She was 100% correct and should not have deleted the posts. Doping should be criminalized everywhere and it is more rampant in Kenya than anywhere except maybe Russia.
People need to stop deleting perfectly legitimate post just because there's a backlash. Grow some balls.
I don't think that is advisable under the new WA rules regarding transgender and DSD athletes.

Not sure if anyone's been following along on twitter, but Sara Hall hasn't had a good week on the platform. Post Zane Robertson doping case she:
1. Posted a tweet stating that they need to criminalize doping in Kenya. After she received healthy backlash (just Kenya??? Zane is from NZ and made a choice!!) she deleted the tweet.
2. Then she wrote about how we need to criminalize doping everywhere.
3. Then she posted and deleted another tweet where she wrote that in her 25 years, she hasn't seen any doping and rest assured that most people are "doing it the right way". She also doubled down on her Kenya bashing, saying it happens more in Iten. For this she received a sound thrashing. Points were made like: Doping is rampant, what are you talking about. Why are you just blaming Iten, have you heard of Nike? and then finally:
Your progression is weird Sara. You've been running a lot your whole life. How is it that you are still PR'ing into your late 30s?
And now in this article, she stated that she is in Ethiopia for a final tune up in training. Ethiopia. Why Ethiopia? Why during March when her kids have school and whatnot? Why when she already lives at altitude in the US? What do we make of her comments and her current location now?
I'm not going to come out and say what I want to say, but I'll say this. There are a lot of complaining about the letsrun doping polls and what not. People say it's mean and cruel and whatever. But what are we supposed to do when athletes do stuff like this? Believe them blindly and be quiet? What's actually going on here? what compelled her to place so much blame on Kenya?
I hope Sara is clean. But I'm not going to sit around and pretend I don't have two eyes that see. I remember an interview with Molly Seidel (who is one of the few athletes I would be willing to bet is clean). All starry eyed in the interview, Seidel marveled over the intensity of training Hall could do and said something to the effect "I'm 28 now--I wonder what 10 more solid years of training will get me, and seeing Sara, it makes me excited to see how good I'll be in 10 years!" in the past, it would be common knowledge that 38 is well past your prime. I hope Molly is not being fooled.
Cant agree. She is pissed like a lot of people who do this for a living. She shares an opinion with a great many. She may rethink a tweet or 2. Doesnt make her crazy.
Sara's husband and coach is totally on drugs but she's not. Try to keep up.
he uses his enhanced physique to sell supplements/powders even through his real trick is pharmaceuticals.
you guys are free to believe her 2:20 and 1:07 were done clean if you want, but i don't buy it.
Criminalizing athlete doping would then open the door towards criminalizing the slander that false accusers on letsrun love to dish out. So, I think that would be a good move.
Did she tweet anything after Shelby was suspended?
If there was a 39 year old kenyan runner setting PR's Letsrun would be falling over itself to make accusations, but not our American girls. Lol. All of these late 30's early 40's marathon women are sus. "I race all the time and never get tired and PR every time and it just happens to be an American record, happy 40th everyone!". Please.
Gee, why should we ban Kenya, which came thisclose to getting banned for widespread doping violations within the last few months? LOLL. The fact that you think the race card is going to work is amusing. You are an apologist trying to forestall criticism. Too bad.

Ban the transgressors individually OK. But because of your racism you want to paint the black athlete as dirty so you can ban them all. Educate yourself.
Sinead Diver wants a word...
I don't understand why the AIU, or WADA, or whoever is in charge of doping control, can't go find her at this camp in Ethiopia and test her there, and now.

There are no circumstances that would make me believe that Sara would ever cross the line into real doping. She is a very religious and moral person. They have taken poor children into their home.
Not that I disagree with you - but literally all Ethiopian runners are extremely religious Orthodox Christians and religious worship plays a significant role in their lives. I hope you extend the same trust in them that you do Sara……
Sara hall also has been seen training in dragonfly’s on ig within the past year
is possible that she gets boosts inadvertly when having "cuddle time" with ryan?
and i mean really cosy times...
yeah, the ethiopia trip is strange giving that its war n overall shaky times there....
wud not go to eth even if u paid me
There is a thread on this site 20 years old where someone said there was no chance Alberto would be involved in any scandals because he is a religious man from an immigrant Cuban family. This was in reference to Athletics West
These big names dropping from races are rattled.

There are some suspect American women, but Hall is not at the top of my list. She's been training consistently for decades and runs high mileage. Her London performance was a big jump, but that's the first time we saw her in supershoes.
People suddenly running pro times on 80-mile weeks are much more suspicious, though it's possible that they're getting enormous benefits from the shoes.
