I wonder could this have anything to do with the BBC Panorama programme that is due to air on Monday the 24th? "Mo Farah and the Salazar Scandal", going to be very interesting either way

Random retirements are always suspect, but retiring due to injury is less of a surprise when athlete has basically been injured non-stop for 7 years.
Why post should trivial nonsense... hardly going out a limb to suggest a major bust is coming. It's practically weekly at this stage.
So to play your game
Kosgei or Hassan
It's the Skandiamannen!

Agreed. I am surprised someone hasn't put up a parody post:
Wow. I just finished my morning prayers and got a revelation from a very much “in the know” individual. A famous celebrity will die shortly. Brace yourselves. You’re going to be shocked.
So the OP never even indicated if it was a distance runner, or male/female

Interesting timing re: this thread, Doorbell Mo pulling out of the Big Half, and the upcoming BBC documentary...

You have no clue what you're talking about - this is a classic piece of trolling (didn't you start some bs like this last year where you said a top 3 or so finisher from the London marathon was about to be popped?). Any actual doping charge goes through the AIU which posts the info immediately per their transparency policy. ABP cases that are flagged for review by the anti-doping experts will be looked at and evaluated privately for sufficient evidence of doping. If the evidence is lacking then the case is no longer pursued and we'll never know that so & so was investigated for a possible ABP violation (unless it leaks out like the FB hacked documents for 2016 showing athletes under investigation for "likely doping/passport suspicious"). If there's sufficient evidence for doping then it goes right to AIU for public release (e.g., Kiptum, Rutto, etc). Then comes the DT hearings, first instance decision, CAS (if appealed by the athlete), and all that before there's a final disposition and ban - but that can take several months or even years depending on the appeals. The point is once an athlete is charged with a doping offense it is made known right away - no more waiting to find out who it is. And when there's a "first instance decision" that report is made public and available for review by anyone.

No, I did not start a thread of that sort. I can also assure you that I do “have a clue of what I’m talking about”. If you’re under the impression that those rules you listed are applicable to all, I’d wager your naïveté has got the better of you.

So it is not an American.
Earlier Buckle Up stated:
"Wow. I just got a text from a very much “in the know” individual. Brace yourselves. You’re going to be shocked."
Then,
"You’re half correct. Appeal has been/is the limiting factor here, but this athlete is definitely top tier."
On Kevin Castille (who I've never heard of), "No, I sure did not. That’s not even in the same stratosphere as this athlete."
Worried about British laws, tells me that we are looking at someone like Mo, Bolt, a Jamaican sprinter chick. Someone like Aikines, even Muir.
I’m going to cease posting, as this seems to be spiraling a bit out of control. Just realise that just because I’m a Brit, you mustn’t assume that the athlete I’m referring to is also a Brit.
My guess is it’s one of the top place getters that raced London marathon 2019, probably female.
It's not a brit, simply because UKAD is there to make sure no brit tests positive.
So what happens to the prize money if you get nabbed after winning a couple of marathons?

Mo has always been "clean" -- gray area Salazar doping isn't the same as EPO.
Hoping to see Kosgei or Rhonex go down. Total frauds.

Don’t hold your breath.
A Salazar supporter calling someone else a total fraud?! Lolol

Do you know who it is? Are they kenyan?
Not a "supporter" in the slightest; I just doubt you'll ever see a bust from that group. Saladbar brilliantly skirted around the doping regulations. Compare this to the East Africans who just straight up turbo-dope with EPO.
It's not Kosgei, I mean how bad would the optics be here? I'm sticking with Dibaba. Something is afoot.

Mo has been doing his own thing for quite a while. He was involved with Jama Aden in some way (which he lied about), and he switched from training in Kenya to Ethiopia around the same time that WADA started cracking down on Kenyans. If he gets busted for something real I would be far from shocked.
