Am I missing something, or did this guy really undergo a blood transfusion DURING the Olympic Games? I mean, doing it when testers are far away during COVID is one thing, but on the world's biggest stage where testing is guaranteed?
Nuts.
He was also banned in 2018, btw. Can't remember what for, but had all his times since 2015 scrubbed from the books.
I'm happy that more guys like this one are busted.
Bahrain should be banned from Athletics.
From a recent article, I counted that almost 75% of runners used by this country come from Africa.

Another feather in Pineda’s cap. Is anyone keeping a total on this guy’s drug positives/sanctions?

Fsiha (euro xc champ)
Naser (world 400m champ)
Kiptum (WR half marathon)
Mikhou (x 2)
Lokobe
Kiplagat
Jepngetich
It is way more likely he had a transfusion before getting on a plane to Tokyo. It can be detectable for a long time. Age of red blood cells. Assuming he didn’t really mess up and used someone else’s blood.
That said, Nordic skiers had blood bags at the Salt Lake Olympics. So some how they got them to the US. I would think Japan would be harder though.

Didn't he use somebody else's blood?

Normally you wouldn’t as that is super easy to detect. Going back to Tyler Hamilton in the Olympic TT. Sometimes it happens by accident though when bags are stored together.
I didn’t read anything that indicated it was someone else’s blood in the press release.

That was for an ABP-hematological anomalies case:

Yeah...he did mess up big time by using someone's else's blood, i.e. Homologous blood transfusion. His blood values could have been within the parameters set on his ABP but the mere fact that he used someone else's blood is enough to trigger an adverse finding. My guess is he got his blood bag mixed up with a teammate's back in Bahrain. Lol.

He also managed this guy :

Who else does Pineda manage? Is there a list somewhere?

Do you know how many young athletes die EVERY WEEK?
Say what you want about Pineda but stop disrespecting that young man's life and family by implying he died because of doping, you heartless moron.

How many young athletes did every week? I’m guessing almost zero.

I went and checked. In the city I currently live in, which has a metro area of around 3 million people, so far this month:
One 16 year old soccer player, one 17 year old soccer player, one 21 year old basketball player, 18 year old swimmer.
So you think it's clearly a co-incidence that he had a 22 year old runner die of a mystery illness within 24 hours of another young runner of his (Fisha) being busted?
Nothing to see here?
These are the people who accuse me of racism.
Or rather, these are the paid shills who play the race card to divert from the evil exploitation of young African runners.
Transfer of allegiance
Following a proposal by Sebastian Coe, Council has today frozen all new transfers of allegiance in athletics by exercising its powers under the Constitution to revoke Competition Rules 5.2(b), 5.4(d) and 5.4(e) with immediate effect. A working group, set up to study the subject area, will submit proposals for new rules as a matter of urgency and no later than the end of this year.
Today’s decision does not affect the 16* applications for transfer which are already in process.
Sebastian Coe commented: “It has become abundantly clear with regular multiple transfers of athletes especially from Africa that the present rules are no longer fit for purpose. Athletics, which at its highest levels of competition is a championship sport based upon national teams, is particularly vulnerable in this respect. Furthermore, the present rules do not offer the protections necessary to the individual athletes involved and are open to abuse.”
Hamad Kalkaba Malboum, Africa Area Group Representative on the IAAF Council, who will drive this piece of work with the working group chaired by Mr Hiroshi Yokokawa, said: “The present situation is wrong. What we have is a wholesale market for African talent open to the highest bidder. Our present rules are being manipulated to the detriment of athletics’ credibility. Lots of the individual athletes concerned, many of whom are transferred at a young age, do not understand that they are forfeiting their nationality. This must end and a new way forward found which respects the athletes’ rights and the sports’ dignity.”
