Racing against returning drug cheat. What do you do?

Dublin half marathon?

Whoever it is, run your own race and stay above it.

Wish him well and introduce yourself as Mr. Clean.

No, but close. You definitely know who I am talking about. He is not running Dublin.

It doesn't matter who we are. I only replied to the first poster because he made a frankly incredible guess.

Why would it be incredible? There is a fairly limited number of returning dopers.

Because his ban ended several months ago and he hasn't raced in an Iaaf ratified race since. Everything he has ran has been small local road races. But I guess you are kind of right too.

It's Martin Fagan.

Charleville half

Woke up at 3.45 this morning. I have things to do.

raced with martin a few times, even beat him once or twice. my message to him would be "hello Martin, good to see you healthy and doing well. just fyi, I welcome you back to running, but I don't think you should be doing anything other than simply running. feel free to finish the race, but don't take a medal, prize, or prize money, make sure the RD know's you want to be removed from awards and won't take anything"

that's what I'd advise Martin to do, and what I think is the only honorable way for him to show up at a race.

That's what I say to all my competitors.

He has already done that in the small races. He has to get rewarded too if he wins. You can't turn down prizes for the rest of your life. You don't see gatlin doing it once. Martin has already shown some honour since his return.

Translated: I desperately need money, and I need more medals for my collection. Don't you dare beat me, cheater!
