Everyone was convinced 2:14 was a doped record, and now we've had a breakout jump up to 2:11? Anyone with the slightest sense knows what's happening here - I'll turn on tweet notifications for the AIU's account and then forget this result happened
I dont take her run seriously.Its just too hilarious for that.
Only American can not cheat. Let’s face reality American men marathoners can be considered semipro even elite women can beat them. The only reason she didn’t beat Ward is because she was politely sticking with her pacer. Incredible performance.
Whether she’s doping or not, it’s still an incredible time. Given that she has destroyed known dopers. Credit where credit is due no way you can do that without a lot of hard work.
Even doped (presumably)- this is a crazy impressive run. If she would have shaved off just 15 seconds or so from the record, she likely doesn't get busted.
Methinks even WADA and the AIU can't sweep this one under the rug. She ran too fast

The credit is doping. It always is now, in this sport.
This record makes Kratochvilova's and Koch's records look feeble. They couldn't get near the men's world records of any era. But Assefa is now faster than Abebe Bikila.

Another laughably obviois East African doping fraud. And of course their dumb fans are on here with their sham celebrations.
We know full well there are Americans out there doping and call them out when we find them... though I don't see many other country's calling out their own for doping..hmm
Asseffa would have finished 2nd in the women's NCAA 5k final. Just astonishing. If you are an American female, just forget about running as a professional. The east Africans are on a completely different level.
