Kenyan athlete tests positive for banned substance

i am starting to lose track. have we had this one already?

[qoute]Otieno's withdrawal left Ferdinand Omanyala as Kenya's only entrant in the men's 100m at the Games. read more

He served a 14-month doping ban imposed by the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya in 2017.[/quote]

Lol.

Where are you hiding El K?

You used to say that the huge number of doping busts in Kenya was simply due to the large number of your 'elites'. Now your top two 100m guys (and your top 400m guy) have been busted.

Your sprinters are doping harder than the Americans and Jamaicans!

Kenyan non-distance runners get caught doping even more frequently than the distance runners. So, no surprise on this one either.

They also have another sprinter who won his heat and smashed his pb just in time for the Olympics. 100% doping if his fellow 100m colleague who he trains with is doping and given Kenya’s reputation.

Literally who even cares anymore. Just let everyone take whatever they want and then we don't need any of the constant second-guessing.

Yeah their distance runners are all clean just ask that liar Renato "Kenyans don't dope" Canova.

Renato never said that but honesty is not your forte, is it?

That guy has already been banned for doping, but unfortunately Kenya went back on their promise to never send a convicted doper to a major Championship again.

He set a Kenyan national record in the first round.

This sport is sick.

Well we knew already that Kenyan distance runners weren't clean, and sprinting and distance running are the same sport (and Kenyans are terrible at sprinting), unlike cycling and athletics (one being a billiion dollar team based sport that has been proffessional for over a century).

Your post is possibly the dumbest ever posted on LetsRun, and that would be quite remarkable. No wonder you posted it under a fake handle.

He essentially says that very thing almost every time he posts here, and that anyone who disagrees is 'stupid...mindless...a moron.'.etc.

He claims that every single whereabouts failure is the result of individual innocent error on the part of the athlete, and that just about every positive test is from taking supplement that the athlete didn't know contained the illegal substance.

He also claims that EPO doesn't even work on top Kenyan runners.

Because "Number 32" is your real handle, right?

Kenyans are terrible as sprinting? Remove the African blood from British Athletics and compare the times of Kenyan and British sprinters. And that's Kenya, with only a couple of synthetic tracks in the whole country, while the UK has a couple per borough in London alone.

Renato says his athletes never doped while he was their coach (whether that is true or not, only they will know, but that was not my point, as you know).

He doesn't say that "just about every positive test is from taking supplement that the athlete didn't know contained the illegal substance" but if you ever go to Kenya and live a few months like the locals in Iten, for example, you will know that you don't just go to a doctor, get a prescription that is right for your condition and then go to a pharmacy and get a box/flask with the medicine.

But you know this already, why am I wasting my time?

His claim that EPO doesn't work on top runners (not just Kenyan, he didn't say just Kenyan, but you knew this already, didn't you?) raised and training at altitude actually makes sense.

If you read some of the scientific research on it you might understand why.

That doesn't mean athletes don't take EPO, but you know this already.

There's a pandemic so really there should be consistency.

But there's no way any developed country is taking an economic hit. There's too much money invested and there's no way they are going to prioritize your health over their profits.

So they'll send you to work but don't get any ideas about doing anything fun like watching live sport.

Oops wrong thread

Aden, Kiprop, Kiptum, Jeptoo and Sumgong all have a different experience/opinion, to name a few.

How convenient that you left out my last sentence.

Anyway, like I said, only the athletes and/or coaches know if they dope and why.

I was just trying to clarify what Renato said, not claim that all he says is true.

An honest discussion is something difficult to have with dishonest people.

Yes he certainky did say that a few years back before they all started getting busted. He initially said Kenyans don't dope. Then when some started getting caught he changed his story to his infamous "top Kenyans don't dope because it doesn't even benefit them." Then once a bunch of top Kenyans were being caught he changed from denial to being a doping apologist. This is disturbing behavior from an agent who clearly benefitted financially off of doping runners.
