I was recently told that Habz is coached by French maestro, DuPont. Perhaps ghost1 or other Francophiles might confirm this?

Philippe Dupont is Habz's coach. Guru Dupont also coached Alice Finot to 4th at Paris 2024 steeple.
Habz's previous coach was Serge Olivares.

2+2 doesn't always equal 4. You're inferring that Habz might be supplementing, with no evidence. Dupont is legit and has a long history of success.

Thank you for your reply. I assumed correctly that you’d know.

No, but French athletes of Maghreb origin tend to rise to the top and that's what he focuses on, the cream of the crop, including, in the past, Mekhissi Benabbad, Amdouni, Makhloufi, Bosse, all of these people medallists at Euro and or World/Olympic level.
Philippe Dupont (athlétisme) — WikipédiaDupont, himself, was a monster, running 1:45.55/2:17.64 (800/1000), in 1983/85. So he's been there and done that. That's a great advantage, in my book. Can perfectly relate to the exigencies of middle and LD runners.

Bosse, former world 800 champion is among that list, but not of Maghreb origin.
Looking at all the medals his athletes have won, this French coach (Philippe Dupont) has to be one of the most successful athletics coaches of all time, all countries combined. He's an absolute monster coach.

You are correct that some athletes of Maghreb origin have doped in the past but one should not point the finger at the whole lot of them which would be an injustice.
It's strange that people don't point to Norwegians in Nordic sports and Olympiads guilty of infractions with regard to the use of asthma inhalers which are advantageous for winter sports. It's easier to point the finger at North Africans who tend to have a lower education level and have more trouble defending themselves against allegations.
The sweeping allegations you are prone to make, at times, make you lose credibility, which is a pity, as your knowledge about Athletics is evident.
