Phantasy star and co. who have nothing new or creative to say except mongering. xactly what I expected happened. Like I said in my previous post, Dibaba is not invincible. Almaz Ayana proved it. Beat her flat out silly. May be now the Ethiopian athletic federation is vindicated . Three 1500 m runs in humid hot Beijing followed by a 5000 m heat took a lot out of Dibaba. No way could she have beaten Almaz. If she had run 3x1500 followed by a 5000 and then went to break her sister's world record, I would have been suspicious. Remember all her amazing achievements were on excellent conducive conditions and not a lot of heats.
Finally, please read the story of the Chinese runners. The record broken was not by fractions of a second like Dibaba at Monaco by a full two seconds in the case of Wang. The 3000 m record breaker slashed off the previous record by over 16 seconds!! There is an excellent write-up by Chicago Tribune here:

The improvement in times in the 1500 and 3000m by the two Chinese runners Wang and Yunxia is what you call "unbelievable". Wang, at 20 broke the 7 year old record by 42 seconds! Do you know what times are compared the 5 time world champions and double Olympic gold medalist Tirunesh Dibaba is? 29:54 or so and Wang's? 29:31!! Finally, the whole reason for suspicion with Wang and Yunxia was the absence of PROGRESSION! No previous and gradual improvements interspersed with losses just like Genzebe!! Of course, this I am afraid will not convince you. The sad thing is that whether you blame GDibaba or someone else unjustly you are doing as much damage to the clean athletes as the dopers are. Because in your world any improvement always raises suspicion. This is getting tiresome now. It degrades the quality of the forum to see repeated one liners saying the same thing over and over again..
