We are at the point where the cat-and-mouse game of PED use overshadows the competition of many sports. Doping busts are bigger stories than the T&F/running events the busted athlete competes in.
Time to stop the charade. Bring on the Enhanced Games.
Rojo preening not withstanding, this is wild news. Proves they’ll let the titans fall?
no
not if you and your people are in the club.
and too big to fail.
say if bolt and mo farah had blood passport issues, giving a provisional suspension before an olympics, isnt ever going to happen. though the protected are few by now. so lets call that a good thing.
Guardian is picking up on this angle: "After the race she was asked by one journalist from the website Let’s Run whether her run “was too good to be true”, and asked what her response would be to people who doubted her. “I don’t have any idea,” Chepngetich replied. A day later several members of the Kenyan parliament criticised the journalist for questioning their national hero."
Sean Ingle is really opposed to women cheating on the roads unless he's married to the person in question...
and somehow i'm supposed to believe a little skinny guy can almost win paris-roubaix on his first attempt and is also somehow the strongest mountain climber in the world?
The men's world record is 2:04:56 by Kengo Suzuki and the women's world record is 2:18:29 by Emily Sisson. Every African time before them is dirty no if ands or buts. Throw Paula in that mix too. She was dirty as hell. This is really f$%ked up. You can't believe ANYTHING in our sport now. It's so much dirtier than cycling ever was.
i buy this a bit.
your ryan hall might have the record prior, he was low in testosterone late in his carear , and obviously thats suboptimal and he was not on TRT,
which means you are not taking the mostvobvious ped, therefore not other PEDs.
this is armchair bro science, if someone in the know can chime in that would be good.
back in the day, quietly i think they would normalize various levels, and not think that was even remotely cheating, that would be Coe era and before.
moving forwardcit went from therapy to abuse.
really, back in the day very hard training created terrible blood work, thyroid, test, mineral deficincy, withou supplementation of some sort, you hit a wall, mentally and physically.
the above comment insinuates that the african times were all artificial, and i actually do not believe that is the case, but the majority are. and voting for the true WRcholder being Japanese is simply due to their pedigree, and honorable behavior in sport.
Kenya track record could not be more dishonorable. i am personallyvoffended.
I’m glad we finally nailed one of these big dawgs. Track has become such a laughing stock and pervasive cheating has never been so obvious. The 2:09 was such a disgusting performance, and so many other performances like those have rendered the whole sport meaningless.
I don’t care about any american runner who is taking the opportunity to virtue signal or paint themselves as a victim. Their silence was loud when Shelby was caught and it shows their hypocrisy. Emma branding Ruth as a cheater for a positive test while still liking Shelby’s posts, like I’m supposed to feel bad for you. American distance runners proved long ago that they don’t care about cheating and most of them engage in it too. They only care about foreign cheating.
Time to start questioning Rosa's other athletes, not a good look if they stay with him.
I would just ban Rosa for life from the sport and make him serve serious time in prison or a labor camp. We need to get tough here to clean out the source of problem. Race organizers should not accept any athlete trained or managed by Rosa from this day on.
Just wait until rekrunner starts "explaining" her positive test, and whining about the "advantages" the mean AIU has over the poor dopers. Rojo will be sorry.
