Katir said that what happened in Monaco face to Cheruiyot will not happens next year.
I have just looked now his 3000m, he has a body with elegant fitness.
Katir will be serving a 4 year ban.
Katir has a body full of engorged red blood cells. The numbers look like he’s about half a transfusion away from stroking out of existence.
Yeah, agreed. He's got to have a 'likely doping' in his ABP ...
He ran with terrible pacing in 2020 and a similar time. He was in 3:27 shape in that one.
Hot as in pissing hot.
European of North African origin going from 3:36 to 3:28, 7:44 to 7:27, and 13:50 to 12:50 since last year?
Stop me, stop me, oh stop me. Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before.
Is he not taking a test after each of these DL meets?
He is…the thesis of doping is of offseason EPO use (though he did race indoors) or microdosing…
Now now...
Why can’t we simply enjoy this
He could run 3:20 by end of the season with that kind of improvement.
Just watched this race … totally ridiculous. If you ever wondered what it looks like to be maxed out on epo, this is it.
So he went from not even being olympic qualifier level with his times to potentially winning the Olympics in less than a year.
BTW: I wonder how Jakob or Mcsweyn are feeling about this…
When Jakob ran against him at 3000m at European Indoor in March, he simply jogged the whole thing and sprinted the last 200m. He was never worried about Katir (who finished 4th). Now, all of a sudden, he can’t keep up.
McSweyn is even further from keeping up with Katir.
Katir was a 3:36.59 guy last year, who had never made a Spanish team.
To put things into perspective, Eric Holt is a 3:36.6 guy. Do you think that Jakob is worried about Holt? Do you think that Holt will be running 3:28 next year?
I've been following his Instagram for over 2 years, the man puts in WORK> and he's damn fast.. dude is efficient and powerful and light on his feet a complete package.
Stud.

Tell us more about his package, Passant.
Without Mo Farah you guys needed someone else to whine about. I'm glad he emerged.
I doubt he beats Jakob if Timothy is not in the race. Still a class and strategic gap. Without Timothy, Jakob's confidence will soar and he'll risk the front end. Katir will sit behind him without recognizing that it's not exactly going to play out like trotting past McSweyn with ease.
But if Timothy is in the race Katir has a big chance for silver. Jakob will either be scared and sit too far back, or he'll attempt to run with Timothy and falter late.
Okay, now I sampled the thread. Katir is running the 5000 instead. Big deal. I'll leave my 1500 evaluation alone.

Holt is 26 so no. Katir did run 7:44 which is better than 3:36. Done without super spikes too. There’s a 20-year-old with a 3:35 PB I could see Jakob being worried about next year.
I’m sure there’re some on the circuit suspicious of Katir. Jakob would be interesting cuz they overlap but don’t really socialize at altitude.

You believe Mo Farah is clean? How naive can you be? Anybody associated with Jama Aden, who was freaking arrested after police discovered gym bags packed with EPO and syringes in his hotel room, is on drugs, 100% .
Awkward moments of silence between Katir and McSweyn following the race, which has been unusual for the Spaniard.
Spanish record one: Katir's giddy about his 1250 and cheerleads for Jacco Ingebrigtsen.
Spanish record number two: Katir is weirdly chummy with Cheruiyot.
Spanish record number three:

Were those drugs found in Spain or somewhere else?

If you look at his Instagram you can see that he had a ridiculous 8 pack 2 years ago. It looks like he was already doping with roids. He certainly was 'doing the work' back then. His Instagram gives no indication whatsoever that he 'only got serious' in the last 12 months. Yet in July last year he was failing to reach the Olympic qualifying standard of 3:36. Clearly been full throttling during the pandemic.
The encouraging thing about his Instagram is that it looks like not a single top athlete has started following him yet.

DEFAMATION

the act of defaming; false or unjustified injury of the good reputation of another, as by slander or libel; calumny:
"She sued the magazine for defamation of character."
Happens all the time on these boards - getting sued, I mean.
