LAWRENCE CHERONO and RANDOLPH ROSS PROVISIONALLY SUSPENDED

Man, that men's 1500m semi with the two Kenyans and the Moroccan at the back were testemant to the AIU and improved testing. Two Kenyans not even able to get out of the first round, and Tim looking like a shadow of his former self. Keep in mind that the Manangois couldn't even make the Kenyan team.

*First round heat

Yeah they shelled out the dough for Carlson, no need to feel bad. He's making >$300K

3 Kenyans made it through…not surprising that the athlete in Simotwo who was only selected due to testing requirements ruling out more in-form athletes did not. Tim looked fine to me aside from nearly falling.

Yeah but facts don't matter to Coevett.

Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Remember dad was caught up in and suspended as part of the big Balco scandal.

why is a lab in switzerland taking 47 days to test and report?

i use a lab in china and they get results back to me within a week - guaranteed.

So when is the AIU going to go after the Ethiopians?

For years? How long has Ross been in the testing pool?

What makes you think Ethipians dope?

Anyway, the folks at AIU are busy. Cut them some slack. Like any other governmental or quasi-governmental agency, it takes them twice as long to do what a normal person or organization would do to perform the same task.

Sorry to hear this news.

Allegedly, it was the Lausanne lab, not AIU, that was too slow. However, it's summer, and staffing issues are widespread.

Thank god for the AIU otherwise who would keep the Americans and their dirty USADA honest?

Hotel messes up your hotel arrangements and you miss USADA, BAM ! USADA: "tampering". Newspapers: "doping".

Traffic on the highway, BAM ! USADA: "tampering". Newspapers: "doping".

He was busted by AIU not USADA. Nice try tho.

Yes, and traffic and hotel issues would lead to a whereabouts failure, IF one fails to notify USADA, not tampering. Plus, one can afford two such whereabouts screw-ups within any twelve month period (but zero tampering offenses).
