Wouldn't that have resulted, generally, in very fast times across a lot of races? Can't really say I noticed that.

Miller Uibo is beautifully gorgeous! She is hot AF.

Legit?!!! Her training partner was banned for steroids three months ago!
crazy fast time, certainly suspect in that company.
btw, what happened to the one masculine athlete Seyni? She almost beat Naser earlier this year, passing like the whole field in the straightaway...

Sad that at a "track" and field meet, NBC Sports paid little to no attention to the track on which the meet was run. Guessing that Doha did not skimp and installed the latest space age track version. Plus, being an enclosed stadium with an open roof, cuts down on wind, where in the 400m a tailwind on the backstretch has to be paid back by a headwind on the homestretch (although it does eliminate the possibility of a swirling tailwind all the way around a 400m race).
Wait a minute! How can they AC the place if the roof is open?
Some theory that she has DSD or whatever it was. And nowhere it's even mentioned she was tested for anything, just banned for her looks, I guess.

They run from the same country, but are they training partners ???

For the sake of clarity, I want to point out that you are referring to Naser's training partner Kemi Adekoya, another Bahraining acquisition from Nigeria. Tested positive for Stanzolol in November 2018.

Yes they are/were training partners, coached by a Bulgarian...

Yanko Bratanov, who also coached two other Nigerian ex-pats in Bahrain, Femi Ogunode and Samuel Francis....both of who have tested positive for banned substances.
Quite a difference between Nasser and KJT at the end of their races. Nasser barely out of breath (she wasn’t the only one either) and KJT prone and gasping a bit as you’d expect. If Nasser’s clean I’ll eat my mother-in-law’s scones.
IAAF piece here says she changed coach a while back:
https://www.iaaf.org/news/feature/salwa-eid-naser-bahrain-400m-iaaf-world-champ
Given that it's implausible that she wasn't doping under the Bulgarian fella whose whole group was seemingly on steroids, what are the chances she's now clean (and considerably faster)?
I'm going to say...0.5%.
I'll give her that. I'd say there's a one in two hundred chance she's not cheated.

She switched to the 200, possibly because of XY DSD, but failed to make the final.

Or Wayde Van Niekerk in Beijing when he shocked the world and chopped loads off his PR.
He was exhausted, carried away.

Hot air rises? Flood the lower levels with cold air continually and it will make an impact. Not exactly efficient, but for a 1-2 week event who cares.

What a great race. I was shocked at the US commentating on the race. I was all for playing up Miller-Uibo. And while the mentioned Naser, they failed to hype her up enough failed to mention one key thing - SHE'S UNDEFEATED ON THE YEAR at 400. How do you not mention that?
A rare mistake by Ato Boldon.
Anyway, fantastic race.
Come on Rojo. In the week where Salazar went down - and every NOP athlete is being asked about it- perhaps it not so "fantastic" that an athlete linked to a doping coach is destroying everyone.

How untouchable do you have to feel to be using Stanzolol in 2019!!
