POD!
We've made up a bunch of crap that isn't true, just to get you all excited, and especially to promote our personal agendas.

Yeah, really BroJos, you ought to be careful writing stuff like this. It seems obvious that you are implicating Farah, before any alledged offences have even been brought forward by any reputable sources for you to comment on/report and before any evidence against Farah has come out.
Why can't the article be about athletes that Aden has trained such as the Dibaba's, Souleiman and Haroun who both set indoor WRs this year and maybe Makhloufi who rose from being little known to Olympic champion under Aden. They are bigger stories. What will happen to them?
Surely you realise that the likelihood of Farah being implicated in this case is quite slim. Even if he is guilty, it is easy for him to claim coincidence/ignorance given how Aden was never his actual coach. Especially if he doesn't test positive and wasn't there during the raid. Everyone in your photographs can simply say they didn't know Aden was doping some of his athletes. EPO injections into your stomach fat are really quite easy to do in the bathroom in privacy.

Why would we need state sponsored doping when we have a corporate sponsored state?
Brilliant. And my .02, it's more about training groups than the state around here (Dennis Mitchell, John Smith...)
dont be so naive metric....if you think some scrub mo all the sudden became a world beater at 28 and started dropping KB like it was nothing and running a 3:28 all natural.....is asinine!!
mo is one of the biggest track and field lance armstrongs since Marion Jones!
he is protected by UK fully 100% just like paula, and seb coe is now in charge, you think he will let Mo go down? not in your life.
no one makes huge drops in time in their late 20's and continues on like that, except regina jacobs...oh and she got popped haha

And a woman.
Plus she was good all her life and didn't make any huge drops.
Personally I admire Regina.

I've received more texts on that article congratulating me than any other. in a while. Also received an email from a British journalist saying nice job on it.
We didn't implicate Farah. It is already well known he associates with Aden. They're both born in Somalia. We pointed out he tweeted he was on one place than he actually is. It is what it is, but should be noted.
Same thing with the Nike connections.
I got an email today essentially saying "Imagine if Nike cared as much about clean sport as they do about the Boris Berian contract." The sport would be very different. Not that Nike knew what was going on , but they may not care. It doesn't take much to start asking Driouch who doped you? And see who was coaching him when he tested positive and start asking questions. If Nike is asking these questions then they need to publicize it more.

Now THAT is a worthy quote. Can you attribute?

El Keniano wrote: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.
Not the best comparison -- regardless of what may or may not have happened with Salazar, Mary Slaney is still probably the most talented US middle distance runner ever -- maybe even ahead of Ryun.

Today, we look at some of the connections between Aden and the sport's biggest names like Genzebe Dibaba, Tirunesh Dibaba, Mo Farah, and Nike and wonder what type of impact, if any, the scandal will have on them. We also reveal for the first time in the English press that Mo Farah trained in Sansabell, Spain in 2014, a fact his agent didn't even know, but claimed to be more than 100 miles away in France. Why?
How much weight are you putting on that tweet of Mo? Is there any chance that Mo has a social media team who tweet, and post images, and get their connections wrong? Simply post a photo of Mo that they received recently with a blurb like that?
I'm not making excuses, but I wouldn't, at all, be surprised if that tweet doesn't mean a thing at all. If Mo does all his own tweets (I'd imagine he does not), then it would be odd, but still not unreasonable.

No, Mo is on a mission to destroy himself.
Did they find HGH in this? Some of the involved athletes look remarkably different than a few years ago. More masculine and larger jawlines. Coincidence?
BAN THE ENTIRE DIDOPER CLAN! THEY ARE STINKING DRUG CHEATS! BAN THEM NOW! TAKE AWAY THEIR RECORDS. ERASE THEM FROM THE HISTORY BOOKS!!!!!!!
Insider information indicate Tirunesh Dibaba and her sister Ejigu are two of the three not tested(27 of 30 athletes tested) and that their presence was just a coincidence. But how shocking that was? I wonder if their 10000m race is still scheduled for tomorrow, whether the two will participate and whether Genzebe will still be pacing them as someone earlier revealed. I guess by end of tomorrow we will know by checking if there is any results.
Oromiya, are you in Ethiopia? How is this playing there? What are they saying?
his times are not that impressive, except in the 1500m He has never
been under 12:50/26:40 and has never been in shape to drop such times.
KB, HG could do it in their sleep!!

It's funny, this is eerily reminiscent of Lance's fanboys and their insistence that the press was "out to get him." And in that case who turned out to be right? It must be sad to be so gullible.

The articles were informative and good. The one place I see a slant/stretch to tie someone in is with Salazar. You really think it is noteworthy or worth reporting that there is an email discussing workouts? It's a connection, but a complete stretch to anything related to the case at hand.
The 800 race in Barcelona is cancelled. From a guys instagram yesterday:"Race in Barcelona cancelled. Happened some things just outside Barcelona yesterday with people who had with my race to do. However, got a good workout in instead and now back home, preparing for a 1500 next week."

I think people would live a happier life being gullible than cynical.
This is nothing like Lance. There are no smoking guns (yet) with Mo. There are no teammates getting busted, no former teammates pointing fingers.
There is mainly just guilt by association.
