In March, I expressed my disgust when EPO cheat Ridouane Harroufi won the US 15k title. With millions of people world-wide wanting to be citizens and a huge backlog of immigration cases that includes the likes of Edward Cheserek and the Stepanovs, I wondered why we decided to grant him citizenship when naturalization candidates are suppsed to show "good moral character."
Well, today we found out that his character hasn't changed much since becoming a citizen. Harroufi has been popped by USADA and banned from the sport for 8 years. He tested positive on TWO different occasions. Once at the US 15k and once later in an out of competition test.
Good riddance.
