1/ Spanish Morroccan nationality/background - the two worst EPO cultures in Europe and North Africa.
2/ Same manager as Cacho.
3/ Doesn't appear to have actually improved since he made his crazy progression 2 years ago.
4/ Manager has defended dopers, calling for convicted dopers to be given a second, third, and fourth chance.
5/ Katir has always been a 1500/5000 man, the Norwegian was a 5000/10000/ half marathoner until this year. He also had precisely two 1500 races last year, both of which he won easily.
6/ When asked about doping, Katir responds with his hands covering his ears, or on Instagram calling the accuser a loser whose wife would prefer to be with him (Katir).
