Was reading about that Irish lad Lombard who was caught using EPO, he reckons he only took it to " Put him on a level playing field with other athletes ".
Dickhead, no excuse. Anyway His best time for the 5000m before last season was 14m 23s, by june '03 he knocked 40 seconds off that. Then by August he'd lopped off another 20 seconds then he smashed the 10,000m Irish record by finishing 23 seconds inside his personal best. Forgive me for sounding ignorant but should someone not have noticed this?? All of a sudden an average long distance runner gets up to the Olympic "A" Grade, all in the space of a season!! Someone could of saved the Irish Olympic squad a lot of heart-ache by flagging this sooner.
