Re: Re: t-and-f: MJ's splits in his 43.18 WR (was Negative splits in 440)

2004-03-24 Thread malmo
If you subtract out the start (at least 0.50 to 0.75, maybe as much as 1.20 based on 
the 50m splits), then the second half arguably *was* run faster. 

Are you sure you didn't mean to say something else?

No matter how you slice it, after the first 50m each subsequent 50m split is slower 
than the previous one.

50m 100m 200m
6.14
4.96 (11.10) 11.10
5.00 (16.10)
5.12 (21.22) 10.12 21.22
5.20 (26.42)
5.24 (31.66) 10.44
5.52 (37.18)
6.00 (43.18) 11.52 21.96

 If you subtract out the start (at least 0.50 to 0.75, maybe as much as
 1.20 based on the 50m splits), then the second half arguably *was* run
 faster.  In any sprint event, the start becomes a major factor when
 determining average speed.  Not nearly as significant in events not run
 out of blocks.

Lovely.  Long after the topic quitely slipped into oblivion, an
anonymous poster chastising me for speaking of LSU's well known
reputation, when in fact the point of my post run4t5 is objecting to was
to not throw stones when your house is made of at least as much glass...
I wasn't the one throwing stones (must be a case of Malmo's interpretive
dimentia), rather defending those having stones thrown at them by media
hounds.

It is easy to point and shoot.

Said by the anonymous poster.  Uh-huh.

Most Universities have an appeals process which athletes can invoke when

scholarships are withdrawn unilaterally.  I believe the NCAA requires
the 
schools to have such a process and it is to be conducted by personnel
not 
connected with the athletic department.  Anyone else?

Floyd Highfill
New Mexico State University

Quoting Roger Ruth [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 I've just heard of an instance of a U.S. collegiate vaulter whose 
 athletics scholarship has been withdrawn because injuries sustained in

 practice and competition prevent her from vaulting.
 
 Obviously, this is a pretty sleazy move on the part of her coach and 
 university, but I'm wondering how usual it is for this to happen.
 
 Does anyone know of other examples?
 
 Cheers? I think not. :-(

Most Universities have an appeals process which athletes can invoke when

scholarships are withdrawn unilaterally.  I believe the NCAA requires
the 
schools to have such a process and it is to be conducted by personnel
not 
connected with the athletic department.  Anyone else?

Quoting Roger Ruth [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 I've just heard of an instance of a U.S. collegiate vaulter whose 
 athletics scholarship has been withdrawn because injuries sustained in

 practice and competition prevent her from vaulting.
 
 Obviously, this is a pretty sleazy move on the part of her coach and 
 university, but I'm wondering how usual it is for this to happen.
 
 Does anyone know of other examples?
 
 Cheers? I think not. :-(

Wrong Dan, you have to have the talent for sprinting to make it to the
top, and the talent for distance running to make it to the top. No
amount of work will compensate for lack of either.

Sprinters improve just as much to training for sprinting as distance
runners do to training for distance running.

Only one problem - turkey has no more tryptophan than any other protein
(less than chicken in fact). And to induce sleepiness from tryptophan
(actually it wouldn't be the tryptophan, tryptophan is a precursor to
serotonin which helps sound sleep, doesn't cause sleep) you'd have to
eat a whole turkey on an empty stomach. Your sleepiness is caused by the
ALKALINE TIDE--from over-eating, especially carbohydrates, and the
body's response by releasing bicarbonate into the bloodstream causing
the blood pH to rise slightly.

By Associated Press
November 15, 2003

LONDON - Baseball's policy on steroids is a complete joke and an
insult to the fight against performance-enhancing drugs, the head of
the World Anti-Doping Agency said Friday.

WADA chairman Dick Pound criticized the testing system and scale of
penalties for steroid use that will start in baseball next March.

He wasn't the only one who thought baseball's rules aren't tough enough.

A New York-based physician who is a member of WADA, Dr. Gary Wadler,
called Thursday's announcement of baseball's test results probably the
blackest day in the history of sports. Between 5 and 7 percent of
anonymous steroid tests among major leaguers came back positive,
triggering a provision in the sport's labor contract that calls for
testing with penalties starting next year.

A first positive test for steroid use would result in treatment and a
second in a 15-day suspension or fine of up to $10,000.

The punishment would increase to a 25-day suspension or fine of up to
$25,000 for a third positive test, a 50-day suspension or fine of up to
$50,000 for a fourth and a one-year suspension or fine of up to $100,000
for a fifth.

