Unfortunately this rumor is true. I've heard from 2 sources that I am really close with. One in the portland (other group) and one in Seattle. The news will come out soon enough regardless if you believe my post or not.

And yet more substance.

You guys crack me up.

Come on, folks. Nobody believes any of this nonsense. At least try to make your posts entertaining since they certainly won't be convincing.

If this thread is going to survive, the Brojos should address these accusations on the front page. If it's true: this would be a huge story, so they should at least share any steps they are taking to confirm or deny this rumor.

My guess is that's exactly what's going on. Formal story being written, but editing grammar, misspelling, typos, etc could take hours, if not days or weeks. ;)

Rumours of Centro testing positive, Cain withdrawing from Worlds, and Ritz withdrawing from Boston all on the same day or two?

Cain, Centro, Ritz, who's next? Or do they only come in 3's on March 3rd?

If this keeps snowballing we are going to find out I was the last person to run clean in a pair of Nikes when I shredded a 6:38 mile in jr. high.

In other news, by the grace of God, Ryan Hall has been added to Boston.

I agree. This is getting a little sketchy... but I suppose it could all just be coincidence.

Abdi & Hall both added to Boston.

The withdraws make this situation way more suspicious.

Does anyone know why Cain withdrew?

It appears that the medications the NOP athletes are taking, that Alberto thought were not going to register a positive teat, do now in fact register a positive test. I highly doubt Centro would knowingly dope. However, I would bet my house that Salazar encouraged the use of some doctor/medicine to cure some ailment that resulted in a surprise positive test.

...I would like to categorically dispel any ugly rumors as to why I missed a few races. I will be racing in the outdoor season as normal.

Happy to say that I’m back running again after missing the indoor season due to illness..... (more)

Surprised he's even acknowledging these.

Centro confirms rumors to be false on twitter
