Elijah Manangoi provisionally suspended for whereabouts failures

WOW! ?

Can't believe how many top Kenyans are dodging doping controls!

Whereabout failures during COVID Pandemic should be annulled. These guys have life going on in poor nations.

Given the past offenses for dodging tests, I would imagine that their tests avoided were not from april on- ie during the pandemic. I suppose we’ll hear soon.

^This.

And:

Can't believe that Coleman (at first) and Thomas got away with it!

Ridiculous. He trains in right there in Nairobi, not some remote location. Go ahead and issue a blanket ban on Kenya, why don’t you? I don’t care anymore. Obvious ploy to clear the coast for their favourites.

Poor Cleo.

East Africans continue to destroy the sport. If meet directors and road race directors would just not invite them (or pay them), then the sport could flourish again. You’d see a renaissance in interest from Europe and the USA from both the public (Desi Boston victory) and potential runners (not trying to hit cheater times).

That sounds racist

Manangoi himself is claiming all three failures happened in 2019 when he was injured.

I bet the real story is he jumped through a window and ran away when he saw the testers.

Yes, 2019 makes sense - the last cases (Kipsang, Thomas) took 8 months from the third missed test to the provisional ban.

I'm not a huge fan of whereabouts failures...

Even for people that jump out windows to avoid testers?

What about guys that get tipped off that the testers are coming so they hop right over the track fence and run away with their spikes still on?

The only way he medals is if others competitors disqualify themselves.

What about the banning of all 10000 Russian athletes based on allegations?

That was the most racist thing ever done, but its ok since they're not bl...

That's funny - didn't someone not too long ago post a video of an Kenyan athlete jumping out of window and running away?

Wow, I like how you get angry at someone that has nothing to do with Manangoi ability to show up to an appointment. Deflect much?

I do however, hope Manangoi is treated fairly as consistently with other recent whereabout failures.

Sorry on a phone, fixing in case of grammar police.

I do, however, hope that Manangoi is treated fairly and consistent with other recent whereabout failures.

Yes, that really happened.

Or how about pretending your doorbell doesn’t work and hiding in your basement.

There is a reason for wearabout failures. It is easy to dodge testers when you are glowing.

If you skip class when there is a pop quiz, sorry you fail.
