Four pharmacists arrested in Iten, athlete caught taking EPO

Interesting! Let's see if this is an outliner, or if the war against doping has started ...

I feel like these arrests are to cater to International doping body. Don’t trust anything out of Kenya regarding track and field.

"sell drugs to unsuspecting athletes" hahaha

El K and rektroll will quote that gem forever, "proving" that the Kenyan athletes never intended to dope.

There's a genius coach/agent that claimed Kenyans don't dope then changed his story to doping doesn't benefit top Kenyans (also a big lie) when the truth came out and they started getting popped when the country finanlly decided to crack down.

How much has he and other coaches/agents financially profited off of dopers? No wonder it's rampant down there. Coaches have been banned for much less severe things and we wonder why the doping problem persists. The penalties need to be escalated and complicit parties also held accountable because there's not enough deterrent with the status quo, apparently.

I think outliner is makeup, maybe you mean outlier.
*sigh..

That is good news. Hope to see more of this. It might actually help.

Sorry, I couldn't find "athlete caught taking EPO" in the linked article.

I can "imagine" a lot of things, but was "every pharmacy in iten was doing this five or 10 years ago"?

If anything, I will direct you to detailed information that can be found at WADA's website, and public statements from the AIU.

I'm not sure it's even possible to have penalties that could deter a lot of East Africans from using PEDs. Typical incomes there are so low relative to what race prize money is makes PEDs a risk worth taking. Even a single top three finish at even at a race with a mid level prize structure is equal to several years' salary. The odds of getting away with doping once or twice at least are heavily in an athlete's favor and even if they're caught on their first try, so what? They just go back to their normal lives no worse for the wear. I'm not sure how draconian doping penalties would need to be to have a real affect in East Africa.

Yes madam, that is correct :)

P.S: The name frazzle is also funny.

Is that what I'm doing? I didn't realize that.

I am giving him many opportunities for him to show me something to take seriously. I do this for most all the posters who post things without providing sufficient support.

You were typing out essays to the most obvious troll in existence. You do realize he doesn't believe the things he types, right? You do realize that you put effort and time into analyzing something that a 10 year old could recognize as a joke? You do realize that you were doing the equivalent of talking to a chat bot? Might as well talk to a rock. I'd say you lost any credibility that you had, but you know...

No real negative spin to me, they are systematically eradicating cogs in the problem here. Remember that only banned day-of drug (Tri Acetate) that they targeted and made a massive bust of months ago…haven’t heard of many recent cases there. Part education/part criminalization.

Yeah and where is the little Italian maestro Renato Canova to perpetuate his "but doping simply work with these guys" (shoulder shrug) schtick?

Drugs brought by european and american agents/doctors/managers/coaches… but like on the drug war, they just arrest the poor corner drug dealers, not the capos

For God's sake man. I told Khamis I was printing off pages and having people bring them to me to protect from his EMF RMF BS and he went along with it. I can't believe you're a degreed engineer. The gullibility.

Good, they are cracking down on dopers in Kenya. When will the crackdown be in England?

In England you just have to not answer the door and they go away.
