Look, anyone could be doped but I have none of my "doping radar" going off on her.
What about her makes you think she's doped? Other than the fact that she's REALLY good.
I mean nothing else is that unusual.
1) She doesn't avoid Diamond League/Championships meets where there is always testing like so many Eastern Europeans.
2) She loses high profile races because she went for broke (Rio Olympics) like you'd think a non doped athlete would.
3) She doesn't race an ungodly amount. Last year, she ran 7 different 1500 competitions outdoors (2 800s). El G was doing 11-12 in his prime.
4) She was very good at a young age and is the age you should be improving. She's 23 now. In 2013, she was primarily an 800 runner and ran 2:00.80 (and 4:07). In 2014, she moved to the 1500 and ran 4:00. In 2015,, she ran 3:58. In 2016, she ran 3:55.
If I told you there was a DIII male collegian who moved was moving up from the 800 and ran the following times for the 1500 during his collegiate career, you wouldn't be shocked at all.
2013- 2:00/4:07
2014- 2:00/4:00
2015 - 2:00/3:58
2016- 2:00/3:55
1) microdosing.
2) Asafa Powell loses high profile races, man he is really clean. Paula Radcliffe?
3) Guerrouj only raced 11-12 races in a season, if you count heats, semis, & finals in 2 events and a couple of indoor races.
4) I may be old but even I could give 2-flat for 800m a nudge right now but there is no way I could do 3:55 and I do an hour solid most days.
