Grijalva is highly suspicious. He was never dubbing in college, routinely beat by the same top runners. Now all of a sudden they're gone and he's on a podium level globally? Don't buy it one second. Where he's from in Central America they toss around drugs like candy every damn day while the child slave laborers work around the clock making Nike shoes.
Control your racism Steve. Everyone will ignore your rants even more than usual.
Never subbing in college? He is pretty well known if you are on any threads outside of "everyone is doing". He's been a fairly good athlete since high school and now that he can absolutely focus on training it's all coming together.
You want a number of American shootings? Or some Moroccan or Spanish statistic? Catalan wants to leave Spain that how much they hate the country you train in. Morocco has had a 55% increase in the homicide rates over the last year. Please be careful when you are at home Mo. I would hate for your career to be cut short so tragically.
Born April 10, 1999. At 18, he ran 8:46 for two miles, among the best American high schoolers. In 2021, he ran 3:35 for 1500m. In Tokyo in 2021, he ran 13:10 in a sit and kick affair, proving he was already probably in low 12:50s shape.

There were years there where he was hardly even able to compete on the European circuit because he is a dreamer, brought by his parents to the country very early in his life, and so he was unable to leave the country without being barred to come back in without special permission. That made it impossible for him to go to Europe to chase times for quite a while. He's a product of Mike Smith's NAU program and trains in Flagstaff along with Woody Kincaid (12:51), Abdihamed Nur (13:02), and Nico Young (12:57), among others.
Born February 17, 1998, a year earlier than Luis. At 17, he ran 8:48 for 3k, which wouldn't put him anywhere near our national high school leaders, so he didn't show special talent at the 3k early on, this future mid 7:20s indoor 3k runner. At 19, in 2017, he ran a 3:52.79 1500m, about a 4:10-4:11 mile. That would put him about 50th-100th in the states for high school, but he was nineteen, and it would make him just a good Division III runner for college at that age. Two years later, at 21, in 2019, the future 3:28 1500m runner was running 1:51.84 for 800m in Spain, which is about 3:28 pace. You would not expect a 1:51 guy at that age to run 3:28 two years later. At 22 years old, he was down to 3:36.59 in 2020. That is an unexpected drop, for sure, sixteen seconds in the 1500m from age 19, basically moving from a D3 level to among the best D1 runners nowadays, but still, that can happen. Then from 22 to 23, he drops eight seconds at 1500m after plateauing the previous year to among the best in world history. That is our problem, the reason that we all expected him to test positive. He basically plateaued at the level in the 1500m but continued to drop time at 3k/5k. In the 5000m, he ran 13:50 in 2018, then one minute faster, 12:50 three years later. Two years after that, he's better, five seconds faster, but he basically plateaued in 2021-2023 after a stratospheric improvement from 2020 to 2021. So, no surprise he was doping. He never showed global level talent until 2021. Prior to that, he was a good college level runner at best. The only surprise may have been that they caught him before he was retired.

Crying "racism" because your feelings can't handle facts automatically equates you to a lower tier of society. Either do better or know your role and shut your mouth.
I took it easy on you, considering your libel is highly disturbing and you should be held at least a tiny bit accountable for once. Unfortunately, the putrid left encourages this low IQ behavior.
