You are obtuse to the point of hilarity to run cover for Africans - no one else - just Africans. Your general hatred for the US, well, that’s typical of your ilk, as is the urge to be contrarian. Drugs work, and literally every world class East African since ‘87 has been “to the gills”. It’s getting to the point where one has to wonder if you’re helping supply things to the cheats, and are trying to protect your livelihood.
I don’t think the Rekster hates Africans. He jumps in and has the same approach when it comes to non-Africans. You just see what you want to see.
Excuse me. I don’t think the Rekster favors Africans….I think you might hate Africans though.

Literally every world class East African? I only run cover for just Africans? I have a general hatred for the US?
Is playing the racist card just another game to try and smear me?
My memory may be starting to fade so this list is not exhaustive, but I do recall "running cover" under my handle "rekrunner" for Britain's Paula Radcliffe (and Sebastian Coe), USA's Shelby Houlihan, USA's Mary Decker Slaney, Norway's Erik Tysse, Ireland's Steven Colvert, Czech's Vojtech Sommer, Germany's Benedikt Karus, not to mention Switzerland's Simon Getzmann, and the general injustice of banning clean Russian athletes for the actions beyond their control of their federation and anti-doping organization and WADA Lab and an unofficial circle of the IAAF.
And if I hate the US so much, how can you explain my discussion of irregularities and holes in the cases of the Americans Bernard Lagat, Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin, and Issam Asinga? Because they are African-Americans? Well then, how about my repeated discussions of what Alberto Salazar and all of NOP athletes, including the non-African Americans, for the entirety of NOP's existence, were, and were not, found guilty of?
It's kind of predictable and disingenuous, if not inexcusably ignorant, to attempt to play the race card. I'm an equal opportunity coverer runner, when the facts are missing and/or ambiguous. It just happens that more baseless accusations are directed at the Africans, e.g. "literally every world class East African since '87 has been 'to the gills'". I mean seriously, do you mean literally literally or figuratively? Does this mean that World Cross Country before 1987 was indisputably clean?
The common denominator is my endless search for facts and data sometimes leads to contradictions with popular beliefs and myths.

Wreakrunner defends all dopers equally. Breezy missed 3 in a year... something must have been up, alpine skiers don't get targeted like that for no reason (although Vonn had a Canadian doping doctor for and went to Germany in the summer to train for some reason...)
Some people dont post here with fixed user names because with the time they become targeted by downvotes especially if they offend American and other European countries with their view.
In 3/4 years of experience I didn't see anything negative in Rekrunner posts.
Not much happening in the last 8 months, but congrats on all that experience. WR is plenty negative, as are his pretend clients

Last year I ignored for 8 months this site. People were talking during that time in this forum about "astronomical records" protected in the summer (that what I have read later).
Then the "The mountain has given birth to a mouse" ...
If you guys think the Kenyans are doing naughty things, wait until the lid pops off of ethiopia.
Yeah. I have never understood why the Ethiopians were given a pass when it was obvious so many of their runners were just as dirty as now we know the Kenyans are.
It’s obviously unsatisfying if this is the husband’s blunder most of all. Still, she has to be held accountable to some level if a doping officer went to her address and someone on her behalf blocked the test. It’s impossible for us to know if the husband went rogue or this was a tactic they agreed to beforehand, for instance. I’m OK with 2 years as a compromise here as it seems the DCO made some mistakes in their handling too.
Unsatisfying is an understatement, if this were indeed the case. Can you imagine if this were Shelby, and she had a moron boyfriend, and he said she is sleeping and you are not going to wake her up? I imagine the Brojos would be up in arms, and probably half the message board too. But again I don’t know the facts here.
I am confident that given their staunch defense of that idiotic burrito excuse, those people would mount a staunch- sleep is important let her sleep defense as well. They would provide sleep studies, create a gofundme page and even sell t-shirts....
Gault you should take a more hard line stance on doping. Why do you always believe the cheating athletes excuses?
Cheaters are always going to have an excuse prepared in case they test positive or they refuse to take test. Just like every criminal ever has an excuse. You are the biggest sucker in the world for believing those excuses.
Agreed. Lost all credibility with his staunch defense of that most idiotic burrito eating crap.

+1
And blame the Mexicans and the experts and the CAS panelists, without being racist, ignorant, or negative LOL
The myth of the East African "natural born runner" exposed as a sham yet again.
Are you sure? Maybe you should do some research on this. You sound like a rookie. I guess the whites just aren’t trying hard enough? Is that the issue?
The whites believe they are entitled. As is often the case, they are under the impression they can fail upwards as they often do simply because of their skin colour.

Agreed. Gault's legendary "you have a choice" what and whom to believe still cracks me up. So hilariously stupid.
LOL All the dope and syringes in the hotel raid are not enough?
even worse, not just that the slow walked it through the court system so that it would get lost over time, the Spanish courts ordered the evidence DESTROYED so that it could never get tested for the DNA.
We literally have a doping coach who doped an entire family of runners who dominated events for over a decade caught red handed hiding syringes and other doping trash with DNA on the needles... and nothing ever came of it.
Makes you want to give up. Just...give up.
Yeah. That was so weird when it was pretty obvious Geneze Dibaba had to be doped to the gills based on her performances and her immediate degradation in performance once he was arrested and banned.
For someone who "Doesn't know the facts" and "... have not read the rules" you sure seem to have a lot of opinions on the situation.
Thank you. My “opinions” are attempts to excavate the truth. Some of us are interested in the truth, not just to reflexively join a mob in disparaging a black woman.
She disparaged the sport by using drugs. She should be banned for life.
Are you asking me, or the one you chose to believe?
I guess if "smart" means having no choice what or whom to believe, I'm not sure we have the same understanding of what you are asking.
Don't try to distract. We are talking about a specific doping case here. Going by evidence - like CAS, the AIU and WA - is a lot smarter than going by belief, not to mention going by choosing whom to believe, like Gault said he did.

Oy vey, talk about entitlement. Such projection you provide.

But, you do you.
I will agree with you that going by evidence is smarter. Now you are preaching to the choir.
But did the CAS do the smart thing in this specific doping case? It looks like the CAS Panel chose to believe one set of expert opinions over another, when the evidence before them was incomplete and/or ambiguous and/or inconclusive.
Doesn't that render the CAS hilariously stupid?
Furthermore, since the smart thing is to consider the evidence, is there any evidence that oral ingestion of nandrolone in low amounts, can improve endurance performance, as so many track fans choose to believe?
Is there evidence of such doping with low amounts of ingested nandrolone before the American records and Diamond League victories, as so many track fans choose to believe?
Is it smart, or hilarously stupid, to conclude that these American records were doped and/or only possible through doping?
Or was Gault ultimately right that "If you are a track fan, you have a choice." "It is the choice you make, every day, consciously or unconsciously, to be excited or cynical, elated or frustrated."
