That was the wrong thing for Hicham to say. The politically correct thing to say was either, "no comment or
I will wait for the B sample before making a statement".
Hicham and Boulami aren't even friends so why would he
support an acquised drug offender. That statement alone will cause SOME to question Hicham's validity on drug use!

Nah, I just think El G felt bad about his previous comments and was maybe pressured by Morocco athletics (King Hussein himself?) to revise what he said. Boulami testing positive looks aweful for Morocco, and for El G to be against him as well, El G, the hero of Morocco, well, that can only be worse for the sport!
Just follow the money.
DeepThroat, you just hit the nail squarely on the head....
the article notes that elG hasnt spoken to him in "a year and a half"
correct me if im wrong, isnt that about the beginning of boulami's meteoric rise to the top? if you get what im implying
(by the by, the phrase "meteoric rise" doesnt really make sense. Don't meteors fall? In Boulami's case, they do, they sure do.)
What is the threshold that separates a "hobbyjogger" from a "sub-elite" runner?
