Molly Huddle on the Ethiopians: "I feel like they get away with a lot"

Huddle feels like she gets away with a lot so she's trying to blame others to try and cover her own drug use. The same tactic was employed by Racliffe who also had wide swings in performance.

Molly is upset she got beat by a 2 tier Americian. Molly, you need to run more miles and shut up. You are no longer the best in America.

Didn t Amy Cragg just beat some Ethiopians, let s test Cragg.

No doubt, Molly has a point. It's weird that everyone has to compete at the world level, but have different testing protocol. The honor system doesn't work, regardless of the the truth on Ayana. Being dominant from a country without out-of-competiton testing deserves to be suspicious, it's just how it goes.

On the contrary, it does seem like Ethiopia is trying to imprison those who fail test... in that case, they do face way stiffer punishment than a 4-Yr ban.

How to tell if runner is dirty. The runner is:

(1) Ethiopian

(2) Kenyan

(3) Beats an Ethiopian or Kenyan

(4) Runs for Alberto Salazar

(5) Is over 30

(6) Competes in final of major championship

I think that the best clean runner in the world must run about 18 minutes for 5k. Anyone faster is clear doper. We should be going to local 5ks to see the world's fastest cleanest runners

Hey Molly, everyone has the right to question YOUR performances just as you question others. Remember, everyone you compete against (and lose to) goes thru drug testing. You are as likely to cheat as any Ethiopian. You get away with as much as they do.

Cucks like TommyNoNuttz are always disingenuous. The Ethiopians and most Kenyans are literally never, ever tested out of season/out of competition. The yanks, Europeans, Japanese, and others are tested all the time, year round. The E. Africans can for long periods training while on PEDs allowing themselves to train harder and longer if nothing else. But cowards like tiny Tommy conveniently forget things like this. Is their low resistance to brainwashing? Self hate inculcated by their soc teachers and professors. Or just more of the usual whiteboy cowardice we see out of nearly all millennials and quite a few X'ers and Boomers as well?

Cragg will be tested, that is not the problem. Runner's have been passing drug test in competition but getting caught out of season. When runner's from a country has no out of season testing and throws down a great performance it is sort of fishy.

And from some of these comment about Molly I take it people didn't watch the interview.

Chick runs no races for a year comes back and is a half lap up on the rest of the world.

Nothing suspicious about that.

She ran a slow time for her though.

1. You are an idiot... 2. You are an idiot... 3. You are an idiot...

Huh? Where did anyone mention race? Just a shot in the dark:

1) you own at least 2 pairs of skinny jeans

2) you've considered being vegan

3) you were a huge Bernie sanders fan

4) you are against hunting but support abortion

5) you owned a Che Guevara tshirt

Ayana's a great runner, and I suck boo hoo hoo hoooo.

I wonder how much thought she put into that statement, and what influenced her to speak out now. Could it have been the German article, of course. All we can really do is let WADA do their job. Also, it is amazing to me (only been trolling here for 2 months ) how many world class athletes not only visit this site but comment.

When Wang Junxia broke 10000m in 1993 everyone screamed DOPING, when Ayana broke that record in Rio for 15s everyone screamed Great talent, now again 42s faster than 2nd placed and again great talent, only great thing about that POS is that she is great DOPER and nothing else.

I would like to see who will ever be jailed in Ethiopia for doping, knowing that Geb itself was a doper.

A little remind of what happened in 1993 - for younger guys.

The E. Africans have been given a pass when it comes to testing for the most part. Brainwashed Westerners make excuses for it just as they have been trained to do. No matter what malfeasance certain groups of people (of color) engage in, Westerners, specifically white Westerners, especially Americans, will make allowances and excuses, whether the offenders are from a third world nation or born and raised within the borders of the US. There is always an excuse or denial of responsibility on the part of the person of color that is made by the whites who are in fact quite cowardly when it comes to confronting these people. This is by design.

This is why problems in American inner-cities, problems caused by the people who live in horrible neighborhoods, are allowed to take not one bit of responsibility for their actions and in fact stand and blame whites or anyone else doing better than they are. If someone points out certain truths and facts they are called a racist or nazi. And the offenders have all been taught (by the same people who brainwashed naive whites) into using claims of racism as a shield. It's almost amusing to watch.

If equal drug testing and methods were used across the board the number of top performers from E. Africa would likely be cut in half or more. And if other tests were adjusted to accurately judge certain "parameters" rather than being set to catch only Caucasians and being far less effective on black and Asian athletes, other events outside distance running would see a drop in certain types of competitors. One particular steroid test is extremely ineffective when used on Asian athletes and it doesn't work much better on black athletes. You can look these things up if you're not a brainwashed egalitarian.

Watch the interview, she wasn't making a statement. She was asked a loaded question about no out of season testing in Ethiopia.

When Jonathan Gault asked her, if given Ethiopia's track record of less than stringent anti-doping in terms of out of competition testing, if she was suspicious of the results, she replied. "I mean yeah, I feel like they get away with a lot to be honest. Everyone talks about Russia and Kenya and they've kind of cracked down on them so maybe they'll be the next country to get stricter regulations and testing. Unfortunatley, nowadays, you always have to question the world record but who really knows. "

Unless she had proof she needs to shut up.

Track is a joke no wonder no one cares.

Y'all are fools if you don't understand that those on the circuit know who is cheating. They can't do anything about it just like you can't do anything about your boss sleeping with a coworker in the that is unfairly moving up the ladder. They know what's going on but they don't have video evidence.

When someone wins like that at a WCs of course other people are going to be upset. Dirty AF! How can you guys still be so naive?

If you want to get mad at anyone in this situation it should be Gault for asking the TMZ style questions right after a race. You don't ask someone a question who just got knocked TF out and you don't ask a question of such gravity to someone who is feeling emotional. It may make Huddle look like a sore loser in the short term, but just wait.

Her statement is very reasonable. She's on the track racing against these runners and her opinion counts as much as anybody's.

Wouldn't call Infeld a tier-2 ... Anyway, Molly races a lot (which I love) but you gotta wonder if it's starting to wear on her ... Also, she is getting older.

I wish her the best and what she's saying isn't incorrect. Just wish she took the higher road. Let the proces play out and until then, do your own thing.

She's right.

Many get a free pass to cheat. We athletes know that.
