Shockingly, now that the doping coach Jama Aden is out of the sport.... Mo Farah and Genzebe Dibaba are now HUMAN once again. Their auras both totally gone. What a surprise...

Be coherent.
In some posts you (your type) claim that Aden is behind athletes with shady results.
Now because it suits your narrative Aden is out of the sport.
Make up your mind.
Mo is 38.
mo would have made it in with the shape he had last september during that 1 hour stunt. something happened between then and now.
He figured out racing Olympics was less lucrative than not .
This way he will make another few hundred thousand dollars at least, plus the added hype when he turns 40..
Assume he wants < 60 at 40.
Fair point. Who am I to say whether Aden is currently out of the sport or not....
But for sure the links between Aden and Genzebe, Farah caused the downfall of their careers because of the heightened scrutiny they suddenly faced. They couldn't continue whatever doping they were doing. The game was up.
Ok, you can argue Farah is now 'old' and he's just naturally slowed down. Maybe. Probably only half the truth..
But Dibaba and her 1500m world record is laughable. She can't get anywhere near it now she's off the juice
Neither at the Toyko Olympics. It's a sad state of affairs
What you wrote is not true.
Genzebe dibaba was injured, since 2019.
After Aden was caught with EPO in 2016 , genzebe had run so many fantastic races.
For instance she won two gold medals in 2018 world indoor championships, and she also run so many fast 1500s (including 3:55 in Rabat diamond league)
Your argument doesn’t hold water

"Injured" for two years - she came out to meets this year requesting 3:55 from the rabbit, you don't do that if you're running injured. Then she just couldn't handle the pace and died.
And yeah, she's had good races since 2016, especially Rabat and Rome 2019, but she hasn't come within 5 seconds of her PB since Jama got busted. A dirty coach getting busted and then your times dropping off 5s and your consistency going out the window isn't an indictment itself, but it isn't a good look.
She also dominated indoors 2018 with two indoor world titles but already in 2017 was a bit inconsistent outdoors.
8:16.60 3000m indoors in Stockholm - Feb 2014
14:18.86 for 5000m indoors in Stockholm - Feb 2015
I find her connection to Aden along with these particularly impressive performances at longer distances a huge red flag. I believe she has fantastic natural speed for a distance runner but lacks in natuaral endurance . EPO is the solution to this problem. Makes getting down to those times far, far easier. Much less stress on the body and therefore much less chance of injuries. Her being able to run these times at the longer distances would have been a clear sign to her coach that she was ready to challenge the 1500m WR. She did just that, running
3:50.07 1500m outdoors in Monaco - July 2015
I believe this to be a dirty WR.
In 2019 she ran 8:21.29 for the 3000m and 3:55.47 for the 1500m. Getting back to near her best with those times, but it isn't sustainable for her body. These days it's really tough for her to stay injury free because her body can't handle the training to achieve these types of performances without the juice. Drugs in sport allow the athlete to effectively train harder 'easier'. Way less stress on their body and thus way less injuries. Consistent injury-free training + natural talent/genetics = WR athlete.
Both Genzebe and Mo are talented but their association with Aden will forever taint their peak/best performances in my eyes,
The information is all out there. Written in 2017, read on..
There is one athletics track, with a man selling bamboo from a wheelbarrow at the entrance. On the track the Djiboutian athlete Ayanleh Souleiman, a former world indoor champion over 1,000m, jogs with a training partner. He and Ethiopia’s highest-profile athlete, the 1500m world record holder Genzebe Dibaba, regularly train in Sululta and until last year were coached by Jama Aden. The Somalia-born Aden was also used by British Athletics as an “unofficial facilitator” for Farah at a training camp in Ethiopia in 2015. There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by the Briton, who has never failed a drugs test.
Aden was arrested last year after EPO and other medicine was found in his hotel room in Spain, where he was at a training camp with athletes including Dibaba, a favourite for gold in London. There is a warrant for Aden’s arrest in Ethiopia but the Guardian understands he returned to Addis Ababa for 48 hours earlier this year before fleeing. He was also spotted at the Doha Diamond League in Qatar, where he used to be a national team coach. Following Aden’s arrest Dibaba said their relationship was based only around training and that she was “neat and crystal clean”.
Last month Spanish prosecutors said Aden had been indicted on public health charges. The Guardian understands that the Spanish police also have a lot of evidence from mobile phones and laptops seized in the raid last year, including text messages and emails that suggest drug trafficking as well as administering banned substances to athletes.
She ran the world record in when she was in her prime. But even after that, she has been consistent for a significant period.
And also, when you break the world record everything must come together. Like training must click, the weather must be perfect, the track must be fast (like Monaco), you must feel really well, the pacer must do a perfect job, etc…
So, my point is, it’s unfair to ask why didn’t dibaba ran another 3:50 time. Bolt ran under 9:60 only one time in his career.
Moly huddle American record in 10000m is 30:13. She never came close to that kind of time in her career.
I am just saying, you guys are being unfair to dibaba.
Ok if you say so..... and her links to Jama Aden?
Thought so...
Nobody have anything else to add?
I wonder when Asbel Kiprop is making his long-awaited return...
Sifan too?
At least Warholm is running clean!
