Awesome. Thanks for the video.
Wonder if she’s clean?
I've always thought she was clean. Impeccable biomechanics with phenomenal physiology. Remember that her PB is 3:50, running :09 slower in a season opener is solid.
And I think she falls apart a bit in longer distances because of a biomechanical flaw - note how much more her left arm crosses across her center of gravity quite aggressively. She has a big imbalance (all the greats do), but I've noticed it more pronounced in recent seasons.

Lol. She's about as clean as Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds, Bekele, and the Chinese women that held the top times in the 1500 before her.
8th fastest time in history. Very good for a rust buster indeed.
she ran 3:55i years back. Why does she run so well in the winter?

She was being coached by Jama Aden in Sabadell the season that she broke a doped of Chinese WR. Does that help with your quandary?

Notice her "manager", the Spaniard Pineda, on the backstretch. I have no doubt that he is nothing more than a coaching proxy for Aden, who has gone underground. It's a dirty, dirty business, kids.

Juan Pedro Pineda has coached Sadik Mikhou and Matthew Kisorio.
Yeah, she is as clean as Farah, Jager, Keitany, Radcliffe and Rupp.

Of course. And the recent WR holder for the half marathon. Why is there nothing done with this?

Exactly, everyone with Jama Aden's group when that monster drugs bust took place in Spain should have been banned immediately for 4 years just for starters. Yet nothing was done.
The sports governing bodies are doing nothing about the problem so it is time for governments to get involved as effectively fraud is taking place. Race organiers should be fined heavily or imprisoned for inviting such athletes to compete in their races. Even the public should be encouraged to invade the tracks or roads to stop races with doping athletes. Only then will the sports governing bodies start to do something.

This video should make it obvious why, effort for effort, peak for peak, indoor is faster than outdoor now. The banked turns make it almost like running a straight line. Calculate the centripetal force needed to turn on a 35 meter radius at 6.7 meters per second, if it's not so obvious.
If Galen Rupp could casually solo 3:51 and 13:01 outdoors, he would have.
Props to competent amateur videog.
Doping has been illegal in Spain since 2013. Getting governments involved is not the panacea you seem to think.

There is no doubt that a deal was made post Sabadell bust.
Also no kerb on the indoor track here so the runner can run nearer the inside of the lane with no worries about accidentally stepping on the kerb and suffering serious injury.
Doped or not, that is one fine caboose.
Gladwell, of the oft-debunked moronic Tall Kenyan Runner Theory doubles down on stupidity.
