Another win for the cheats! - Pamela Chepchumba

why cheats then, what's that all about,
Kenyans win races because they're better than most everybody else. Why accuse them of being cheats. They don't ALL charge up you know, in fact most of them probably don't.

You should instead credit Kenyans. Because they are better runners you just resort to cheats. Did you read the report regarding this lady? Someone gave her food mixed with those juices.

Kenya suspends Pamela Chepchumba after positive test

Kenya's former national cross-country champion Pamela Chepchumba has been suspended from international competition by Athletics Kenya after a positive test for the banned blood-boosting drug EPO.

Athletics Kenya chairman Isaiah Kiplagat told Reuters Chepchumba had tested positive for erythropoietin at the world cross-country championships in Lausanne on March 29.

"According to IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federation) rules, we have immediately suspended her from international competition pending the results of the B sample, which she has requested and should come out in the next two weeks," he said.

The A sample given by Chepchumba, who finished sixth in the women's eight kilometre race in Lausanne, showed traces of EPO, a drug injected directly into the blood stream that increases the red cells to improve stamina and performance.

The race was won by Ethiopia's Werknesh Kidane.

Chepchumba's suspension is one of the highest-profile cases involving a Kenyan athlete since the sanctions imposed on former five-times world cross-country champion John Ngugi in 1993 and 400 metres runner Simon Kemboi in 2000.

Kemboi failed a dope test at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and was sent home and subsequently suspended for two years.

Ngugi refused a random dope test because he said the IAAF doctors who visited his rural home had failed to identify themselves.

He was cleared but has since stopped competing.

"It is very unfortunate that such a thing has happened when our athletes are known to be clean," Kiplagat said.

"We can't talk much at the moment as we are awaiting results of the sample B."

The second test will be conducted on June 6 at the IAAF headquarters in Monte Carlo in the presence of Chepchumba, her manager Federico Rosa and doctor Gabrielle Rosa.

Chepchumba is married to Boaz Kibet Kimaiyo, who last year was second in the Vienna Marathon and sixth in the Amsterdam Marathon.

She started running for Kenya in 1992, finishing 27th in the world cross-country championships in Boston.

Chepchumba was a silver medallist in the national championships in 1993.

The 24-year-old moved to road races between 1996 and 2001 before returning to cross-country in 2001.

She was fifth at the world cross-country championships in the 8km in 2001 and ninth in 2002 after winning the women's national cross-country title.

How many Americans have used EPO? Who manufactures this drug?

Thinking about it didn't the association that all the big agents are members of say they wouldn't represent people that had been banned for two years or more? I assume Dr Rosa is a member of this association?

Americans that have taken EPO include:

Eddy Hellybuck
Deeja Youngquist, Teddy Mitchell's girlfriend plus he was her coach.
Bernard Lagat had a positive A sample but the B came back negative.

I'm sure there's more

depends what label it is. There are various form one for each
major drug house. THere are new versions such as Aranesp and
Dynepo.

American users?? who knows, don't think anyone really significant has been caught using but the tests are failry easy to circumnavigate if you have an IQ higher than say 30.
Legat and Marion Jones both had A samples that tested positive
but inconclusive B's let them off.

Gatlin???

Amps (for an attention disorder) and then the sprinters bane Testosterone; More and more athletes and sportspeople are going down for testosterone. It really is a basic product that
was abused for years but because it's naturally produced it wasn't easy to prove doping.New test which xcompare Testosterone.Epitestosterone ratios more accurately have led to the downfall of many. Helps you recover more quickly and build muscle mass.

Who?
Argentina
China
Thailand

Lagat doesn't count.

A simple question. Who is Pamela Chepchumba's agent or coach? I'd like to know because I thought Kenyans didn't cheat.

You better be talking facts. Run good if you're able and avoid being a bull shit or punk who writes nonsense about Chepchumba.

Why nonsense? Time in her name in google and this is the first article. She cheated. End of story!

"Pamela Chepchumba was handed a two-year ban after testing positive for EPO at the world cross country championships in Lausanne in March."

"What is this drug EPO?"; "Kenyans don't cheat" You guys kill me - it's like a cycling forum from like, oh, 1988... you really need to get out more...
