Chicago has always been about fast times, that's why they have always had pacers. As Carey Pinkowski has said, runners who want a championship style race can go to Boston.

Rojo, how could you possibly compare Rupp to Lance? Armstrong is the poster child for extreme Type A, Alpha Male who would stop at nothing at achieve his goals. Rupp has none of that. I'm convinced that Rupp's deep and seemingly sincere Christian faith and family has prevented him from straight-up doping. Rupp knows he would bring extreme shame on his family in addition to himself, and that would never be acceptable. Rupp is the proverbial choir boy of elite running.
You are right, comparing Rupp to Armstrong is ludicrous, apart from the Nike sponsorship, they have very little in common. Completely different personalities. Rupp is much more in the Floyd Landis mold, deeply Christian upbringing, soft-spoken, humble, doped.
Mo Won. Gaylen cried/
Galen got trounced. All hail MO>
MO won.
Mo is the reigning Chicago champion. He’s the champ. Long live the champ.
