Kenyans are the most tested athletes BY THE IAAF.
The IAAF only carries out OOC in countries that are not trusted or able to carry about their own programme of anti-doping.
Therefore, American, Aussies, Western Europeans, etc are not subject to IAAF OOC testing.
This is why Kenyans are often called 'the most tested nation'.
Although, Jamaica is normally called 'the most tested nation' depending on which fanboys you're discussing it with.
Simple question wrote:
It has been stated that Kenyan distance runners are the most tested runners. What is the percentage of out of competition testing that has been done vs. in competition testing. I have only heard of US and European cheats being caught in out of competition tests. Does anyone know?
That was in response to this post, by the way.
AK should be pissed at how crappy of an Olympic trials process they have. Excluding some of the best runners on the planet from not competing in the trials is redonkulous. Probably will leave Koech off of the team again in the steeple.

Are you aware that Kenya is very good in women's volleyball, vricket and Rugby seven a side?
What's 'vricket'?
Is it like vriathlon? Because I love vriathlon.

Kenyans cheat, they use EPO, are you happy now?
Quite the opposite, you're sapping all the fun out of this.
Please retract that last comment.

Kenyans are the most tested, that is a bad thing, Kenyans are not tested enough, that is a bad thing. Kenyans use EPO, I am not saying Kenyans use EPO. These are the people who are out to malign Kenya and they don't care about the facts. Kenyans are going to rule middle and long distane running and there is nothing you can do about it. Think anyway you want and lets do what we do best.

You're the one that doesn't listen to facts, and responds to posts whilst tearful without actually comprehending what is being said to you.
1. Kenya are NOT the most tested: They're the most tested by the IAAF (well, Jamaica fanboys say the same thing about Jamaica, but hey I'll give you it because the bottom lip is trembling again.)
2. Kenyans are not tested enough: Yes, I agree. IAAF carried out 14 blood tests AROUND THE WORLD in 2010 out of competition. The only remotely reliable way of catching a EPO/blood doper. How many of those were in Kenya? Even if it's all of them (which it's not.) it's hardly going to catch anyone.
UK anti doping, for example, does many more tests in a year (of British athletes only) than the IAAF does in an entire year out of competition. So to suggest that Kenya gets tested more than Britain is a fallacy. I'm sure many other countries are the same.
3. Kenya is going to rule middle and long distance: Along with Ethiopia and other countries that purchase Africans I agree. I've never said any different. If you'd actually read anything I've wrote whilst not being all emotional and angry, you'd notice that I've always said that East Africans are not dominant in running because of doping, they would be in charge anyway even if nobody doped.
Does this make sense to you, or are you still crying?

While I completely agree with your previous posts, you are funnily wrong here. Did you check the times that their non-African rivals run? Did you check the current state of middle distances? Very illuminating.
Either this report is correct or out of 200+ nations, only Kenyans have figured out how to cheat in middle and long distance running. I can accept the notion that it is immpossible to say with 100% certainity that no Kenyan athlete cheats, but to say it is widespred is outrageous! Unless one can show that Kenyans are more morally corrupt than other humans from other countries, this case holds not water. In fact, logic should hold that if catching EPO or similar substance doppers is a challenge for athletic organizations, then almost everyone (including Kenyans) is doping but the difference is that Kenyans and Ethiopians are dopping and winning while others countries are doping and still can't win!! The argument that EPO is readily available in Kenya would be true for almost all African countries and others young nations like Kenya, where drugs and other substances are not effectively controlled as in most of Europe & North America. Morever, even in these countries where there is tight control of these substances, elite athletes with enough money can access these substances legally or illegally. In fact, developed nations are always one step ahead in developing and systematically using substances that are yet to be banned. How many performance enhancing drugs have been invented/developed in Kenya or any other African nation for that matter? You can't explain away Kenyan and Ethiopian dominance in middle & long distance by doping.
