Did disgraced marathoner Rita Jeptoo try to stop officials from testing her 'B' sample?

I never defended Paula's statement about 30 C

Haha! Why did you repeatedly put her statement over the actual measurements?

When I looked up the historical recorded temperature, it was recorded at the airport 25km away from the race.

I think I never talked about weather stations, except to say I think it's located at the airport some 30km away.

But you hope to catch her in a lie based on an airport thermometer 30 miles away

Word of advice: keep a list of your troll statements, as these are easy to find.

Also, how long are rekrunner miles?

You crack me up.

Moving on:

For that matter, Coe was not "under investigation"

Independent:

"Coe declared through the IAAF that he will not present himself for an examination, as he can legally reject the invitation as he is a member of the House of Lords."

Guardian:

"Sebastian Coe will defy a summons from parliament to answer further questions"

Insidethegames:

"Coe accused of accepting advice from Papa Diack and being aware of IAAF corruption

…

Following his election victory, Coe described Lamine Diack as the "spiritual President" of the sport and thanked him "for many personal kindnesses both in public and private".

Diack was believed to have been a supporter of Coe in the latter stages of his campaign, helping him gain decisive votes in Africa and other areas."

The Telegraph:

"Lord Coe faces culture, media and sport select committee: IAAF president is grilled over doping scandal"

And, rekrunner, just in case you want to claim once more that Coe only didn't read an email and defend that lie again:

The Telegraph:

"Lord Coe’s former aide expelled by IAAF over hidden payment

...

Coe maintained he had not known about the blackmail plot that brought the sport to its knees, and which remains under criminal investigation in France, but confirmed for the first time there had been several attempts to alert him to it.

His admission came in a letter to Damian Collins, the chairman of the Culture, Media and Sport select committee, amid attempts to recall Coe to Parliament following testimony from former athlete David Bedford which MPs said “undermined” the IAAF president’s evidence to them in December 2015.

...

Bedford, the former 10,000 metres world record holder, made several attempts to alert Coe to the looming scandal"

There is more, but I gotta go now. Thanks for the laughs!

😂 That guy is the best thing about this thread. So busted. Definitely has to splain' himself to his boss .

Pointing out that historical temperatures are recorded in Faro, and not Vilamoura is not "putting her statement over the actual measurements", but showing the actual measurements are from the Faro Airport weather station, and not Vilamoura.In any case, assuming the worst case for the sake of argument, collecting blood 90 minutes after a 67 minute effort at 90% intensity in 23 C weather is enough to render this point unreliable for ABP type analysis and comparisons, because of the increased risk of false positives due to confounding effects of the effort.Regarding Coe, it's a bit generous to call the UK Parliament Select Committee "inquiry" into allegations of the Sunday Times reports an "investigation", and that Coe was the subject of this "investigation". It's more accurate to say that Coe was a cooperating witness into an inquiry, whose stated scope was to "explore the (Sunday Times) allegations ... that the IAAF failed to follow up test results". I'm curious though, what were the published findings of the Select Committee?

This is what she is claiming. People do lie in court, stupid people. Given the situation and the people involved she could've been paid to lie. She has no income these days.

Friendly reminder that anti-doping panels are non-judicial. Lying is no problem.

It helps that the panel members mostly work for the federations when they aren't representing sanctioned athletes.

A red flag always pops up when an athlete is getting re-tested in Lausanne. We know at this point the Lausanne lab (Martial Saugy) fixed quite a few positives. They were explained away as "non-standard" or a vague "measuring error."

I tried to find a report at their website, and could only find that, because of the general election, and dissolution of Parliament, the Select Committee "ceased to exist", and the status of the inquiry is "concluded".

⤴☞if they have finished, it should be published in annual parliamentary proceedings. The minutes (as you have probably already seen should be available). Unless Seb & Paula have top secret/classified status.

Maybe in the world of "pop pop", these debatable reminders seem on-topic. I do recall that Lance lied "under oath" during the SCA arbitration in 2005, and his "perjury" became a crucial part of his downfall.Bringing the thread back to the main topic:- Jeptoo is not in front of an anti-doping panel, but making claims in in a Kenyan court, where lying could be a bigger problem- the Lausanne lab (Martial Saugy) analysis of the B-sample, despite any alleged attempted interference on the part of Jeptoo, confirmed the A-sample, leading to a two-year ban- the IAAF succeeded to make the case to CAS, another anti-doping arbitration panel, to extend the two-year ban to a four-year banThese "non-standard" or vague "measuring error" explanations were not uniquely from Saugy, but applied across the board to all blood samples not collected, transported, stored, or analyzed according to ABP standards, which were defined in 2005, and 2007, and approved in 2009. These "ABP process errors" also looks like they are not applicable to Jeptoo, which found, not an anomalous ABP, but the "old school" presence of synthetic EPO.But yeah, thanks for the friendly reminders.

Theoretical debates aside, is she the winner of the Darwin award? From what we gather she tried to smash her "B" sample so could not be tested. What is she, a teenager? Nothing suspicious in that action. She is as stupid those people in 2017 that still try to rob banks in broad daylight with cameras everywhere and traced notes. EPO doesn't improve intelligence.

Maybe not the "Darwin" award, as she is still alive.

I think the bigger question is, is EPO transmittable like an STD????

My bad 👎, I always presumed it was for the most utterly ridiculous act imaginable.

That's part of it. From the website of the same name:"The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally remove themselves from it..."
