An anti-doping disciplinary tribunal convened by Athletics Integrity Unit has concluded that there is a "medically-savvy operation helping athletes to...
No worries. They used different words like "sophistication" and "well organized". All is well.
"It is clear doping in Kenya is increasingly well organised and these cases underline the reality that medically-experienced personnel are involved," said AIU chair David Howman.
Finally, there are only
66 of the country's athletes on the AIU banned list
... which is far less than 2 per week. All is well. It also doesn't matter because doping doesn't work. No worries. Bioenergetics! Newton! Darwin!
It is obvious from the almost identical wording of parts of the letter from the supposed doctor [Dr Philip Murey] in the Lempus case that it was written by the same individual as the equivalent letter in the present case," read a statement from the panel.
"The Lempus letter was written a month before the letter from Dr Davis Lukorito Wanambisi in the present case.
"The pattern of behaviour is remarkably similar in both cases.
"There is no possibility in our view that the athlete in the present case had the sophistication or medical knowledge either to draft the letter from Dr Davis Lukorito Wanambisi nor the email of 24 March 2022, nor indeed to set up the scheme employed in the present case."
Ultimately, the panel reached the conclusion that elite Kenyan athletes are being assisted by someone "with considerable medical knowledge to commit what amounts to criminal conduct involving frauds on the AIU".
"We regard this conduct as a matter of the greatest possible concern and urge the AIU to take all possible steps to establish how this is occurring," continued the AIU statement.
We know the Russian Federation was helping athletes, India has a billion people and access to every drug manufacturer that makes a generic, Kenya has 55 million people.
Kenya and India may not be state sponsored doping but there is certainly a meeker for getting athletes drugs and not killing them.
"Systematic" and 'well-organised" mean the same to anyone who can use English above Grade School level.
So in other words, the AIU didn't say "systematic" -- but a young reporter at an online publication did, in a headline. Kinda grabs your attention and makes you want to read it, doesn't it? Almost subliminal.
Maybe the adjectives have the same meanings, but the nouns they modify are different. In the article, David Howman said "doping in Kenya is increasingly well organised" and the "insidethegames.biz" headline says "criminal systematic doping cover-up operation".
Would the above Grade School English graduate still consider these meanings the same?
David Howman doesn't even say it is well organised, but just that it is more than before.

If it is well-organized it is undoubtedly systematic. It may even be systemic, if it's widespread enough. But I get that with the difficulties you have with English this is hard for you.
As a bonus, yet another Kenyan (running for Kazakhstan), Norah Jeruto (the winner of the last WC steeple), has just been suspended by the AIU. Like falling rain.

So -- I guess your answer is still "no".
Widespread? The article said "at least two". Lol. Maybe three if you count Zane.
I thought this was already common knowledge? Everyone who trains in Kenya says the same thing about EPO being rampant in every training center and the agents are always bringing in EPO from Europe.

It is unlikely that a Grade School English graduate would consider the two headlines to convey the same meaning.
The first headline suggests that doping in Kenya is becoming more coordinated and structured, while the second headline implies that there is an intentional effort to conceal evidence of systematic doping through criminal activity.
The language used in the two headlines is quite different, and a Grade School English graduate would likely be able to understand the basic differences in meaning conveyed by the headlines.

Rekrunner can be annoying as FUCC and he is wrong about certain things, but he is smarter than you and generally more careful the way he uses language than you are. Try to occasionally learn something instead of arguing like a recalcitrant fool all the time.

That's the problem with indefinite pronouns. Here we are talking about tampering by producing fake letters from a doctor, described as a "criminal systematic doping cover-up operation", based on a pattern of "at least two", and not the alleged availability of EPO.
Zane did something similar, and I don't recall anyone accusing him of being criminally medically saavy and well organized.
A criminal "medically-savvy operation helping athletes cover up doping offences".
Both Nalyanya and Lempus told the AIU that they had received intramuscular injections while being treated at the same Kenyan hospital and produced medical documents to support their claims. In both instances, the AIU discovered that the documents were false, the doctors were invented, and that neither athlete had received the injection.
This is what they're calling "medically-savvy"? False documents and invented doctors? What a low-rent operation. Couldn't even get real doctors to sign documents.
A state-sponsored system would've had real doctors and documents available.

Both those guys you are describing are turds. They bring nothing to threads- only arguing and negativity.

how can you all not understand what is going on? or the definitions of words?
there are doctors that have an organized method of distributing PEDS to individuals and helping them skirt testing and bans. these dozens of drug busts are not individual athletes that have gone rogue, they are all organized through a complex scheme led or assisted by corrupt doctors.
systematic - done or acting according to a fixed plan or system; methodical.
if dozens of people are receiving PEDS from the same individuals, then are using the same mechanisms to try to skirt the drug ban, that is by definition SYSTEMATIC because it is done according to a fixed plan.
i am just surprised it took the AIU this long to suspect them, it's been obvious for DECADES.

Exact quote: the AIU discovered that the documents were FALSE, the doctors were INVENTED, and neither athlete had received the injection.
First off, they're talking about two athletes, not "dozens". Second, there were no doctors.
