LRC note. We added in to the title that she trained in Cheptegei's camp as this is much more newsworthy than your average run of the mill doping bust. the same thing was true last year when someone in Kipchoge's camp was banned.
There was a thread titled “I don’t trust a runner like Cheptegei.”
Anyone know why it was deleted?
Because you’re not allowed to talk about cheating here, unless you’re the brojos putting up a “clean or dirty” cheat speculation poll. Makes a lot of sense.
A lot of doping threads have been deleted by a mod recently, including the famous Katir thread. Not sure the Brojos even know who their moderators are let alone which of them is the doping apologist deleting threads.
Andy Ruiter also coached Ronald Musalaga, who turned into a world beater in 2019 for one year only and many here had him as an outside bet for the gold medal in Doha.
To be fair, he publicly expressed surprise at this woman when she ran 4:01 - as per the LetsRun article I linked to.
Judging from this Ugandan article, anti-doping testing in Uganda is a joke. It appears the first WADA testers only arrived for the first time this year, only stayed for 2 days, and their stay was widely publicised beforehand with 100 Ugandan athletes 'declaring their intention to be tested'.
So there appears to be no random out of competition testing in Uganda. No wonder European managers and coaches descended on the place as soon as testing got improved in Kenya and stars like Kieplimo, Mussalagaga, and Cheptegai immediately staryed appearing.
“We are happy to have them around for two days [Friday, July 27, and Saturday, July 28], and I can confirm that athletes are willing to embrace the exercise,” Chelangat said.
No-one desiring of using PEDs and evading drug tests is using products where 19-norandrosterone is a metabolite. 19-nor stays in the system for ages. It's a stretch to say they are both PED users and stupid, willing to play fast and loose with clearance times. I don't buy it. Inconvenient trust, I appreciate.

It is quite absurd that Wikipedia says the following “Traces of 19-norandrosterone may be naturally present in human urine. An experiment conducted on athletes showed that after a prolonged intense effort, the 19-norandrosterone concentration can be increased by a factor varying between 2 and 4,[3] but another study failed to replicate the result.[4] Concentration also increases in the urine of female athletes during menstruation.[5] The consumption of edible parts of a non-castrated pig, containing 19-nortestosterone, has been shown to result in the excretion of 19-norandrosterone in the following hours, so athletes should prudently avoid meals composed of pig offal in the hours preceding doping tests.[6] Consumption of boar meat, liver, kidneys and heart also increased 19-norandrosterone output.[7]”

Average OOC tests for Uganda athletes at Worlds (3), and for Top 8 athletes (4.5). Not the highest numbers but also not what you are insinuating.
Everyone is aware of the flaws in the systems of slowly reacting to emerging athletes and getting them in the AIU/countries' OOC system. Fortunately Chemusto has been caught before any major issues there.
Now, Ronald Musugala. Yes, he had a career year in 2019 and went from 3:33.65 to 3:30.58. But is this really some crazy smoking gun. Assuming the super spikes had some sort of impact (1 second?) there like most of us do, and it's about a 2-second improvement in his first year running in super-fast Diamond Leagues as opposed to meets like the FBK Games/Marseille. Shall we hold George Mills and Matt Stonier to your new standards and say they are now very suspicious because they are 3:30-31 runners from a 3:33-34 level? Sorry, I'm just not seeing this one. Also nobody had Musagala as a bet for a gold medal in Doha with Tim smoking him. Yes, he was considered in the medal mix.

I don't pay much attention to the doping talk around here. But the two countries that immediately draw my suspicion are Uganda and Bahrain. It screams as flight to lookaways.
Bahrain even had an equine doping scandal recently with a world championship taken away.
Just the classic story of being mediocre followed by suddenly elite performances. And then explanations like the gushing Letsrun article for why she did never showed elite potential before. "Lack of training." "injury". It was so obvious.
A Libyan military band tried to perform the British national anthem for the arrival of Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson as he arrived in Benghazi.Please subsc...
Ugandan Janet Chemusto - part of Joshua Cheptegei's camp - busted
We added in to the title that she trained in Cheptegei's camp as this is much more newsworthy than your average run of the mill doping bust. the same thing was true last year when someone in Kipchoge's camp was banned.
As I don't remember threads, posted by LRC, like the following, does anyone?
American Shelby Houlihan - part of Shalane Flanagan's camp - busted
American Shelby Houlihan - part of Evan Jager's camp - busted
American Shelby Houlihan - part of Centro's camp - busted
It's pretty simple. Shelby was the top threat in Bowerman to win a medal by the time she was busted, Flanagan was retired and Jager was just too injured (don't start with Centrowitz). Wouldn't you laugh if you saw an article that said "Eliud Kipchoge - part of Philemon Kacheran's camp - busted"?
