So as someone who reads the board quite often, I think the athlete being referredto is Yared. There is no evidence (that I have seen or heard) that the accusation is at all true. From my understanding this is stemming from a thread a few months back in which an anonymous poster made a claim that a top US track star had been popped and a few random posters came to the conclusion that it might be Yared. From my memory, this was not the consensus on the thread, but a few seem to have taken that and ran with it - or at least the idea that Yared could be dirty.
Yared, in my eyes, deserves no more suspicion than any other athlete in track and field. Ritz has a history but there is no evidence that anything sketchy has been continued on by him. Yared is a future dentist who decided to run pro rather than going to grad school immediately. In my (biased) opinion, it seems like Yared would have to be incredibly stupid to dope with the prospects he has outside of running, and the potential for damaging those. Especially given his apparent focus on that prior to his pro career, and my assumption that he plans to continue on his medical career.
