Abdi Abdirahman 3rd in NYC in 2:11:23 at 39 years of age!

Wonder if he keeps in touch with Martin.

Regarding that first "No". No, he has not had 2 roommates test positive? Or No, he is not the only one in the field with 2 roommates testing positive. Who are those roommates being referenced?

No he has not had 2 roommates that have served drug suspensions.

Sissay and Fagan both tested positive while living with Abdi.

Yes it happened.

Fagan did not test positive while living with Abdi.

Sissay tested positive in November at NYC marathon 2011. 1 month later Fagan tested positive and one month after that Abdi shocked everyone with a heroic performance at th trials in Houston.

The 3 of them were training and living together at the time.

When did Ezkyas live with Abdi?

Read a brief chat January 12 2012.

Talks about his training partners at the time.

I've read it before.

When did Ezkyas live with Abdi?

I can back up this story.

Abdi told me that he was training and living with Sisay (and his wife) and Martin at the trials in Houston. He was excited about Ezykas performance in NY because he was kicking his butt in workouts. At the time no one had tested positive.

I remember how shocked Abdi was when he found out about Martin during his interview at the trials. Ezkyas positive wasn't revealed until June.

After the London Olympics the story changed and Abdi said they were both training partners briefly but denied living with them as I am sure he wanted to separate from all the drama.

I lived in Tucson during the fall and winter of 2011-2012. Abdi did not live with Ezkyas.

Did they train together or is the Gambicini interview from Brief Chat fiction?

They trained together, depending on who you are asking about, for a few months. That is true.

Thank you for clarification. Indeed, that's how it happened. Not quite in agreement with your last paragraph, however. Best to just leave that alone.

Letsrun and the Brojos aren't giving Abdi much attention. This should be a huge story. Is that because when something seems to good to be true, it is too good to be true?
