I posted a link to the thread, where Mr. Canova wanted to debunk all the "conspiracy theories" surrounding African athletes.
http://www.letsrun.com/phptest/flat_read.php?thread=2380221&page=2The thread ended quickly, after a Sorbian endurance athlete posted an experience from his encounter with Miss Chepkemei:
"You might be write when you say that Susan Chepkemei was suspende taking cought medecine. I feel sorry for that, I wish they caught her when she was doing EPO. She still didn't get what she deserves.
I have been keeping my mouth closed for years, but I had to respond on your posting since I can't stand anyone defending people doing drugs for years.
I happened to stay with Susan in the same house in 2004. At that time there were only my family (my wife and 2 years old child, both of which are not athletes), I and Susan at the house. Not to mention that one day in the fridge my two year old accidently found around 15 injections 10000IU of EPO each. When owner of the house, who was on long vacation, came back and discovered the same thing in the fridge, asked Susan to take her "staff" somewhere else and also asked her to leave the house. For those five weeks Susan made about $40000-$50000 running races in USA.
So, please stop defending her."
I think this could be a nice point of this discussion.
What have we learned during the last days? For example, that a pregnant woman (1-4 months, according to differing Mr. Canova's claims) needs a stuff against infertility. And coaching has never been as simple as today.
"Hey, I discovered you were fast. I think you can run 3:20."
"O.K. I will run it!"
Don't be ludicrous, Canova. Quit athletics, until they catch you and you are baffled. My recommendation: Become a fantasy writer. Start writing fish stories like "Snowhite and seven fast-improving Kembois".
You may have had some friend in WADA, who could save you, but you forgot one thing: the power of statistical analysis. This identifies all your champions as cheats. Their "hidden qualities" don't improve anymore, because they already stagnated before, and EPO won't help them in training.
You must dope at least 10 comparable talented guys to erase the striking, unparalleled development in endurance times during the last 15 years. But WADA will give you only a little chance now. All the stellar times, from the 800 to the 10 000 m, have been falling down during the last 4 years.
