and right, we know the LRC suspicion around Katir but Bezabeth definitely does not belong on that list being a convicted doper. So "Spain" has two under 13..
As of the global list of AIU published, end May 2023, Spain has only 5 runners serving their ban.
GONZALEZ PEDROUSO 4 years ineligibility 27/09/2025 Since 02.04.19 ONYIA, Josephine Lifetime ban (3rd ADRV) Since 01.08.15 PUJANA GOICOECHEA, Iñaki 4 years ineligibility 27/09/2025 Since 23.02.16 REVUELTA GARCIA, Alberto 4 years ineligibility 26/08/2025 Since 21.09.16 SANTIAGO, Camilo 6 months ineligibility since 2023

Some of the UKs 1500 guys should also focus on the 5000. Getting on the 1500 team in Paris is going to be incredibly hard but the competition in the 5000 is minimal - anyone who can reach the standard is on the team. For someone like George Mills, who is just outside that group of top 1500 guys (even with. 3:33 PB), the 5000 should be a good option. He debuted with 13:18 at the weekend, I don't think it's unreasonable to think he could find 13 seconds to hit the standard if it became his focus.
Yes, he definitely should. But I think he has a good shot at making the 1500m team this year. Doesn't GB get 4 places for Budapest with Wightman being defending champ? Of course maybe UK Athletics wouldn't take up the extra place anyway...
I think they'll take all 4 places in the 1500, it's the one event where GB is competitive across the board - any 4 men selected can realistically make the World final.
It'll still be tough for Mills. Kerr and Gourley are near-certainties, then it's one spot between Heyward, Giles, Stonier, and maybe Copeland if he can recover his firm of 2021. Gourley would also have a shot at the 5000 after his recent 13:11
