also, he ran the second 5k of his 10k quicker than any British runner has run 5k on its own.
