Thanks for all of the great comments and thoughts. Many people love the sport, but @aiu_athletics and @worldathletics still have a long way to go to earn sports fans' trust. Also, I would be remiss if I did not say the following: several have pointed out the hypocrisy, going after African athletes and not saying anything about athletes from the US, Europe, and Asia.
I was also called out for not questioning @paulajradcliffe. Record breakers have always shocked the world with their performances. We just need clean performances, and is that possible?
Truth is, in marathons, most winners in elite races are Kenyans and Ethiopians. Can testing be done in a way that you, as a sports fan, can trust the system?
One wonders what the Women's marathon record truly is! Look at how many women have been busted who ran 2:16 or under! I believe it is 2:12-2:14. Truth is, AIU is busting more cheaters, especially in Kenya. I suspect that testing needs to pick up in Ethiopia. It is obviously not the shoes that make a difference, but EPO, which still seems to be the drug of choice. In 2014, I broke the news about #RitaJeptoo, who was about to take a big check from #WorldMarathonMajors. Until the punishments are so draconian (all money returned to sponsors and races) and the shame of being named a cheater, we will continue to see these posts nearly every day. @aiu_athletics is doing a better job, but big-time cheaters persist? Where do you think the women's world record for the marathon is, and by that I mean non-dopers? Do we go back to Paula Radcliffe's WR and start all over? This takes away legitimacy from women's elite marathoning. It damages the sport and terrifies sponsors. What do you think?
Dear sports fans! Thanks for all of your comments. What do you think non doped WR for women’s marathon is?

Sorry Mamello, what is WR for women’s marathon in your opinion? I pulled Paula out, as a long lasting record, if not there, where should it be?
RunBlogRun retweeted
Oh Ralph, you pick who the record should be? Is is 2:16, 2:17. 2:11 or 2:12? I can make a strong argument for Tigist Assefa to hold WR! What do you think?
RunBlogRun retweeted
What do you all think of male pacers in marathons for elite woman?
It would be less positives if @WorldAthletics ban the use of male pacers in women marathon races
RunBlogRun retweeted
Casey, read my note, I asked where we should restart? Do we go back to 2:16? Many agree with you! Where is the non coping women’s record for the marathon?
RunBlogRun retweeted
I completely concur! I reported what my contacts noted. I think that distrust in system is indicative of the issue. If I recall, many went after Paula when she ran. I believed that Tigist Assefa could run 2:11, which is equivalent of men’s 2:01. I am not ready to believe a sub 2:10 can be run by a women without doping, at this time.

Oh Dick. Just because you can be sphincter muscle on social media, doesn’t mean you should! I put this up for discussion, if you can’t handle this, put on your big boys pants and stop following me. Most of my followers know that we can and do disagree but do not have to resort to name calling. I think you have a point, is there any performance you believe? Stop the insults and have a discussion, otherwise, just go away.
