Anyone know why the Ethiopians are in Albuquerque right now? I am 100% sure that I saw Dibaba today with a whole group of Ethiopians. This also leads me to believe that the tumors are true of her having left Aden.

No surprise. Albuquerque is notorious for drug using athletes.
Calling wada....
Why can't she be in Albuquerque? Athletes commonly travel to other countries to train in the off season
Albuquerque is a known druggie refuge.
After shattering an impossible 3:50 record, Dibaba now proclaims she can go faster.
Dibaba now training in Albuquerque.
Well, let's think this one through...
Dibaba is doing whatever she is doing and it's been working just fine and WADA could care less **$$**
Why would she stop?
Well, she has every right to be there; but if she were seeking altitude, it's all right there in Ethiopia. Anyway, I was just curious. Incidentally, as one might surmise, I meant "rumors" and not "tumors" in my original post. Who would Aden have left if Dibaba has fled? Kaki is all but defunct, soulieman has a pretty bad injury, and makhloufi is long gone.

Actually, WADA is just a standards setting body. It's the federations that are responsible for doing a number of things. that matter.
The old "I was at altitude" doping excuse is DEFINITELY possible.
Obviously shes there for that blue crystal
Jesse must have run out of cash & started cooking again.
It's difficult to train in Ethiopia during the rainy season. If you're going to go somewhere else, you might as well go to a place with a good T&F training infrastructure.
Is she being dope tested in Albuquerque?

USADA would see to that. Ethiopia's rainy season is July to September.
Except for the fact that the rainy season is during the summer months not the winter months:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addis_Ababa#Climate

I would be very doubtful that Jama'a group would travel to Albuquerque for training now. The weather is much better in Ethiopia this time of year and it's far less expensive in every way.
I do not know your racial nor your ethnicity. I am fairly confident you are not Ethiopian. Barry Scheck & John Grisham have proven that white people are awful at identifying specific individuals whom are not white. Are you 100% sure you saw a Dibaba sister today? ABQ is huge. Be specific. Eg., while running along Rio Grande River or while running on Wyoming ... .
Mare Dibaba is scheduled to run the Houston race in a couple weeks, along with several other Ethiopians. They may be pre-race training in ABQ?

1) What does Dibaba mean? Tirunesh? Genzebe? Mare? I"m assuming by the second part of your post it means Genzebe.

2) This has to be one of the dumber posts in LetsRun history. Yes lots of dopers have trained in Albuquerque over the years but the last place a top notch doped up African wants to train is in the US as the testing over hear would be more frequent than over there.
How can it be one of the dumber posts in letsrun history when there are thousands of posts asserting exactly this same asinine connection. There have been dopers in Albuquerque but that does not mean that you go to Abq only in order to dope. It is a fine place to train where you can run at around 5200 feet at the beautiful UNM track, run a bit lower for as far as you want on dirt or pavement with no traffic at all along the Bosque, or run hills from 6500 ft up to over 10000 ft in the Sandia Mountains. You can live up above 6-7k or down lower. The weather is great for training. It rarely snows much in the city itself and while cold at night and sometimes hot during the afternoon, temperatures are usually outstanding in mid-morning and late afternoon. It is also dry. The airport is very easy to access as well.

No they wouldn't. Unless she was recruited to represent another country, the IAAF and her NADO would be the ones doing tests.
In 2014 the IAAF did less than 20 blood tests and her NADO is completely underfunded. A bunch of easily defeated urine tests are a joke.
Literally nobody cares if elite international athletes dope. Be sure to attract an audience while winning on dope and it's all good.

You are misinformed. See USADA's website:
http://www.usada.org/athletes/antidoping101/Foreign athletes present in the United States are drug tested by USADA. It wouldn't make very much sense for IAAF testers to fly from overseas to test someone in the US when capable testers are much closer. You wouldn't think that UKAD sends testers to Portland to test Mo Farah.