I think it's an insult to the fight against doping in sport, an insult
to the intelligence of the American public and an insult to the game
itself, Pound told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

I think it's a complete and utter joke. You can test positive for
steroids five times, then they think of booting you out for a year? Give
me a break. The first time someone has knowingly cheated and they give
you counseling? It's a complete and utter joke.

Yes, because my argument is about procedure and athlete's rights.  The 
vigilante attitude that athletes are guilty until proven innocent is 
ridiculous.  My comment was made in the obvious context that someone 
proposed that athletes record everything that they've ingested over
their 
entire careers.  There is no provision for human errors in such a 
policy.  To somehow make the anecdotal case of White's applicable to 
absolutely all other cases is ludicrous.  A universally legitimate and 
supportable drug enforcement policy must be able to account for human
foibles.

On a procedural point, the vigilantes wanted to immediately move forward

with penalties WITHOUT any ability of the athlete, White in this case,
to 
have a hearing.  Perhaps White did have a legitimate explanation.  NONE
of 
us had ANY knowledge of whether her explanation was true or not.  The 
vigilantes would just immediately move to the conclusion that she was 
guilty solely because she failed to declare the drug on the
precompetition 
list.

I agree that the Mondafil scandal is now expanding, and we don't yet
even 
understand the full implications of its use.   But the discovery of
wider 
use has come from drug testing, not whether an athlete has declared the 
drug or not.

 the level
where those who use drugs will want a designer steroid.

preserve
 urine and
blood samples for several years, even indefinitely, and to
 periodically
retest these samples as new drugs are discovered.  Medalists 
could
 then be
stripped retroactively for violations out to a 3 to 8 year 
statute of limitations.  The political support for this option 
is probably growing rapidly right now.
   
Retroactive testing could be a huge deterrent for designer 
drugs, particularly since opposing coaches would know exactly 
who to

Even so, the USATF goes out-of-bounds to point out some of the other
ships at sea aren't as rigorous with mandatory safety and other
perfunctory inspections. Wake up Captain! The SS USATF is the biggest
ship in the ocean and it has been violating all manner of International
shipping treaties. It's not about THEM, it's about YOU! Clean up YOUR
ship and YOUR crew.  

Why hasn't Masback been removed from the helm? Would any of you, at your
profession, be retained after years of insolence and insubordination? I
didn't think so - you'd be summarily dismissed. So too should Masback.

I don't share your opinion of Masback, but I do agree that the latest
press release is not really much of a concrete step.  I think the ship
is a lot bigger than just the U.S. and will require international action
to get closer to being on course.  As I said last year, if USATF really
is the problem, the IAAF and IOC need to put up (in terms of penalties)
or shut up.

The record KK came within 20 seconds of wasn't 2 weeks old but 9 years
old. It should also be known that KK isn't off my suspicion list
either.

So now a 9 year old record is considered weak, and it's OK for a debut
mark 
to be near that record?  Rutto's debut was 8 seconds off a 4 year old 
record mark--that doesnt' seem too out of line.  And remember that 
Salazar's debut was momentarily under the old WR, and even with the time

correction was extremely close.

Maybe the toughness of a marathoner needs not to be so much in the sinew
but in the synapses. So if we were to look at the marthoner's brain
would we find it different from the 10km runner's brain, if we find it
at all? But seriously, maybe endorphin production differs. Sometimes I
think long distance runners might not be able to produce enough of the
stuff unless they are running. Maybe 10km runners produce more with
less? When they say it's all in the mind maybe they mean that literally?

 I tend to think you're both right - lighter 10K guys can and do move
 up,
but
 the average numbers will continue to be heavier for the marathoners
because
 on average there is a little more muscle resistance required.

