I agree. And, as I’ve posted before, Henrik Ingebrigtsen was flagged as “likely doping” on the Fancy Bears leak.
If Henrik is cheating for fast times, then why did he regress and become slower than his 2 younger brothers?
The fact is that Henrik Ingebrigtsen was flagged as “likely doping”.
https://www.letsrun.com/news/2017/07/say-aint-fancy-bears-hack-reveal-many-track-fields-biggest-stars-likely-doping-see-latest-fancy-bears-documents/Maybe he would have been even slower than his brothers had he not taken drugs. Or regressed further. Or not have had as high of a peak. Maybe his brothers were better responders to said drugs. But H. Ingebrigtsen’s performances are not the question here- it is whether he was using PEDs to achieve said performances. We are living in an era where a 2:33 marathon guy recently are got busted for EPO (and cardarine, DNP, and ephedrine). Drugs need to be eliminated from athletics- regardless of the quality of performance. And, all things considered, H. Ingebrigtsen is still running elite times.
Remember, “likely doping”, as the name indicates, means that “it is likely that the Passport is the result of the Use of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method and it is highly unlikely that it may be the result of a normal physiological or pathological condition”
