Titus Ekiru provisionally suspended by AIU

How long before Rojo sells shirts to helps his defense

Anyone have more insight into why they’re using these drugs? The corticosteroid sounds like a muscle-sparing weight loss drug from its use in cycling, but apparently allowed until competition— so why use that close? And the other one is an opioid, another strange one.

If anything, people being mainly caught for these weirdo idiot-test drugs makes me think everyone smart is doping too.

Yeah it’s not weird as in unusual. It’s weird in terms of the “why.” It does seem the drug was en vogue amongst a few middlemen. The falsified documents thing is a pattern as well. There are/were crooked individuals pushing this drug as well as others coming up with phony documentation. As a later poster says it’s complete idiocy to use it on race day, which shows a low level of sophistication. That kinda gets back to the agents thing…there’s little way to me that smart and ruthless agents like Rosa/Demadonna if they were facilitating doping would be administering it so moronically.

You are commenting in a thread about an ACTUAL doping bust and making up some weird whataboutism fake scenario in your head. Every time we get another kenyan doping bust its the same excuses and deflections. So how about you strive for some honesty here?

Dietrologia!

F’em all !!

There’s plenty of other threads for that very thing. This is not it.

And there are still people who get excited about the performances coming out of Kenya. It’s time to ban them all. But World Athletics is too scared of being called a racist to do that. Yes it’s lot state sponsored like in Russia but the state and the federation is obviously tolerating it. They still let all these suspicious Kenyans who disappear for the majority of the year only to win medals at world and Olympic competes and they still wonder why no one care about this sport. Ban Kenya, now.

You are a bunch of manipulators.

How do you sleep the night with your conscience about lying?

How many elite runners has your country in middle/long distances?

How much time will stay your Federer, Nadal, Phelps ... before they take their places in the museum of archeology like their predecessors?

Making more mainstream news but of course no-one is going to know his name.

Makes you wonder about the rest of the top ten.

Sorry just to add:

I want to point out the new mystery PEDs seems to now always be powerful anti-inflammatories.

Elites are basically destroying themselves because there's a huge price. It's weird.

The wealthy do this to their race-horses, burn them up and throw them away, disgusting and horrible.

But there might be plenty on the top ten getting away with doing this with TUEs, we'll never know because WADA doesn't release anonymous statistic disclosures, which they should be required.

Probably made enough money from that Valencia win to live comfortably for the remainder of his life in Kenya.

That's because the AIU decided to focus resources on Kenya. They know it. And AIU head Brett Clothier says it'll get worse before it gets better. A blanket ban isn't an option.
