Apparently one of the factors that made this attempt invalid for the official world record time was the absence of a wada-sanctioned drug test.
It's an impressive feat if they're clean. If they shaved two minutes off the world record by pumping themselves full of PEDs then it's not really noteworthy.

- adenadel 10y agoI was under the impression that the runners were drug tested (at least, the commentators were talking about them needing to take fluids after the race in order to produce a sample). The time is not record eligible because they were cycling pacers in and out and because they were providing fluids whenever the Kipchoge, Tadese, and Desisa wanted, rather than at designated stations. EDIT: Nike officials stated that the athletes would be drug tested according to Ken Goe [0] 0. http://www.oregonlive.com/trackandfield/index.ssf/2017/04/goe_nike_deserves_props_not_cr.html http://www.oregonlive.com/trackandfield/index.ssf/2017/04/go...
