Not arguing for or against the "EPO theory" however I'm not sure of some of
the facts used in the argument.
<What was it that let Kipkoech run faster in
his 2nd 5k (in Rome) than he could run in the Helsinki and LA 5k's?>
Didn't Kipkoech run 13:14 in LA?
<What was it that let heretofore UNKNOWN Ngugi surge a 58 lap in 1988?
Warning: I
am seeing another correlation here. >
Ngugi was not an unknown in '88. He may not have been expected to win but he
certainly was a known commodity He tried the same surge in '87 but couldn't
hold it. I can't remember the years he won his World XC titles but I think
he had already won one or two before the '88 Olympics.
