And they are the only two to jump 6m since the whole drug incident so they are legit as you can get.


The THG thing? No pole vaulters have ever been accused of being part of that as far as I know.


Well as far as I know they were just as deep and I can name many that have been accused and I have heard lots of stories. If you talk to some of the older elites Im sure they might tell If not they are being nieve. And I know one notorious one around this area that I am 105% sure about.

But you can't post on here and accuse people of being on drugs if they're not even being named in newspaper articles or convicted of anything.

I'll just delete posts that point fingers like that. It's bad for the sport.

Well now that I read its not really what I ment, around the time of this drug ordeal I havent heard about anyone from the US doing that stuff. And plus besides Hartwig nobody was really jumping high. Like I said I just heard I never took a urine sample so. I apologize.
