Another EPOpian busted. Another Kenyan as well.
I can assure you that she’s not the only one. Anyone that knows anything of the things that go on in ETH is not surprised. There are rumors of a positive test cover up to the highest level in 2020/21.
Yep, the s#@ has yet to hit the fan for Ethiopian runners, but it's coming.
Remember this? Widespread doping in Ethiopia has been known for a while, looks like AIU finally targeting them.
That woman pretty much has the same PRs when I retired from competitive running. Dang, big bust. Started with Paula Radcliffe ABP and now this is also an ABP case.
I don't know about the rumors, but it is noteworthy that you have two major busts (Wondemagegn, Gemechu) of Ethiopian women in 40 days after none for quite a long time.
Has anyone else from NN been busted?
Ask yourself why Jama Aden and a certain Brit liked to go all the way to Ethiopia for long camps.
Yet ANOTHER cheating stick figure caught up in the sticky web of justice !!
BAD bag of bones……Bad bag of bones……Bad bag of bones!!!
2:17 runner, lol. 6 minutes slower than the top! Clearly the doping made her slower, as expected based on my detailed analysis of all the facts.
Recall that this is provisional, which proves that she is clean for sure.
Fug yeah.
It's not the shoes people.
1) Does anyone have a list of Ethiopian drug busts?
Have there been any of prominence? Think of all the prominent Kenyan busts. And it makes no sense to me that they wouldn't also cheat in Ethiopia - which is poorer than Kenya.
2) Does WADA publish a list of drug tests by country? I'd like to see how many tests were carried out in Ethiopia in 2022 versus Kenya in 2022. It's my understanding there is a lab in Kenya that can do to the tests but not in Ethiopia and some of the tests are very time sensitive and if you do it in Ethiopia you then have to fly them to Kenya which obviously is quite expensive.
Aren’t you the journalist here? Go be a journalist then. Just asking random questions on a message board is lazy.
LEAVE BEKELE ALONE!
Nothing to see here. Move on to the next bust.
Only on letsrun can a marathon runner that no one beyond the most hardcore fans has ever heard of be considered a big bust. Wake me up when someone like Gidey or Tsegay goes down.
9th fastest Woman in history is not big enough for you?
