The frustration of all those years of hard winter training, gym work, trackwork resulting in only a fourth place at the Olympics behind a couple of runners you were sure had taken drugs would only seem more pointless if another athlete everyone admired as clean now had to have his records reset to zero ........ because no one could tell the cheat records from the clean. And then someone everyone suspected came through and set the new best ........ Oh how we'll cheer, not.
Just as a side issue, they offer big money for breaking a world record at Diamond League meets. All that money that rewards clean performers, as well as dirty, producing something amazing ..... to what will they reduce it when the record has only been around three months ...... and how excited will the crowd be at having seen a best set a couple of months after the record started?
You are as, ritchiebaby says, spot on SCO.
