I only deny doping when athletes are innocent.

The difference is I presume that athletes are innocent until proven guilty.

But when they are caught doping you say that it didn't improve their performance anyway.

Either way, you're always on the side of the cheat.

Yes, the Kenyan doping problem is an apparent systemic issue, but in terms of how the word "systematic" was used in media in regards to doping in Russia and formerly in the former East Germany and perhaps former Czechoslovakia, it is not systematic in Kenya.

Or appears to not be systematic anyway. The use of the word systematic is about a regime forcing athletes to dope. If you read the Russian Affair by whistleblower Vitaly Stepanov he gives you some evidence of where if you want the best camps and best coaching, you have to dope, otherwise, you get second or third level coaching et al.....

Similarly, a proving performance benefit is a completely different question -- one that WADA doesn't require asking or answering.

Looking at Barsosio's progression since 2017, she has steadily declined -- unsurprising for an athlete in their mid to late 30s. When should the alleged ABP violations have improved her performance?

I'm consistenly in favor of sanctioning proven intentional dopers.

Even plain English is beyond you. You "show" by your comments you are one of those who falls into the rekrunner camp of doping denial.

No, darling. As usual you have trouble understanding plain English.

I understood your "line". I just pointed out how childish your little post-ending insults are.

Understood now? Good boy 🦴
