The link is not with Nigerian athletes. Nwokocha is in the NCAA and was coached by Duane Ross, who had Randolph Ross suspended in the same year. Make what you will of that.
The other link you could make is UTEP, which Okagbare, Oduduru and Amusan all attended. None of these athletes even train in Nigeria ever or use Nigerian coaches.

For the record, though, Amusan no longer trains at UTEP and moved to Auburn with her coach Lacena Golding-Clarke who got a job there.
Once again, their federations have literally nothing to do with this as they're all in America being tested by the AIU (and sometimes USADA upon request). If they were all local in Nigeria then there would probably be more doping and less getting caught.
Or have complicit federations like the Ethiopians, Ugandans or Eritreans IMO.
Ever wonder why Kenyans are popped, but all other East Africans never are?
Well?
Do you have any proof that the Ethiopian or Ugandan federations are complicit with dopers? Or are you just assuming so because the athletes are fast and have few busts?

The timing (system) was pretty interesting on that WR set last year too.
i think the timing was legit. something was probably wrong with the wind gauge though.
There was something off with that time. Faulty mechanism, wind gauge, dope.... I don't know what it was, but I have never accepted that time as being legit.
The two most trusted stats analysts in the sport (PJ Vazel and I forgot the other guy's name) analysed the race frame by frame and both independently concluded that it was a 12.12
She will need what Gabby Thomas had...proof/witnesses that there was some negligence by the DCO. It's probably not a great sign that she didn't lay out any hint of that in her public statement.
organizations change their sops and update their processes when weaknesses are identified. I doubt they have not plugged the gap Gabby snuck thru.
you know you are being silly right? I am in the NE USA. In August I will be at Worlds in Budapest. I may log in to letsrun while I'm there. See why your comment is inane yet?

Yeah I thought about that and was aware of those other connections. Interesting with the UTEP situation is that Michael Saruni (suspended for refusing to be tested) and Emmanuel Korir (1.42.0 runner that can't break 1.47 since Saruni was suspended) are also UTEP alumni.
But in saying that there is still a pretty large link with and to other athletes in your national team. These athletes are all national reps that would spend some time in training camps and at events - there is no way that with a relatively small national squad like Nigerian that there is or wouldn't be some kind of "shared practices/intel" with respect to certain things. At least that is my opinion.
It's 3:30 a.m. where you live, and you are on letsrun talking about doping and rekrunner...
You are a sad old man.
Totally, this site and rekrunner probably gives him the only meaning and purpose he has left in life. I’ve long blocked him, which is a pretty convenient feature on this site.
But this site gives you no meaning in life, despite being on this thread and being unable to ignore me? I guess you have no meaning in life - unless you have to respond to me or comments about me. You are owned.

You're welcome to LRC with your criticism and doping comments. The people that should be blocked (which is completely worthless) are the people that take several user names and spread all sort of intox.
