She lost the 1500, beaten by Muir. And she had her 10k WR broken immediately by someone else. And lost many times to Faith Kipyegon.

If they put serious talent in the 5k rather than a set up for Hassan there is a chance she would lose also.

The only way she loses to ANYBODY in a 5k is a bad night for her, or she kills herself going for the WR, and the others sit back and snipe her. If she is just racing for the win, she is almost unbeatable in that distance.

I don't understand why people think Hassan is obviously doping. Her 5k just showed she is human. She lost the 1500 at the Olympics, her favourite event.

This site is full of such salty people. When races are slow people complain that they aren't entertained, when they are fast the best are accused of doping. Just don't watch or commentate on the sport.

In your world, if someone is found "not guilty" of a crime, it means he/she is still guilty.

Hassan has never been "tried" for anything or investigated as a "suspect" would. She's merely passed doping tests, that most dopers do. We know they do because only 1% of tests return a positive but anywhere from 1 in 10 to 1 in 2 championship athletes have been estimated to dope.
