Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARβ/δ) had been linked to inhibition on the proliferation and apoptosis in a few cancer cell lines. However, limited data exists regarding the role of PPARβ/δ in...
I'd lean towards it being harmful over long periods of time but probably not terrible for a couple of weeks or a month (but of course it is a risk). But he probably did take it over long periods.
Good news for the Botswana 800m legend, who served a doping ban.
Hopefully, he will be able to produce good middle distance runners in Iran. Iran shines in basket ball 🏀 (several NBA players), wrestling and little else.
Wonder if he will have to convert to Islam and change his name to Nigeluddin Amostafa.

They do that in Qatar and Turkey to the athletes who switch allegiance to those countries but no such thing exists in Iran, to my knowledge. In addition, coach Amos is not competing for Iran but rather he's coaching the athletes.
"Key Examples by Sport Football: Carlos Queiroz: The Portuguese coach managed the Iran national team for an extended period, leaving in 2023, according to Wikipedia.
Other Football Coaches: Notable football coaches have included Croatian national Dragan Skočić, who managed Tractor FC, and various other foreign managers for the national team and club sides like Esteghlal and Sepahan.
Volleyball: Roberto Piazza: The Italian coach serves as the head coach for the Iran national volleyball team, according to Wikipedia. Other Sports:
Katerina Hatzidaki: The Greek coach joined the Mahram basketball team, marking a significant development in women's sports, reports
Recent Developments and Challenges Government Intervention: In the past, a policy was put in place to restrict the signing of new foreign coaches and players in football, though existing contracts could be extended, according to the Tehran Times.
Contract Issues: Some foreign coaches have left Iran due to issues such as unpaid wages or unstable conditions, highlighting ongoing challenges, notes IranWire.
Blacklisting: The Iranian Football Federation has considered blacklisting coaches who seek unpaid wages and attempt to terminate their contracts, according to IranWire."
Ghost word: According to the above, Coach Amos will be in good company.
Caveat: Contract payments sometimes late or not fulfilled.
I don't think Ghost1 is connected to the doping scene, at least not as a coach or manager. I doubt if would have survived in a place like Kenya or Iran for this long if he was.

On a lighter note, if he's only 31, in theory he could become the first coach to break all the national records of his team, in practice. Conflict of interest or ultimate inspiration? Who can say? I'm thinking Percy Cerutty 2.0 ft the Prince of Persia, etc.
It’s not like Iran doesn’t have a long history of doping. Kesmiri their discus thrower was a steroid king in the 1970s. His son went onto win the NCAA before being banned for drugs too. Of course, nobody fails drug tests at NCAA. Hence schools like Tennessee can hire a coach in the middle of the balco scandal with no pushback at all.
Of all places in this world, he wishes to be based in the Middle East…
He never seemed the brightest, OR the most trustworthy. Wow.
Money is the motivator. Amos is getting a fat contract in Iran, presumably. Just the same as Ronaldo playing pro soccer in Saudi Arabia. The Saudis pay the most, simple. Did you see the news recently? Ronaldo has become the first soccer Billionaire.

Something that a lot of westerners may not understand is that Iran is not an Arab country, and has a different language and naming traditions. They share some Muslim naming patterns (many Mohammeds), which would tend to help fool us (so will their location and involvement in middle eastern politics, enough said about that). But it really is a different place with its own culture and traditions. (Not that Turkey is Arab either...)
(I'm not saying you're ignorant of this, ghost1, it just seemed worth mentioning)

I already knew this and am impressed by Iranian Persian culture in general. Iran's Government is a separate matter, which I'd rather not get into on this forum. Most Iranians I've met have impressed me. If Amos respects the culture in Iran, he'll do well. Btw, Persian food is great, and pretty healthy.
