Unlike modern day athletes who are drug addicts Sebastian Coe was as clean as a whistle. Just look at his build - he does not have gigantic arms and muscular legs that are built on harmones and drugs.
Simple training and discipline is what makes a real champion.
Coe is truly one of a kind, a humble champion.

I don't much like the skin colour debate, it sucks.Colour makes no difference, except perhaps mentally.If you start believing you can't achieve, then you can't.
Fact is; Seb Coe ran the 800m in 1:41.73. He trained mainly in the UK, and used the facilities available in 1981. That time is hardly ever beaten, even with massive money and pace-makers. The clock doesn't lie, but people do !

@teewoods Based on what? What are your dealings with the 3 of them?

Coe maybe a great runner but he was an arrogant and unpleasant dickhead! Ovett and Cram were far better and good natured people

Why is there a racial debate? Running requires cardiovascular strength, not skin pigment.

@AYjames91 saying white people can't compete is just a crutch to lean on when lazy whites want an excuse for losing, that's all it is is a damn excuse for not pushin yourself to the limit and running with balls. pisses me off every time i hear someone say that. i wanna smack them across the face. the worst is when someone says 'black people are born with an extra calf muscle.'....that's fuckin stupid.
Why can't athletics be like this today.
Gutsy runs like this are few and far between in athletics at present.
Everyone at the top is African, it annoys me when people say white people can't compete with the Africans, when Seb Coe ran 1:41.73 for 800 and 3:29.67 for 1500 20 years ago without all the technology modern athletes have.
And everyone these days wears the same Nike or Adidas kit, you can't tell them apart! Athletics has lost its' character.