 Now here's an interesting question - at what point between 10K and
marathon
 would the scale start to tip to the heavier (pun not intended!)?  If
 the marathon was on the track, would we not see the difference (I 
 still think we'd see some difference).  If the hour run was contested 
 regularly, would those athletes be lighter than the 10K athletes?  If 
 the 10K on the road
was
 an Olympic event, would those athletes be built more like marathoners
 or
10K

[It was actually a set of interchanges with Dave Johnson following a 
post on T-and-F.  Here's what I've got in my files.  RMc]

The 46-57 period set the stage for the burst in the early 1960s, but I 
think it is more instructive to look at the period from 1959 to 1965 
when Elliot, Clarke (and Ryun) did most of the WR reductions the 1500, 
5k and

10k.  Using that metric and measuring the improvement on a per year 
basis, those records fell at a faster annual rate.  A table showing the

record progressions and the rate per year.  The marks set in 1965-67 
are dramatically faster on an annual rate of improvement than the 
earlier period (and Clarke's is obscured by the stagnation between '56 
and '65 in
the 10k).  What's most interesting is that the 1500 and 10k marks still
would be in the top 20 year list, and the 5k in the top 40 in 2002.  I
don't think you can say the same thing about the pre 1957 records in
1992,
or even 1982.  The mid 1960 records represented a burst in performance
improvement that have not been equaled since on the men's side.   While
Elliot did not improve the records substantially himself, his unique
training approach and racing strategies broke from the 1950's rut and
set
the stage for Ryun and Clarke.

which 
are extremely common over history (e.g., 1924-28, 1942-44, 1955-57, 
1965-67, 1975-78, and yes, 1993-98).  But my premise is that those
bursts 
are built on a build up of talent and various training and racing 
expectations that are let loose by one or a few individuals who coincide

with that period (eg. Nurmi, Haag/Anderson, Zatopek/Kuts/Bannister, 
Clarke/Ryun, Bayi/Walker/Rono, Morcelli/El G/Komen/Gebresellasie).  So
what 
I measured was the rate of improvement from burst to burst, not the rate

within a burst.  This is akin to measuring economic growth.  It's not 
appropriate to measure the average rate from the bottom of a recession
to 
the top of a boom--the proper measurement is taken from the same point
in 
the economic cycle, e.g., the bottom of one recession to the bottom of
the 
next.  That's my approach, which is probably colored by my profession...

Hey, thanks for the speadsheet!

PREFACE: When I use an ellipsis I NEVER use it to omit relevant
information or to distort context.

You said, What's equally striking is that the men's distance marks have
improved dramatically since 1985... Which, is true...

However, I added, Actually, it wasn't until the 1990s that the men's
distance marks made the dramatic gap. Which, of course, is a more
accurate description of the rate of improvement of the men's WRs.

To which you responded with a verbose, deliberately misleading
filibuster, where you shifted your contention a bit to, My point is
that since 1985, the men's records have continued to fall at a
relatively steady rate...

I then, repeated the facts (implying that it hasn't been a relatively
steady rate) and asked you to do your homework first.

You did, and almost as expected, provided a tainted data table, with an
analysis from left field,  The trend analysis reinforces a point I made
earlier--the record burst in the 1960s lead by Ron Clarke and Jim Ryun
shows a greater annual improvement rate than just about any other
period, you said.

Post-modernism at its finest, but sorry, your original post only spoke
of a time-frame ...since 1985 And the improvement since 1985 went like
this:

Dist/Yr  Time Improvement  Impr/Yr

199826:22.8   45.4   7.56   2.9%   0.48

Which clearly illustrates that the men's world records stagnated until
sometime after 1991, where the steepness of improvement was dramatic. At
least a five-fold increase in the yearly rate of change (85-91/92/93),
and up to -- well -- an infinity-fold rate of change.

Attached is the spreadsheet.  You can go to this website and get the WR 
progressions that you want.
http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Arena/3170/index_s.html

I'm not sure what your point is, but what's interesting is that in my 
analysis, the rate of record improvement for men slowed in the 1970s
when 
drug usage was unregulated!  In other words, contrary to the women and
men 
throwers, the availability of drugs appears to either have had little or

even a contrary effect on male distance runners.

If you're point is that the men's records were pretty constant from 1987
to 
1991, that's not unusual. The same thing happened from 1967 to 1972, and

from 1944 to 1954.  Are you asserting that there was widespread use of 
drugs occurring in 1954 and 1972?

But you completely missed the point of my analysis.  The men's marks did

improve relatively steadily through the 1970s and 1980s.  In contrast,
the 
women's mark improvements came to an almost complete halt  after 
1984.  Look at the women's 1500 top ten average at the website you 
referenced, and compare that the men's.  The men's marks have improved
over 
time, while the women's looks like a random walk.   Also, I made my
point 
earlier about the men's throws--again complete stagnation since the mid
1980s.

Again, I ask question:  given the women's distance running is so 
comparatively new, and we are only now reaching the point where young
women 
have been exposed to athletics for their entire life in most developed 
nations, why have the women's marks stagnated for 20 years while the men

have been making progress during that entire period?

