Rita Jeptoo tests positive

Did you ask a doctor if this is true?

Once the A is leaked, few races will let her compete until her B comes back negative and she can show them the paper work.

No.

how long have rosa athletes been getting away with it

he is allegedly a master blood doper

left cycling and moved to kenya

Clearly not.

How long will it be before she is banned (assuming her B sample is positive, which any sane person would believe will be the case)? Seems like drug cheats can beat around the bush and still compete for a year and then their suspsension starts when they tested positive, so its only one year instead of two. Is this really the case?

Read my second post in the thread.

It is a little messy during the appeals process as each NADO has different time tables, but as the example, the longest a guilty athlete could go before any suspension is about 22 working days. This is the provisional suspension. Then, the appeals may start, which my halt that suspension, or sustain it.

But the answer is in front of you. Read through the documents.

Haha, busted with my second username. Anyway, read the timeline post, its all there. Any thing else can be found in the links.

Kenyans don't dope. Renato said.

That's not what he said, but I believe you've gone on record numerous times claiming testing in Kenya is ineffective and that major stars are afforded protection.

I believe the World Marathon Majors group has issues a press release statement on Jeptoo saying that it has decided to postpone the awards ceremony.

If you want to clean up running, get rid of the prize money and watch the Kenyans disappear.

This is actually a very good plan and would definitely reduce doping without resorting to more and more expensive doping controls. You would also have more Yuki Kawauchi types competing which would make the sport much more interesting. The only problem is how do you return the sport back to its amateur status in this day and age? It looks like a difficult thing to do with all the legal and administrative obstacles that would have to be cleared.

RITA Jeptoo, not Priscah

You are not the best of the best in any sport without doping. Wake up folks.

Yeah like she is doping and the one that has her knees tied together ISN'T. Taxi for Kenya.

Endorsements and appearance money. We're half way there as it is. Goucher and Hall make their sponsors more money despite not winning than any of the faster East Africans. And why not? Race sponsors would gladly not pay prize money and direct their money to supporting athletes who will generate more revenue in future sales. I'm sure they feel paying a Kenyan a million bucks just because they are the fastest could be far better spent. And in terms of public relations, sponsors can even take the high road and state that they are doing their part in the war on drugs in sport.

Stop giving my race entry dollars to Kenyan dopers! No money to winners. Lower race entry price!
