Late career renaissance for both. It's like Regina Jacobs all over again. Both of them are nice people, but they're also competitors, and are tired of being off the top runners, and have turned to a system that can put their bodies where they've never gone before.
yep, dope boy magic
mmmmm maybe
Jacobs did win a WC medal at a fairly young age (25-26), and came on much later (10-12 years), where as Moser and Farah are about 30 and had good success along the way. Just saying the age thing itself isn't a telltale sign.
Moreover, even if there is doping going on just because one from a team is doing doesn't imply guilt to everyone.
Finally, way way to early to speculate. At this point we don't know what is going on. Maybe Moser said Putin was gay, or a beady-eyed putz, and they are booting her out of the country. Or maybe she broke her toe.
That said, if she refused the drug test isn't that an automatic 2 year ban?

If Moser is, so is Rupp. The dominoes will fall soon.
She's injured. This has nothing to do with drugs or testing. You'll see, then you will remember this post.
if rupp is, so is jordan hassay
Is she injured, or is she "injured"?
Like all those people, including Bolt, who got "injured" as soon as they found out that the drug testing for the Jamaica International in May would be done by the IAAF, not Jamaica.
Her last couple of races were very subpar. Maybe she really is injured.
Obviously, the timing is just as suspect as Regina Jacobs'.
If Mosier is injured and has been for a couple of races, what is going on is very much unfair to Sarah Brown, who has to get a Russian visa, get the visa, get on a plane to Moscow (don't even think about jet lag) and run in the first round on Sunday.
If you know you are injured or sub-par, give the alternate a fighting chance.
I am not hearing anything about drugs...not sure how that got started, it appears to be TM or McGee that's out.
Hopefully Sarah B will get her ducks in a row so she can compete. I know she'll be in shape because she was in Maine for the Falmouth Mile, trying to win some good money up there. Exchanging that pay day for a once in a lifetime experience when you're at peak fitness of your career at 25 yo, she'll be good to go!

Wait, you're here and you're not sure how that got started?
Wait, what?

We'll know in the morning Moscow time. 4-6 hours.

It's not unfair to Sarah Brown. It's her own fault for not qualifying at nationals.
Maine? Falmouth Mile? You know that?
I'd like to commend LRC (never thought I'd type that) for removing unsupported posts about Moser.
I really hope this is not ped related..
Do people really think Mo is clean? It just doesnt pass the smell test.
In 5 years, Mo will be like lance... a total disgrace to the sport. People will be saying the knew it. His defenders will still be here.
I think for the most part, people realize Farah is using something. That being said, he is also very talented and has been near the top of the scene for years. IMO most people are intelligent enough to see that he's not entirely natural. HOWEVER, he's probably only marginally more dirty than the next guy

It does not pass the smell test, but neither do canned sardines or liverwurst and people still eat them.
It takes more than a bad smell to deem someone dirty.

Ima policy wonk too.
With lance, like many, I wanted to believe but the moment Landis went down it became suspicious.
At this point no one has been offically accused and no announcements of a refusal have been made. So we're a wee bit early to be jumping on that train. Nevertheless nothing would surprise me anymore.
