We changed the title of this thread. It initially was entirled, "Jonathan J. Marcus, What is your LetsRun Username? J. Marcus accuses Yared Nuguse of Doping Based on....." We removed the first half as we didn't think it was really relevent to the discussion at hand.
Seriously what does JMar and Magness do for money??? They're not coaching, their podcast sure as he'll doesn't make money... how do these guys make a living?
More important -- who is JMar and what exactly are his credentials?
"Why isn't this athlete running is the most efficient manner possible while accelerating on a banked track in the last 200m of a race? Hmm must be full throttle doping."
Dude really thinks he can do expert level form analysis with NBC's 30fps footage of Milrose then also make doping accusation's off of that flawed analysis.

The photo of yared's stride is clearly from late in the race, a time when producing speed is more important that efficiency. So why is Marcus talking about efficiency? That's like saying Bekele's form is more efficient when he runs 30 then when he runs 24 for 200. Of course it is, but that's not the point.
Marcus also talks about how Yared is producing force rather than "transporting" it. No s*** he's producing force, it's called accelerating.
I do think Dathan has his team on all the grey area stuff that Alberto used but nobody on OAC is full on doping.
Im pretty sure everyone who trained under alberto was on EPO and other drugs,not just grey area.The full on doping has been swept under a rug,to save embarresment,but it went on.
You've given us nothing more than that you are "pretty sure" about cheating, not even how you came to be "pretty sure." That's impressively bad of you.
Yared has wanted to be a dentist since HS. It’s his dream to follow without judgement. As far as doping, Yared is the most humble high level runner around. He has always and will always be squeaky clean. Preposterous to think otherwise and speaks volumes more about the accuser. Yared didn’t start running until HS, and was literally pulled from gym class to tryout. He has less years under his belt than most of his competitors. If you look at where he is now running, the altitude and full time training is clearly his only boost. He is still a newbie and it will be exciting to watch him continue to reach new heights.
