She was scheduled to run in a fabulous 3000-meter race in Monaco Friday, but today's entry list does not show her name. This means she has NO competitions so far this season. She is qualified for the worlds in both 5 and 10, but the Ethiopian Federation generally uses best times to select their team. Presumably, they would want her to "demonstrate fitness" before selecting her. So, we may not see her at all in London.
Obvious doper is obvious.
Another doping cheater. F Almazzz
Failed a test?
I reached out to her agent Jos Hermens. He explained that she is healthy and training well and wanted to run Monaco. But he said that Ethiopian federation isn't letting her compete in Monaco as they put together their own training camp before Worlds and take control over the athletes. That's why athletes like Genzebe Dibaba and Letesenbet Gidey aren't competing either.
Hermens said that she did have an injury earlier in the year, but she is still planning on running the 5k in London.

Thanks for that info. Did Hermens say anything about her doubling? If she wants to win the 5, she had better not double, because Obiri is a huge threat.

⤴Nothing suspicious to see here⤴
If someone is not doping but people continue to call that person a doper, is that a complement?

I didn't ask about doubling. In fact, to correct what I said earlier, Hermens did not confirm she would do the 5k, only that she would compete in London.
I was assuming she'll only do the 5k as she has the bye in the 5k and didn't run the Ethiopian 10k trials. But I suppose the Ethiopian Federation could still let her run the 10k considering she's the Olympic champ/world record holder.

Of course. That's why a lot of trolls here love to complement Radcliffe and NOP often

My goodness. Just stop. Please stop. The Kenyan guy whose first language isn't English got it right, but two North Americans couldn't.

Federation's taking over and ruining athlete's training is a major issue in some countries, and why such countries are failing to have the success that they should.

Completely doped to the gills < Runs freakish time that smashes record set by known doper. Lives in a country where testing is substandard. Year later disappears off the map with an 'injury', which in sports such as swimming, cycling and running is usually looked upon with an element of suspicion. Case closed your honour.

You should really check your facts. I am like 75% sure she was a doper, but she didn't disappear off the map as you say. She ran a full indoor season and then missed a few months of the summer before making it to the Olympics. The 'injury' you speak of is also real... there are several videos online of her in candid shots where she definitely was limping.

She hasn't run a race this year.
