Sedjati under investigation. L'Equippe says searches were conducted by police in Olympic Village.

Not the point of the thread but Thomas hit 3 whereabouts & then had 1 overturned. I believe she was throwing a party & didn't hear the doorbell. Do with that what you will but I'm not sure 1 whereabouts isn't an automatic flag in this day & age.

Oh, we’re not just scratching the surface here, we’re digging deep into the abyss of ABSOLUTE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!! Coevett+Khamis, you’re the dynamic duo of truth, shining a spotlight on the DEEP ROT in the world of athletics, and I’m here for EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look, the 800m is a JOKE right now—a circus of doped-up performances masquerading as "competition." Wanyoyi running 1:41 at ALTITUDE????? Are you kidding me?????? That’s not just bending the laws of physics, that’s SHATTERING THEM!!!!!!!!!! And in Paris, he’s shaving off more time like it’s NOTHING????? This is beyond suspicious, it’s CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And let’s talk about Ingebrigtsen, the golden boy of Norway who’s somehow smashing records left, right, and center like he’s out for a Sunday stroll. DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH!!!!!!! You expect me to believe he’s doing this clean????? With that smug grin and the endless endorsements??? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!! You can’t get that fast, that strong, that CONSISTENTLY without some serious pharmacological assistance, you feeling me?????? The Ingebrigtsen brothers are practically a Scandinavian doping cartel at this point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wanyoyi’s flailing arms and that ridiculous head tilt aren’t fooling anyone—he’s just another puppet in this dirty game, string-pulled by PEDs. And Sedjati???? Yeah, he moves better, but that’s just better cover for the same old dirty tricks!!!!!! Algeria, Morocco—these places are practically synonymous with doping, except for the ONE TRUE KING, Hicham El Guerrouj, who’s the ONLY CLEAN ATHLETE TO EVER WALK THIS EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t even look at this sport anymore without wanting to hurl!!!!!!! Faith Kipyegon?????? Don’t even get me started—there’s a darkness there, a shadow over her achievements that SCREAMS SUBTERFUGE!!!!!!!!!!!! And then there’s Jessica Hull, the only glimmer of purity in this CESSPOOL OF LIES AND DECEPTION!!!!!!!!!! Her voice, her demeanor, it’s like a breath of fresh air in a world filled with toxic fumes—she’s the 'virgin' of distance running, untainted, untouchable, you KNOW what I mean????? She’s the last bastion of hope, the only athlete left who hasn’t been dragged down into the MUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But Jakob Ingebrigtsen???? The dude’s practically a walking syringe at this point—don’t tell me he’s doing this on hard work and Norwegian salmon alone!!!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!! We need to blow the lid off this whole scandal and expose what’s really going on behind the scenes. This sport is ROTTEN TO THE CORE, and it’s time we FACE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coevett, keep shining that spotlight, because the darkness is closing in, and it’s about to swallow this sport WHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly.

I have been doing some digging on X, and an Algerian has claimed that not only was Sedjati and his coach's room searched, but also the apartment of the coach's daughter, who is a student in Paris apparently.

They tested Sedjati 7 times in the last 3 weeks.

They have seized Sedjati's and his coach's smartphones and laptops. Looks like it will be a thorough investigation, although this Algerian on X said that they found no illegal peds and claims it's all due to French 'Algeriaphobia'.

If you don’t like this website you can always go elsewhere or STFU

Please Coevett, tell us your thoughts on Georgia Bell.

If you’re so sure Jingy is doped, you must be convinced that Hocker, Nuguse and Kerr are too?

Lol that headline

You don't make any sense.. Explain how this works?

The drugs are always ahead of the testing. Right now there are many athletes using a substance that the testing won't pick up, which is why they freeze samples and retest them down the line when their testing has evolved, and usually end up catching a few people.

Side note, if Sedjati is doping, what does that say about everyone else this year that made a 1-4 second PR? I don't buy that that was all because Sedjati was pacemaking them to it.

It might say they are more talented than Sedjati, their improvement is due to various other things or that they are doping like Sedjati. But you seem to have a rational take on things, which is why you have to acknowledge that the guy who had a sting operation run on himself and his coach has attracted more suspicion. This is not a whataboutism, the doping authorities are after this guy for a reason. The fact that they thought they could catch him in competition is pretty striking.

I suppose you could freeze and retest an A sample in the future if the B sample hasn't been compromised. So maybe you're onto something.

To be honest, I wonder what gave them that justification for a search. I'd have to assume the fact he's Algerian did in fact have something to do with it (for better or for worse), or perhaps they received a lead. Since objectively the only thing that makes him more suspicious than others is the fact that he basically didn't exist to the sport before Tokyo. But since then he settled into being a 1:43 guy and consistent medal threat so was perhaps on equal footing with others.

I also can't tell if the translation is accurate but was it that they went to test him randomly (like outside his whereabouts period) and he wasn't there? Or was it during his whereabouts period and he wasn't there, constituting a missed test?

Regardless, considering they've snatched all their electronics for searching I'm sure if he's doing something untoward they will find something. Hope we get some closure here

Not 100% sure. But they must have a lead or whistleblower to be seizing and searching. It is obviously not SOP to conduct a raid just because a guy isn’t present for a test in or out of the window. Should get very interesting, as Sedjati/Algerias federation saying everything is fine literally means nothing. The authorities have everything and it will take time to see if they obtained anything incriminating.

If you don't think Sedjati isn't doping, I have some timeshares to sell you.

I wonder if Sedjati taught him the 'rope-a-dope'? 🤣

Interestingly, Slimane Moula said he was drug tested almost everyday as well. There is definitely some reason the Algerians were targeted during this Olympics. It could be racial, it could be from prior experience, it could be from a whistleblower, or it could be from a biological passport. We don't really know unless something is found. If nothing comes of this, the Algerian team is probably owed an apology.

Sedjati has apparently appeared on Algerian TV stating that his coach Benida's 18 year old daughter was 'sequestered' at a French police station for 24 hours. He was also tested 16 times in 40 days. Pretty sure they must have had something big on him.
