Benard Kibet Koech, 5th in Paris Olympic 10,000, POPPED

*10 miles (44:04)

What exactly must happen until managers behind the athletes get sanctioned as well?

Seb Coe- get on the ball. It's LONG past time to ban Kenya.

And redistribute the 76 Olympic Marathon medals while you're at it.

"In a statement, AIU said the Paris Olympian is guilty of doping despite Koech arguing that the presence of erythropoietin (EPO) was due to a combination of factors, including Covid-19, high altitude training and use of oral iron supplements."

lol, admitting you had EPO in your system but still going with "it's not my fault" is quite the strategy.

Anyone still wondering, epo and steroids are still the go to peds.

So to anyone who wonders why many of us are skeptical and have lost confidence in the sport, I'd like to refer you to exhibit 19,672 above.

Obiri is next

Writing World Athletics now to alert them of my world best time in the 10 mile!

I'm not sure if you know how this works. Everyone has EPO in their system, the body produces it. Injection of Synthesized EPO is not detectable, which is why the ABP system was used. To detect an unusual increase over time.

Not to defend the guy, but I'd be curious to know how much his hemoglobin level increased, and also what is the accepted standard on a normal increase due to the effects of altitude training and iron supplements.

Time to face facts, ALL the high-level runners are doping. There's no way the guys beating the dopers are clean. The smart ones just don't get caught. It's sad to admit, but it's reality.

Nico Young now finishes 11th and there are 8 East Africans ahead of him so technically he still has a chance to medal.

You meant bronze, right?

You are a bunch of looser runners sticking on any doping news and flooding this forum to prove nothing while having a big cloud working your minds.

The superiority of East African.

Is that not so obvious?

Sticking on a doping bust of a 30s year old runners without any medals.

lol....then how do ANY athletes test negative for it? You must be a Kenyan teen of 35 years old.

Testosterone is produced naturally too, rock eater. Tests can detect higher levels and snag beef truck eating athletes every so often.

As well as the Americans, Brits, Canadians, Danes, Ethiopian....

One thing for sure, Letsrun crew will continue to minimalise it. Has to be an American for it to stay in running news!
