Clemence Calvin - who allegedly refused a doping test last month - sets new French NR of 2:23:41 in Paris

I'm surpised elite guys complained about weather. It was sunny with barely a breeze from N-E. Temp at start was around 2C (36F) and around 8C (46F) when they arrived two hours later.

For a hobby jogger who ran in 3h like me, it feels perfect with sleeves and an extra layer to drop before start.

Bump.

To offset the Boston News and other random crap on Letsrn.

Back to running....

and

Discus.

Shame shame sham. Absolutely disgusting. This sports going downhill. No suspension. No 5000m at pro meets?

Shame? The shame is hundreds of doped to the gills africans ruining the sport. It's been going downhill the last couple of decades. Thought the cold war era of doping was over but no. Its come back in a different way and another continent.

This one is hard to fathom. How could they let her run right after catching her? Now the national record is bogus.

Also, given what we know now, why hasn’t she ever been caught? She’s still never failed a test. Are Western athletes being protected? The AIU and IAAF better have some answers.

Lance called and he wants his excuses back.

She is under suspicion, but explained recently, in l'Equipe (French Sports News), that she has legitimate cocerns about being framed. In addition, one surmises that racism might be involved because her husband is former elite athlete, Samir Dahmani, a man of maghribian (North Africa) origin.

She is still under investigation, and if convicted of wrong doing, she faces a 4 year ban, in addition to having her 2.23.41 time invalidated. In Paris, her freshness astonished cynics who smelleda rat, so the saga is not finished, yet...

Looks like this case is taking some luster away from the Frank Mezza debacle, which appears to have gone cold.

Why doesn't this doping cheater just do what the NOPers do?

Refuse to answer the door when the testers knock.

Mail the drugs in hollowed out books.

Send your samples to the Mayo Clinic for pre-competition testing,

Check trigger levels by titration testing your own kid.

Claim most of the drugs are TUE.

Use microdosing.

Get a quack to prescribe thyroid killers.

Claim birth control pushed the testo over the limit.

Claim your elfin teenager has micro balls and needs testo.

Put the dope in huge IV bags to dilute it.

She got a good lawyer, and in the process put a huge bulls eye on her by the Anti-doping agencies so eventually she will get popped, especially now that everyone knows about her shenanigans.

Meant to say hilarious AND predictable ?. Carry on.

I prefer to use dotards.

Training in Morocco ? Yeah as if that's not suspicious as hell.

Why was she in Marrakesh? Unless there is a real good reason, I'd ban her for that alone. Seriously, everyone knows that virtually every Moroccan used to be on EPO.

Why in the wide world of sports would a Kenyan have an auto correct on their phone to "deplorables"?

Just a reminder to those new to this thread... She's dodged a lot of tests.

Including one for a 5km national record last month.

Hilarious. There was no reliable EPO test when Radcliffe set her world records. Wonder what she was taking?

Not the first time that's been proven in women's long distance.

Hell, even the Chinese proved it.

The Chinese? No mention of Paula Radcliffe?

Paula uses transfusions, not drugs get it right.

I suppose that if you take the tests when you want to take them then you will most likely appear "clean". Doping pays big time in this sport and lawyers are ready to defend the dopers. It's a joke - they should at least make doping legal to remove the hypocrisy of having an anti doping rule in the first place.
