There's an interesting article in the NY Times about the AIU and their string of success nailing track athletes. One interesting aspect is their strategy of who to test:
"The strategy starts at the top. A group of the top 10 athletes per discipline in both men’s and women’s categories is selected to be part of the World Athletics testing pool. Each athlete has a profile and a bespoke risk score from 1 to 10, calculated from a range of factors, including the athlete’s testing history, performances, nationality — there are athletes from 90 nations in the testing pool — and intelligence reports from testers in the field."
It sounds to me like the AIU and many of us on Letsrun have the same suspicious runners at the top of the list.
