Improving 5 minutes in 2 years isn’t a big improvement. It’s a BIG RED FLAG!!

[luffyluck]

I guess her blood tests weren't emmaculate...

[patrick]

She must be thinking how did I get caught and not the winner. Have to tighten up that doping regimen 😂

[vomaxandsuch]

Missed opportunity to put that "Houston, " at the beginning of the title

[thenayancat]

Shocked, absolutely SHOCKED that the record we all knew was doped is in fact doped

[bigjohn]

Ugali fortified with EPO and testosterone is the breakfast of champions.

I feel so bad for the elite runners who have integrity.

I can attest that especially in track and field, more than in team sports, narcissism is over the top the most motivating factor for all of the top athletes. But sometimes they don't even realize it until someone approaches them and offers them a drug to boost their performance then the ego takes full control and they can't stop. I'm so glad I dropped out at 22 to focus on other, more important things. Humility can take a person way further in life than the "me, me, me and more me" attitude. Run for health, not for time.

"Is just unbelievable"
Exactly!

This is interesting. In cycling there has been a massive increase in race speeds the past few years which has been attributed, for example, to nutrition, as if riders didn't eat on rides previously. It's true that there's been more emphasis on increaseing carbohydrate intake on rides and for example maximizing intake via an optimal glucose/fructose ratio, and additionally on more optimized use of altitude and/or heat training. But nevertheless the changes in performance have been dramatic. Despite this, and despite a troubled history, there have been very few doping positives in cycling the past five years or so. It's interesting running and cycling would be relatively divergent on doping trends.

Just hope they stay vigilant at testing and going after the athletes that are cheating. Drugs are rampant in the sport.

[peterkooreman]

I"m sick of it! If proven, I support a 10 year ban for the first offense! This would be foremost in the athlete's thinking.

[roberthammond]

That is absolutely NOT surprising to me. I would certainly believe that many more are doing the same thing and will never be caught.

[judsdragon]

takes her 3 yrs from 2019 to 2022 to knock off 0.61s and yet the following year she knocks off 3 minutes 49s and then another 1 minute and 4s yeah i think its pretty obvious when she started doping, if it was a steady progression of 1/2s here and there each year that would be doable, hard but not unheard of but those numbers dont lie

[buffalosoldier]

Of the 15 names listed at the 2:56 mark, 5 are from Kenya…

[ElaineVermeulen-sx]

The 10km road wr holder should be tested too

[samelgore]

They need to stop treating dopers as cheaters but as Thieves stealing from more deserving athletes. They should be arrested and dealt with in criminal courts. Considering prize money they should face felony charges for grand theft. This should apply to all sports.

[derekpugh]

And this is why I prefer to watch YouTube runners who are amateurs …..not as fast but more relatable

[Normandy]

Nothing like putting up a red flag with a 5-minute improvement.... where's Waldo, errr...where's the PED runner.

[verstappen]

Dubious records need to be struck off. The woman’s 100m, women’s 400m and woman’s 800m all need to be struck off. Also arguably the women’s 200m record too.
