Big surprise.
Big surprise.
Denying it. He's a liar and a fraud.
It’s a shame. He is really good for the sport here in Australia. People really got around him during the olympics and comm games.
does anyone who knows any more about drug tests than me know what the chances of a false positive might be? I want to believe but damn
most of these denial posts on social media are written by some consultant or PR person.
He's not a liar if he didn't take EPO
"Hey, you've reached Bernie Lagat, I am not available at the moment but..."
"Tested positive for synthetic EPO." Yeah Peter that just happens to people who don't take EPO.
Very quick to jump to conclusions, best wait it out

As far as I know there's never been a false positive in history for EPO... except Lagat
Because he's an Australian?
Synthetic EPO is as blatant as it gets, mate.
Musta had a contaminated kangaroo burrito
Over the years, my faith in these tests has continued to diminish. Like he says, let the process play out.
ETA: Never knew LR had an edit feature. Just to clarify that my lack of faith in testing is about athletes from wealthier countries having the scientific backing and know-how to evade getting caught. Kenyan dopers are still crude and unsophisticated.
Dopers gonna dope
Why do we learn about A sample positives, and not automatically test the B sample before releasing info. If they are guilty we would have more proof, and if they are innocent we avoid the reputation tarnishing that a positive A test brings.
Ain't no defending against an EPO positive. I just wish for once when someone gets popped they admit guilt and retire from the sport.
Also glad he got popped by SIA rather than AIU.
Wanting to believe as this is just devastating for Aussie aths...
But EPO is always injected right? Not ingested?? Accidents not really possible? : (
