Jeptoo busted, WHO is next?

Also will this forfeit her wins in chicago / boston this year? How does that work?

Chicago yes, Boston no.

is it announced what she was abusing?

Have to find out first what she was tested positive for.

There's a big difference between trace elements of cannabis finding their way into her ugali and veins swimming in EPO...

Your thread.

Once again, every top athlete is using in some form.

You wouldn't know.

Just got confirmation from Athletics Kenya -- the A sample was positive for EPO.

Multiple sources.

This definitely makes me think her training partners and other top africans are doping..

Firstly, what do you think she was using?

secondly WHO is next to be busted?

Why does this make you think other top African runners are also doping? The fact that she was caught in Kenya and outed by the Kenyan Authority should give us trust in the system that they are not protecting their own and that the guilty ones will be shown up.

Your naivete is cute.

Tyson Gay was busted. All 3: are on Peds.

She had 2:19:58 as her PB

I'm thinking in someone 4 minutes faster.

Confirmed she tested for EPO.

A LOT of the top marathoners are likely on PEDs. It is much easier to avoid out of competition testing while running 2 races a year and living in some remote place with little testing capability. They probably get clean the last month before the race, the enhanced training is already done but the test comes up clean. The effects of the training and even the PEDs last for months to years after use.

Have people forgotten about the German Journalist who found easy access to PEDs in Kenya? That coupled with minimal testing facilities, rare out of competition testing, life changing single paydays, European coaches/agents who get a cut and have cycling medical connections, and consistently insane marathon times point to something not quite on the level. Even if caught, most of the money is still in the hands of the cheater and will never be recovered. Their life is changed for the better even if their results are erased. What's the incentive NOT to use?

Absolute Bull Shit. The Kenya Federation are a big part of the problem. They even denied that they knew anything even though they have known for some days. Lies lies and more lies. Corrupt to the core.

Wejo?

I wonder if they'll give her a Tyson Gayish 'offer she can't refuse' and see if she will implicate others.

Now that would be interesting.

If her B sample comes up positive, she can't be the only one doing PEDs in Kenya.

How can we not turn the spotlight on Kimetto who is also running amazing times in his 30s?!

What some vague allegations and nothing happening apart from a reduced sentence
