Hassan Withdraws from London Marathon

Ramadan ain’t easy bro.

Let the withdrawals begin! Counting down the days until Emile Cairess announces his disappointment at withdrawing the race

Was she told she’d have to submit to an actual drug test?

Cairess for the british record!

A real shame. My favourite current runner. Would love to see her in a fast autumn marathon such as Berlin or Valencia, see if she can get down to a 2:12.

Beat me to it.

Me three. One of the most obvious needle lover on the roads and the track.

It’s not like she is not known! With all the year around testing, out of competitions testings and biological passports now, I don’t think a lot of athletes are doping if so then the whole system is corrupted! If you think it’s all rigged then there is no need to follow the sport!

That darn treadmill 😅.

or was it a undesirable “home” testing result.

I need details on this "treadmill mishap". What does that even mean!?

You want details, you don’t need them. I am sure you understand.

Yeah, like she has never been tested before in all her Olympic, WC, DL and major marathon appearances.

He specified “actual”, as it’s obvious certain people were being aided by lack of enforcement, falsified results etc. people loke her.

A lot are safely microdosing. Others are risking more, and might get caught (Kiprop, Houlihan, ...), or have to dodge the tester (Coleman, Katir) or quickly take a masking agent (Chepngetich).

Likewise. Still plenty of firepower up top:

Tight Assefa

Joyciline Jepkosgei

Peres Jepchirchir

Helen Obiri

Peres out now as well
