The very best, Tirunesh Dibaba trying again, Vivian Cheruiyot's debut. It will be great.

Why are London Marathon organisers inviting her after her presence at the Jama Aden monster drugs bust last summer? Do the organisers just not care at all about doping in distance running? Shame on them for facilitating fraud if so.

Doesn't seem right then that you are not being paid as a professional athlete and invited to races all over the world.

To be fair, I don't think she ever was trained by Jama Aden, even if she must be thinking "why did it have to happen when I was there?" now. Or was it done on purpose when she was there? I can't remember if she was tested along Aden's trainees.
