Been busted last year , so during AL Garroge old coach from 2013 to 2014, sad news

Nothing sad about it. It is a joyous occasion when a cheating African is busted. Screw them. WASP people need to get back in the game.

Why only him been busted after he left Aden's group early 2013, remember aden coached kaki, Sulieman, makhloufi, Ismail Ahmed , G debaba and others they all top athletes . Somalians are great athletes if they find the opportunity look around and see running for many countries US, Canada , UK, Belgium, Holland and great Abdi bile

Excellent. Let's weed out these cheating pieces of sh!t. Knew that guy was too good to be true. He even looked his stated age. Naive idiots like rekrunner will continue to believe that Africans (both North and East) are genetic marvels, but the whole farce is slowly unravelling.

What do you expect from some dodgy Somalian like Jama Aden, and it goes without saying that Moroccans are inherently corrupt.

Now, where is Farah from? Oh yeah......

They are genetic marvels. Some of them also cheat.

Hamza Driouch former junior world champ banned for 2 years due to positive blood testing.

Isn't he the guy who trained with Mo Farah in Ethopia? He cheated but Mo still clean?

It looked like the ban start from last year . He was with mo this year.

according to wiki (which I know is not the more reliable of sources) he is coached by Jama Aden. The same one that coaches Kaki, T Debaba, Souleiman, David Torrence, and for a while Makhloufi.

That ban's been a few years coming. Told me in 2010 he ran a w/o that went 15, 12, 1k, 8, 6, 4 off 4mins. 339, 257, 224, 150, 120, 50 #dirty

just checked my blog. Actual times were 3:37, 2:24, 1:48, 1:20 and 52. @TheRealMerb his coach was in the room too.

That's outdated, Driouch hasn't been in that group in a couple years. David Torrence is now coached by Abdi Bile.

Drugs are global. They cannot explain regional dominance for decades.I can change my beliefs with evidence.

Pity that Manzano didn't get his gold. If you think makhloufi is clean, then you've lost the plot.

As a side note, I saw Driouch working out in Barcelona the week before his world jr title. I've been around elite athletics for almost 30 years now, and I was betting money on him being the next in line of all time North African greats: aouita to Morceli to el gerrouj. Doped or not, the kid was really amazing to watch.

Greaaaaat. So that means he'll jog a couple miles 4 days a week, then drink black tea with sugar in it the rest of the time. Really wish Torrence would get with Rowland.

Aouita guerrouj morcelli were doped too

Aouita had steroids and blood dope

Guerrouj had the same stuff as lance

Has Nike issued a statement regarding their contract with young hamza?

Is he the last morrocan that wasn't banned?

Is there any more left that haven't been nailed

I 100% agree with you.

sad news in the sense that this kid looked like the second coming with that 3:50 at 18 or 19, looking that age, as well as a fast 1k, and in the 3:50 he was out pushing the pace ahead on lap 3. but then he fell off track entirely until this unspecified doping violation. in that picture with farah, he has virtually identical form. of course, in track if it looks unbelievable drugs are probably in the picture.

He popped on the scene when he was 16, and we all thought he was going to be something. When do you think he started doping? It's crazy how early some of these athletes get on the sauce. Some of those Turkish women started young too. I remember hearing about Driouch's last races and that he was under-performing because of an alleged blood disorder. Kind of reminds me of Mo Farah in reverse. Farah used to be in last lap contention then fade off the pace in big races--now he's untouchable. Driouch's last races before the ban were basically him doing the same as a younger Farah--dying badly. Still remember when Driouch went out in the rounds after a stumble and Mahkloufi was giving him a pep talk. I'm sorry, I don't trust any of these guys...

he was busted while training with under Elg's old coach, he was not training with Aden the last two years.
