gh is right. On a straight conversion, you are about 5 seconds off with a 7:31.86. Using Jonas' conversion tables, the time is closer to 7:29.15, which I assume is what [EMAIL PROTECTED] was trying to do, and that is about 3 seconds off. Regards, Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message

Nope. As I said before, the UK press has been the toughest on Jones et al. We regard all the nandrolone cases as exceptional and we concluded a doping offense hadn't been committed, said UK Athletics' performance director Max Jones. We don't regard Linford Christie as a drugs cheat. LOL.
