Where did Mo go to college? I didn't see him in the NCAA xc results.

Where James Li is the coach, as he was for Lagat, who had that positive A-test....

But if the athletes are not aware of the full extent of 'medicines' being put into the syringes, are they really doping?

Wow, just wow. That is the dumbest thing I've ever read on here.

I guess these athletes below weren't doping either, right?

However, in 1975, as the pressure for success grew and training workloads increased to more than 18km (about 11 miles) a day in water, she said she was "astonished that I had grown so much. I put on eight kilos (about 18lb), but in muscle, not height".

"Now, after all this time, I still ask myself whether it could be possible they gave me things, because I remember being given injections during training and competition, but this was explained to me as being substances to help me regenerate and recuperate. It was natural to think this way because the distance swimmers had more injections than we did as sprinters," says Ender.

If I read your article correctly, it's also very interesting apparently no one at the U.S. federation is processing whereabouts failures as anti-doping violations.

Another opportunity for senior USATF people to make money in the worst case. In the best case, it allows huge performance gains through doping.

Is Trafeh a favored athlete at USATF? I would assume so, but don't follow the sport closely.

I'm assuming USATF has favored athletes like other IOC sports with poor (no money for bribes), lower-ranked dopers the ones getting the sanctions.

USADA was trying to cite Mo on lying about his whereabout.

The only thing you couldn't tell from the report was whether when they went to test him in Morocco a few days after he flew back to the US if they knew he was back in the US at the time. He obviously wasn't where they thought he was in Morocco but he lied and told them he was visiting his mother in Morocco. Eventually they found out for sure he was in the US from Homeland Security. I think they already knew it at this time but from reading the report you can not be sure.

Explain more about the nosedive in 2011. 2:04 in Boston? making an olympic team in Houston trials (January 2012)?

Mr. Wrong, do you have any idea how many runners, elite or not, live and train in Flagstaff? What is your point? If you are trying to make sense from point #3 of the BroJo's piece, then you might wish to review "trained and lived with" again to get some focus.

After the 2011 Boston all races were sub-par for him and each was worse than the previous.
