Some people are suggesting Divine Oduduru.
Also Nigerian, Texas link, same training group. Has had injuries - not sure whether hamstring though.

For adults, I agree with you.

Divine Oduduru is interesting, as he false-started and was disqualified from Tokyo.
Fits into the timeline considering Blessing had been caught the day before. But Divine's last documented hamstring problem was 2019, I believe.
I actually oppose this law and agree with those who believe that Congress lacks authority to regulate sports. They have outlawed various drugs, as have State Legislatures. You all may have noticed that the popular PEDa are not illegal in the same way that El Chapo's stuff is. EPO, HGH, etc. are simply banned by various sports organizers for use in the events they create and regulate - as opposed to outlawed by legislative statute. They are pharmaceutical drugs commonly and legally consumed.
The biggest and most high-profile busts don't involve actual cops, fines, jails, and trials in criminal court. Certain shoes and swimming suits may not be allowed in some competitions according to the organizers thereof, but nobody does any time for breaking those rules. The sporting court system, ie CAS, lack authority to fine, jail, and punish you in the ways other courts can and do. And I was OK with that.
Now that the law enforcement and criminal court systems are involved with this for the first time in the US, here's my question:
Why are the users of the legal-but-banned-by-sports-federations drugs not liable under RADA? They themselves are the individuals who intend to alter outcomes, specifically by placing higher in the results than they would have if competing clean.
Juicing is all well and good. Congress has no issue with dopers. However, if you aid someone intending to do so, you are liable to actual criminal punishment by courts with punitive authority (again, for the first time in the US). If the LRC story is accurate, the drafters of RADA seem to have no objection to athletes doping. Doctors, agents, coaches, random profiteers, and whoever the athletes get the stuff from are the only target of this law. Nobody can be punished for drug use under it. Again, if LRC reporting is accurate.
This guy looking to
make a buck/help his friends/impress a lady he finds attractive/help his former sponsor by connecting their current athletes/hook up his doctor friends with owed favors/whatever.....
is locked up.
The people who literally alter the distribution of Olympic medals by competing in Olympic events while violating Olympic rules are not.

I've heard it is Adam Gemili. It is well known that UK Athletics was investigating him at the end of last year after the Olympics. He still continues to be "injured." He was part of Okabare's training group as well and had a hamstring injury. It fits. UK Athletics is just trying to keep his name under wraps because that is how they operate (still waiting on Jessica Ennis' positive test to see the light of day).

Shouldn't have to look very hard. 🤣

The reason why more than one missed test should be a 2 year ban with no time off for good behavior.
Heard it's Adam Gemili from where? I don't think he is close enough to Okagbare, unlike Oduduru.

No more drug tests. Let everyone do their things and compete.
And let men compete as women?
Let's get it all in.
Yeah HOORAR
the Rodtchenkov atc punishes who aids athletes that attends main international event... so the Athlete-2 didn't go to the Olympics
Ridiculous that our government is even messing with this.

Probably just one of the steroid infested powerlifting fans.
You know those people that go to every steroid users page on instagram and follows them and congratulates them on all of their fake steroid accomplishments.
Divine Oduduru has been suspended, AIU is looking for 6 years.
Spot on!
The ‘training group’ didn’t have anything to do with it. It was Blessing’s connections to El Paso and other former connections. Sneaky sneaky pop pop.

Blessing, lol... But indeed, this is great news:
He is the first charged under the Rodchenkov Act passed in December 2020 that extends enforcement of illegal drug activities to international events.

They did and found nothing.
