larkim 12 Jan 12:46pm, 12 Jan 2020 9969 posts	larkim Shame that every performance has to be greeted with either "cheat because of shoes" or "cheat because he didn't use the shoes"!!

FreshStart 12 Jan 1:17pm, 12 Jan 2020 3780 posts	FreshStart I was thinking more of a drugs cheat.
HappyTimes 12 Jan 1:19pm, 12 Jan 2020 2570 posts	HappyTimes Larkim I agree it is a shame, however this is where we are due to the shame a number of coaches and athletes have brought to the sport. The new cycling is athletics where like it or not the levels of drugs/substance abuse leaves us reasonably having to have at very least a question mark over any such performances.
HappyTimes 12 Jan 1:23pm, 12 Jan 2020 2571 posts	HappyTimes Great run (again) by Callum Hawkins. While it's great to see and is often held up as how amazing Scottish Athletics is just now maybe we would do well to look deeper. One family 36 YEARS later breaking previous record. Well done team Hawkins.
