BREAKING:Jama Aden's hotel in Spain raided.

The Dibabas don't dope. The seized EPO must be for other weak Athletes.

Don't get too excited. They will be proved clean.

Regarding the Farah angle, Metric Miler, Tony the Tiger and other Britishers are in denial phase of the stages of grief. Any sane person can see his long history and friendship with the juicer is, at the very least, a smoking gun.

I wasn't aware that Andorra could be considered a PED haven -- that's news.From that "slate" article, it looks like the smuggling in Andorra is tax-free cigarettes, alcohol -- something important for Europeans. But drugs can't be excluded -- well nothing can really:"... tobacco, weapons, cars, American-made coin-op jukeboxes, and everything else that can possibly be bought and sold."Regarding illegal drugs, Andorra is not the place to be caught:https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/andorra/local-laws-and-customs"Andorra applies a zero tolerance policy to the possession and use of illegal drugs."Even performance enhancing drugs do not escape investigation and prosecution, as 60 athletes, including 42 cyclists, multisport athletes, bodybuilders, a motorcycle racer and kayaker, found out:"http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/doping-ring-busted-in-andorra/"

The hotel where Jama Aden and his athletes stay in whilst training in Spain, Sabadell (close to Andorra) has been raided by the police. Apparently IAAF alerted the police.

An Mo Farah is just a few kilometers away from Andorra in Font-Romeu in France. Andorra is a tiny country and a prime smuggling location.

"Farah, who on Monday [June 6, 2016] heads to Font-Romeu in the Pyrenees for altitude training..."

Our first of many articles about the Aden doping raid is now published:

Not sure if you care about this, but you should probably replace "Los Mossos’s d’Esquadra" with "the Mossos d'Esquadra". ("Los" is the Spanish for "the", but "Mossos d'Esquadra" is Catalan and "els" is the Catalan for "the"; and anyway it is not part of the name.)

Nonsense. Lord Coe has vouched for Mo. Remember that the IAAF has seen all his tests. He is proven to be clean!

Aden knew he was being investigated (many of us had heard so too), and yet Epo and steroids are found in the sting. #greed

I can't believe they were this lazy. Criminals get lazy. I would think he would never have the drugs on him. But I guess he figured it was safer than trusting someone else. The only way he gets caught here is with a police raid. In America and most countries, he'd be safe as doping isn't a crime.

I don't think it was really laziness. I think that the testing and overall measures taken against doping in track and field have been so lax to the extent that many athletes and coaches have not really felt much need to be very cautious about covering up their doping practices, even when they are aware some sort of "investigation" is going on.

This is only the second police raid on track and field athletes that I can recall. The other, Operation Greyhound, also in Spain but focused on Spanish athletes, took place way back in 2010.

In contrast, Tour de France cyclists such as Armstrong had seen several police raids take place on riders' hotel rooms or homes with riders banned from racing as a result of the police findings. As a consequence they became quite sophisticated in covering up all traces of their doping practices.

Everyone who knows me knows I'm a "wait and see" kind of guy, but even I'm afraid this association is not looking very good for Genzebe Dibaba at this moment. Let's wait and see what comes out from the testing, and other investigations.

Just a reminder that we need to remember everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

IAAF says it has been working this investigation since 2013:-

Whilst I understand the usual anti-Farah brigade coming out in their droves here, it would certainly not be good for Mo to have had any association with Aden.

Dibaba is the one with the most to lose here, even if just by reputation. Whilst the links to Mo are relatively limited, the links to her are explicit and clear.

However, we should wait and see, but given that this is a potentially criminal matter this could well rumble on for some time yet.

Kudos to the Peruvian David Torrence for this brave and smart act of whistle-blowing.

Calling Torrence Peruvian is like calling Stephen Cherono Qatarian. He has never represented Peru in any competition. He has represented the USA on the international level as well as grown up and went to college in the US.

Lord Coe really is starting to come through in spite of the criticism and hate he gets here. And I have to say Farah's first reaction distancing himself is both predictable and flimsy.

Lord Coe? According to the IAAF: "The arrest today of distance running coach Jama Aden, followed a lengthy investigation by the IAAF which began in 2013, working in close cooperation with Interpol, the Spanish authorities including the Spanish National Anti-Doping Agency (AEPSAD), Spanish police and other organisations."

I consider this quite noteworthy:

1) This started under the leadership of Diack, who is known to accept bribes to cover up doping. So either Aden didn't want to pay (enough), or Diack didn't dare to mess with Interpol.

2) Again, this whole episode is a good point as to why doping (and/or administering) should be considered as a crime. No crime, no Interpol. Unfortunately WADA and UKAD etc. are vehemently opposed to that - so far Coe was too, wasn't he? Strange.

3) Since 2013? Sad, as this means that the Aden group continued to win worldchampionships and attain world records under the watchful eyes of IAAF and Interpol.

Farah, yeah well. Highly suspicious progression (from an also-ran to the world beater at age 28), Salazar (Slaney), Aden... Rekrunner will claim that that's all coincidental. Actually Metric Miler already did.

Lol. That from you - must be your first time to act logical on this forum.

So are you admitting to trolling on the various Paula threads, or is that simply your patriotism shining through here?

+1

But even if they'd find her to be a doper now, she'd keep her wins and world records (unless someone starts talking...) - the rules are designed to be that stupid.

The dibaba's sisters (Tirunesh & Ejegayehu) showed up Sunday in Sabadell camp to get ready for a 10000m on the track on wednesday night in Barcelona. Genzebe was supposed to be the pacemaker for her 2 sisters.

so the iaaf have been following this since 2013

calling bullshit ..........simply covering tracks .

what about chronic igf-1 use in track

when that bubble bursts will they have followed

that since 2005 too. like steroids new records creates money ,interest.

did they follow steroid use since the early 60's to

till decided to do something

i know this bad example as all new then but now no excuse

as doping is supposed to be enemy number 1 and

zero tolerance and stop now not 3- 4 years later

lies and more lies is all that get .

they were exposed by external force not within

the NIKE / wada / iaaf Cabal that have a tight grip on track

just like behind scenes in US or EU government

where rich global corporations are doing alot of the dealings .

NIKE inc . lobby the likes of seb coe and wada head (forget name yes dick )

to do exactly as they say

follow the money and all leads back to the track corporations

addidas ,nike et cetera . but all recent shenanigans go back to nike

( "the tick of the beast " ,cornered market. )

through especially wada and iaaf .

bought and paid for ,where ya keeping the money seb

NIKE inc

do what is best for business,fast times ,records ,stars destroying field etc

what to test for and what not .

like refusal to bring in isotope test for testosterone . or that peptide......

and banning meldonium came from within nike elite and down chain to wada

yes someone from russia or eastern europe explained why using / exposed

dont mean russia are in on act just some one with motive or otherwise

gets a cut or dislike for russia ,many ex soviet states.

why explained before and very relevant to aden's group

as what they were using it and why cant race until cleared from body

and " if iaaf been following them since 2013 " why cover that up

and give them free pass.

worse still as said now have similar chemical doing rounds.

NIKE has modern track bought and paid for . do as your told .el fascismo.

Sounds plausible. With the ongoing development, I really feel for Genzebe whether she tests positive or not because her talent has never been in doubt. She would still be a strong contender for gold in Rio without use of any banned substance and could run 3:54 - 3:55. I guess she trusted this pervert predator without using her head. Now her presence in Aden's group has soiled the entire Dibaba family and the extended family of Derartu Tulu and others who are all very well respected for their natural talent.
