What is a tea club?

Is darbopoetin considered EPO?

How dare the OP. I have never failed a drug test.

Neither did Marion or Stephanie Graf or FloJo or Lasse Viren.

What is Wejo on? He's on his feet, busting his ass, 100mpw. What are you on?

It's about as ironic as Kenyans, Ethiopians, and Moroccans running ridiculous times and completely dominating the sport as soon as EPO became available.

Now, what you are suggesting has already been done.

Cathal Lombard in Ireland. He improved by 3' his 10K P.B, And became elite. He later tested positive for EPO.

Ha, love it. It’s like no one can change things for big gains after the age of 25 on these boards. Surprised anyone bothers when they hit 26. I ran 2.28 at 39 after not breaking 2.35 in my 30’s. Guess what, I have never met Al Sal, I have never had my sessions timed by Jama Aden and have not been treated with crushed beetles by Dr healing hands.

Hasn't Viren been interviewed several times over the years about the "alleged blood transfusions" and he's always denied it stating that he drank raindeer milk as his power potion? (I think Aragon has posted his thoughts on Viren pretty much believing that he didn't use transfusions?).

You mentioned the Austrian speedster Stephanie Graf. Funny story and another one of those classic excuses. Vienna was a running a Humanplasma lab that was being used by several coaches to help around 30 athletes with blood doping. Graf has admitted providing blood at the lab but denies it was ever re-injected. She's pulling the ole blood donor routine. ?

You forgot the 'cough medicine'.

It's a brilliant parody.

I'll be interested to see what Coevett, M!ndweak, rekrunner, etc have to say.

Why was my post deleted, in which I asked whether or not Wejo is American born? I know that he's American, but how can we discuss Wejo's possible link to doping without knowing whether or not he is American born?????

i like this thread. wejo keepin it real wrote:

Sounds like Billy's response "but I didn't inhale."

Tell us, was Wejo frequenting the Flagstaff pharmacy?

I don't think I ever went to a Flagstaff pharmacy. Seriously.

But a Kenyan American Patrick Kiptum did move in with me one summer and always wanted to have "tea". Ha ha. I thought it was only 100% whole milk and a but load of sugar that he was putting in it.

I was debating if I'm running 10mpw now despite running 7 days some weeks. I've got my loop for my dogs in Riverside park in NYC and I think it's way shorter than I thought. I don't wear a watch. But I can go outthe door and be back in 20 minutes and some of that is unleashing them etc.

But I got inspired by Millrose to run in Central Park twice this week. Probably doubled my mileage already.

I restored the 2 posts below.

Yes one of our mods admitted to doping. We have said we don't want posters to sidetrack discussions by just pointing this out when they are upset by some moderating decision. There is no point to constantly discuss malmo's use of performance enhancers, but in this thread it doesn't need to be removed.

My parents tell me I was born in Dallas, Tx. But President Trump hasn't found my birth certificate. I swear at some point my dad was contemplating a job in Iran and/or somewhere in South America. Maybe it was Venezuela. Maybe I was born in one of these places. What does that say about me? ;) Someone get to the bottom of this.

Did Patrick Kiptum run at Oklahoma State?

What a lame humble brag. Your 228 is 10 minutes off of being sub elite even, and therefore would generally think it is a mark attainable by someone that takes their training seriously.

When you get to a 28 flat 10k, I think you can consider whether drugs were used, but it is still generally considered possible considering guys were doing in in the 60s and 70s, long before EPO.

That said, I don't think Wejo doped for the simple fact that his marathons were terrible. I think had he been doping then he should have been scaring 210.

It's hilarious how some people are taking troll thread seriously.

I didn't have time to go deeper into this in the OP but beyond your late career rise and suspicious timing of your fall, you and your brother have many suspicious acquaintances who have suspicious ties. Could you explain your relationship these two runners and their ties to Dr Healing Hans?

This is the one the one that piqued my interest the most.

Were you using tiger blood?

This thread is giving me a headache ....

Both Coe and Ovett loaded up on their own RBCs mate... double irony.
