He beat them all in this race. Shame Ovett was not fully fit and Cram too though I dare say if Coe was not in the race Cram would have won and Ovett would have madeit to the podium. He beat them both 500m out. Scott's tactics were poor uncharacteristly so

There is no scandle here. Coe, the greatest 800m of all time, beats in my opinion the greatest miler of all time. Fabulous race.

This isn't the behaviour of someone using drugs, especially someone with political aspirations. Any immoral misdemeanors during his athletic career would have been discovered and divulged by the UK press.

@dan32113 The IOC and IAAF banned blood doping (NOT EPO, as it wasn't used as a synthetic hormone at this point) at the insistence and recommendations of the Coe/Moynihan report of 1985. Coe was one of just 2 athletes (the other was Ed Moses) who was calling for life bans for drug users from 1981. This wasn't a passing comment to a newspaper, but an official speech to the IOC Congress at Baden Baden.

@dan32113 You've just changed the whole argument of what you were earlier saying. There might have been blood doping in the late 70's/early 80's, but it's only been proven to be used by 5k + runners from Finland and Italy. What makes you say Coe did it? Complete speculation. Without specific evidence then you can equally say all runners were blood doping. Coe ran his fastest 1500 in 86 after blood doping was banned, and long before EPO was used in sport, contrary to what you've been saying.

@deano27671 rubbish, there was blood doping during Coe"s peak years! The IOC banned blood doping in 1986 which is after his best years!

@dan32113 Read what it says about Erythropoietin on Wiki. The human hormone was only isolated in 1985 and a synthetic version was approved in the US in 1989. The use of it in athletics was not until the 90's, by which time Coe had retired.

@Philcher69 the Italians were behind alot of the EPO advancement in early 1980"s. Google Francesco Conconi
Yes. 58.9, 58.9 (1:56.9), 56.4 (2:53.3), 39.2.
His last 800m was 1:49.8, last 400m in 53.2, last 200m was 25.7 and last 100m was 12.7.
