Let's take bets. WIll there be any mention of the NOP allegations. I predict no.
Now I just turned it on so let me know if they've already mentioned it.
Alright men's 800.
Prediction: Aman 1:44.02
Unfortunately, there is no way to post results from the IAAF website this year.
Men's 400h
American Jonny Dutch, who was the winner at Pre, had a big lead coming into the homestretch and held on for a win over Michael Tinsley. Dutch won in a seasonal best of 48.13 (#2 in the world) as Tinsley was second in 48.34 (#3 in the world this year).
Weird fact: Everyone in the race either ran a seasonal best or lifetime best. Finishing fourth in a new Irish national record of 48.65 was Thomas Barr. He broke his own record of 48.90.
Women 200
Running in lane five, Jeneba Tarmoh had a big lead at the 100 meter mark and held on for the win 22.77. There was a near blanket finish for spots 2-5.

I'm betting no as well. With no NOP runners in the fields, they would need to go out of their way to mention it.
Side note, this 800 looks very promising.
Aman wins 1:43.56
Aman looked good again today, getting his second DL win in six days. As in Eugene, Amos was second.
It was a fast time (1:43.56), and could have been even faster if Aman and Amos didn't run extra distance on the final turn (Amos in particular ran most of it in lane 2).
Aman is so consistent on the DL circuit. He had a hiccup in Eugene but apart from that he's been dominant the last few years.

I love watching Aman and Amos race. Unlike so many pros who look like they aren't even running hard, those two look like they are dead at 600 in each and every race.
I feel like Amos maybe should be more patient. This week and last week he's having to go 3 wide on the last turn. I guess waiting for the rail to open up is risky.
THe top 5 guys all ran 1:44.00 or faster.
Weldon, or anyone in Eugene, was their explanation for why AMan was so bad in Doha? He's really quickly turned into his old self.
The women's 100 hurdles was wild.
Olympic champ Sally Pearson didn't finish and looks to be in a lot of pain, grabbing her left wrist.
Jasmin Stowers, who has been unbeatable this year, hit the seventh hurdle and couldn't recover. She didn't finish either.
Sharika Nelvis got the win in a PR 12.52.
Yah it's great to see two great rivals (Aman and Amos) race each other so often. 800 is always the best race in every meet. Props to Bosse for pushing the pace despite dying in the final 100.

This upcoming 5k might have something to say about that.
Women's 100h
Wow, this was far from your standard women’s hurdle race.
Heavy favorite Jasmine Stowers, who came in with as the world leader at 12.35, was running great until she butchered the 7th hurdle which caused her to barely get over hurdle #8 and she was forced to pulling up as she was about to slam into hurdle number 9. But before that, Olympic champion Sally Pearson went down on hurdle number five and may have broken her left wrist as she came flying down face first in the fall. In the end, Sharika Nelvis got the win out of lane 2 in a new pb of 12.52 - the same wind-aided time she ran to win the 2013 NCAA title for Arkansas State.
4:08 for the leaders at 1600 in the 5k. They're going for it!
I can't watch this thing til later, but the Diamond League site now tells who is in the lead every lap and how far they are. No split times though.

I hope so =)
Men's 5k is on. Depsite the high tempos (it was 79 an hour ago with 51% humidity), the guys went through the 1600 in 408.
7:46.8 at 3000. That's 12:58 pace.
Could see something in the low-12:50s with a kick.
Pack of 9 men at 819 for 3200.
11:01 with 800 to go.
Fantastic finish to the men's 5k. Yomif Kejelcha, who is (officially) 17 years old ran his second 5k PR in a week, running a world-leading 12:58 (he also won Pre in 13:10).
Paul Tanui, who ran 26:51 six days ago, looked like he might have been dropped but kicked very well in the homestretch to get second.
