Yeah it seems from this that the coach is highly aware that his athletes are considering the substance in question and can easily get it in Spain/Morocco.

If I was you I would care of the 4 Kenyans listed in AIU February list.
(in the last 3 years there were no more than 2 bust in Morocco local most of them aged runners)
I'd reckon these very poor countries would better spend money on stuff like improved education and healthcare before channeling it to sports. Kenyan Male life expectancy 58 years. Morocco isn't in East Africa, regardless
Correction : Kenya life expectancy 62.6 in 2020, but I guess that's male/female combined. Women live longer. Factor in a lot of infant mortality, malaria deaths, etc ..skew these numbers. I saw very fit farmers in their mid 60s in Iten. Your point, however, is well taken.
Ethiopia life expectancy= 65 years, combined, 3 years higher than Kenya.
Serrano also coached Alessandra Aguilar, 5th in the World Champs marathon in 2013 having been suspended the year before.
Fair point. I missed that, heptaminol a stimulant and she served a brief ban. I think there are ex EPO ex athletes coaching/managing within the federation (not naming any, and none of them were caught) but I don't think serrano is one. His book is a fine read for athletes and coaches.
That refce to Mostaza saying dopers should get up to 4th chance, if correctly stated, is madness and surely goes against WA policy though he is a big agent in the sport. Gives a terrible message to clean athletes he may manage.
Oumaiz is I think about same age as Ilias Fifa when he was caught so can prepare for his future career post ban, annoyingly.
Doping is rife in Spain. Just see how complicit the country is itself in concealing Operacion Puerto, where they never released many of the names. I ran with a Spanish collegian whose brother was a cyclist training at the national training camp and he insisted that they were all doping. When they all had a doping doctor and they covered it up, that should have told you all you needed to know. It is not confined to Moroccan born athletes in Spain by any means. There was a story here recently about Spain's doping agency alerting athletes to doping checks and suppressing positive tests. You can believe it.

Look first in the dirtiness at your home.
I am not Kenyan. Nor did anyone bring up Morocco unprompted (his coach indicated it was where his athlete was busted). Morocco has not had many busts recently. But they only have 1 elite male track athlete (El Bakkali), so that part is not an enviable situation.
So what the point Oumaiz is pretty an unknown name.
Katir pi_ed on your heroes and got the bronze medal at Oregon in your sacred distance.
Hi rekrunner!
Yes he is only the national champion, and a 13:06 sucker. You are getting more and more boring and predictable 😴
Sorry -- wasn't me. I can understand if it is boring and predictable for anonymous posters like you to be wrong again.
If it were me, I would have compared Oumaiz to the historical performances of Spanish runners like Alberto Garcia, and Jesús España from the pre-supershoes era, and his 5K national record from 2020 to the World Best time from 1992.

Indeed that original didn't pretend that doping didn't help that drug cheat, so it was not you.
Oumaiz was second after Jakob in an U20 X country EC some few years ago. He was in the 5000m final in Budapest.
Oumaiz is Spanish, born in Spain, ok Jakob?
Leave your Scandinavian supremacy out of this.
If El Bakkali was a bit more potent like Girma, I can tell you Jakob would have his darkest days. He is probably the most professional runner active these latest years.
He recall of Aouita who always said that running was a way to earn his living and chase poverty.
Unfortunately the new generation (I'm looking at you Jawad Khchina) disappoint me a lot.
So what the point Oumaiz is pretty an unknown name.
National 5K Record Holder National 5000m Champion National 5000m Silver Medalist World Champs 5000m Finalist Top 20 at World XC Top 25 at Euro XC Competed at World Road Champs National U20 1500m Champion Euro XC U20 Silver Medalist
so basically nothing.
Just Google LRC ... you will find almost zero topic about his name in the last 5 years.

Once again -- while you are correct to see an obvious difference, you still display the general ignorance that often mischaracterizes my "pretenses", which are mostly about "blood-doping" for the "fastest" world class distance runners -- especially for those already training at high-altitude, an environment which naturally stimulates EPO and RBC production.
When I took a closer look at "top" times during nearly three decades of the EPO-era, until 2018, the historical performance data suggested that EPO didn't help the progression of the fastest times all that much (if at all) for "non-Africans" from "5-contintents" for nearly three decades. But in this case of Oamaiz:
- He is of North African descent, several of which improved to ~12:50.
- He was caught with "GHRP-2" -- which I recently saw someone suggest is "like rocket fuel for a distance runner".
- His best time of 13:06.42 would have been too slow to be considered in my "top" 5000m calculations -- more than 4 seconds slower than 13:02.078; As I look today, Oamaiz's 13:06.42 is outside of the top-1000 performances coming in at an even 1100. I generally haven't commented on performances outside the top-1000.
