Everyone is on stuff. Everyone here is just to pretentious to believe it.
You must think Spanish Moroccans and Kenyans have IQs of goldfish to keep getting caught when everybody is doping.
Another Spanish Moroccan banned today.
A Disciplinary Tribunal has banned Youssef Taoussi (Spain) for 4 years from 2 July 2024 for Presence/Use of a Prohibited Substance (Roxadustat). DQ results from 24 May 2024 Details here: https://t.co/O1PMRMvZm4

just because someone hides from the testers, engages in tampering and gets a four year ban doesn't mean he was doping.
All it means is he broke the testing rules. You can be a non-doper and still do that. A microdoser might, just out of pure caution.
Anyhow, the point is Katir had true grit, giving 110% effort all the way through a 5000m. You may not want to admit this to yourself, but next time you race you may realize it's true: the runners ahead of you aren't just faster, and mostly aren't doped. They are trying harder than you.
As hard as you think you're trying, there are people who can try way harder than that, and Katir's one of them.
Thanks rekrunner, now tell us his ban was based on presumptions.
His ban was based on testing rules. There is no presumption of doping, it's just a rules thing.
But what I'm really telling you, and you're too dumb to listen, is that he tried harder than other elites. That's why he reached the top. The entire field is probably oozing from the gills, but they don't all try hard.
It was already bad enough how western liberals have tried to co-opt Mandela’s legacy from his socialist, anti-colonial politics (because the ANC abandoned it radical land reform calls in the 90s, but I digress) , but now running dopers are getting in on the game too?
Funniest post I've seen all week. The lack of self-awareness is incredible. It seems like Katir disabled comments but I created an account just to like it and follow him. Hope he starts a series comparing himself to different people. Maybe MLK or Gandhi next?