I'm forwarding this message for Conway, who for whatever reason cannot
get any of his messages through to the list.  If a list supervisor can
respond to one of us (his email address is below), that would be
appreciated.



When all the mud slinging, suspending, accusations, etc are done my
question is: What is clean? Who defines it? THAT is really the major
issue behind it all.

Why do we test? I have yet to have anyone in the know give me a clear
answer. Is it for the athletes safety? Is it to provide a level playing
field? And if so, why? And who defines level playing field? Based on
what criteria?

I would never take drugs personally, either performance enhancing OR
recreational. But people DO. Performance enhancing AND recreational.
Many of you on this list, as do many IAAF officials and normal human
beings consume alcohol which once upon a time was the center of the
Prohibition movement - which treated consumers of alcohol the same way
users of performance enhanacing drugs are treated today. And arguably
alcohol consumption has and will lead to more deaths than performance
enhancing drug use ever will! There are those that consider the
consumption of alcohol a sin!

Who's rules? Who decides? Are all of you who consume alcohol NOT clean
people?

All successful societies have rules. However, rules need to serve a
purpose. The need to have some reason for existing. From what I've seen
the drug rules have no reason other than to say that some people are
good and others are bad!

You can't legislate morality. Otherwise alcohol use would have been
stopped long ago. As would marijuana use. And many other things.

You can never have a level playing field as some people are more
genetically inclined than others. Some federations have more money.
Somem countries have better development programs. Some better coaching.

So, aside from routinely making the sport look amateurish, poorly run,
corrupt, and drug ridden, why are we testing? We're saving who? Leveling
what? Accomplishing what?

Your extrapolation of the American justice system into the long

Richard, innocent until proven guilty only has meaning in the context
of American criminal law, which doping cases are not. 

Even so, in our criminal courts system, the presumption of innocence is
routinely dismissed for such practical reasons as: 1) probability of
guilt and/or successful prosecution, or risk of flight, 2) severity of
the crime and the potential for immediate risk to society.

While you are running around the playground hollering innocent until

   swimming upstream against the bad publicity of
athletes' problems ranging from
   greedy behavior to criminal behavior to abusive
behavior with
   performance-enhancing or social drugs.

   Bad news travels faster and louder than good news,
he said.

   The foundation he heads has tried to pump up the
volume by staging an annual
   awards ceremony honoring exceptional athletes.

   Winners have been as well-known to Americans as
golfer Tiger Woods, as
   little-known as the French soccer team and Olympic
track star Cathy Freeman of
   Australia, and as obscure as equator circumnavigator
Mike Horn of South Africa.

   The Laureus program draws its name from a universal
sports symbol of triumph,
   the laurel wreath. The Latin word Laureus can be
translated to mean both the
   wreath and its triumphant recipient.

Why not? The answer certainly is not money. Much of it was wasted on
nuisance lawsuits. It would seem that if athletes were being wronged by
the big, bad IAAF then the cause would be there for an advocate of

Sorry Kurt, but that's nonsense.  If the test is to determine the

ensure it is valid across the full range of athletes.  That includes
testing it on women taking birth control pills.  If that was done, then
there's no issue.  Just release the findings and be done with it.  If it

 As things now stand Mary is a convicted doper.
 I don't favor putting Ben Johnson in any sort of Canadian Track Hall

Not the best of examples, seeing as how Ben is a more or less admitted

competed. Anybody else remember this?

But as always, there's two sides to every story...  I basically didn't
know my 800m PR from my Junior year of high school until my Junior year
of college due to two separate timing mishaps.  The first was during an
early season all-comers meet my Senior year of HS.  I felt I ran my best
race by far, but no one got a time on me (back of the pack in a much
faster than expected race).  Several people in the stands thought I
finished in the ballpark of what would have been a big PR...  Frosh year
of college, 1st or 2nd meet, another screw up in the form of a 5 second
timing discrepancy.  Coach had me at about what I felt I ran -- not a PR
-- the official results had me 5 seconds faster.  Injured most of the
track season Sophomore year and didn't do much, then finally ran a time
Junior year that was well clear of any of the previous confusion!
Rather frustrating in hindsight.  I never did take to racing with a
watch, though.

There's David Mack - convicted bank-robber and the leading suspect in
the murder of rapper Biggie Smalls.

Historic indeed.
