Radcliffe possibly being outed as one of the doping British athletes

Has any of the suspects said something about the list?

Radcliffe is perceived as cleaner than clean and more of a hero than Holmes. Holmes is not really in the public eye in comparison with Radcliffe. I also don't think you'd describe Holmes as cleaner than clean, that's how you'd describe Radcliffe.

The data 2006-08 had one highly suspicious British athlete (could be Radcliffe or Ohuruogou), the data 2001-2012 had a British athlete whose values were ridiculously off the charts - this athlete is Dame Kelly Holmes.

If they do decide to release names they cannot release the name of one British Star and not release the name of the other. The entire list of names should be made public so that the whole thing will be out in the open and then the proper investigations can begin.

The Dame clue makes me believe its Kelli Holmes.

The reason we want the names released is so that we can vent our venom on places like this. I think these results need to be reviewed by accredited independent experts, not by the internet mob, only then when they have been scientifically assessed, should names be named.

This is what Michael Ashendon wants, by the way.

Take a look at the athletes twitter accounts, one continues to tweet pretty naturally since the show was aired, the other is silent, I'd have thought as prominent names in the sport both would have spoken out about this shocking situation, especially given their reputation and profile.

There is no "dame clue". An anonymous poster on this forum says they heard it on a New Zealand radio show. OK, well let's find out which show this is and if that is what was really said, and then assess the credibility of it.

Kimmage is much closer to events, in the past he worked for the paper that broke the story and follows these sorts of stories. That interview on Irish radio screams Paula Radcliffe, not Kelly. That doesn't make it true but it is still more credible than the original poster.

If one has a knighthood and one does not, which one is the hero in the eyes of the British public?

Interesting point about the who is still tweeting...

Kelly Holmes is not really in the public eye. Paula Radcliffe is. You'll hear references to her in comedy programmes, never to Kelly Holmes. Paula is known for her histrionics during the Olympics, for having used the Mall as a public convenience, for her London Marathon (which is always broadcast live on the TV). In terms of exposure and her mixture of brilliance and failure (a combination that the UK pubilc tend to like), Paula Radcliffe is by far the more public figure. To be honest, I'd forgotten Kelly Holmes was knighted ...

Kelli Holmes basically goes by Dame Kelli Holmes these days. You'll never seen her mentioned differently, the Brits here can attest to this.

Paula has been increasingly less and less vocal on the drug issue, did she even make a comment at all about the NOP issue? A few years ago she'd have been all over this, no comments about Farah or about these recent revelations.... The silence is.....

I will say again the time period for the tests was 06 to 08, Kelly retired in 05

Exactly:

The real reason the name is being withheld is because they already have a doping record and it will not be such a surprise:

Who are you referring to that already has a doping record?

What's this idiocy about Radcliffe or Holmes?

It's Christine Ohuruogu and that's been well-known for several months.

A former New Zealand MP good enough for ya?

The photo of the list clearly shows a shirt first name and long second name. I would also argue that Christine is not a household name. Nor does she train at altitude

There is a link to this thread on the front page of letsrun. That should tell you all you need to know.

Furthermore, these allegations make the NOP grey area athsma medication and IV "usage" look amateur. In fact, it justifies playing in the grey area. How else could you compete with reckless EPO abusers?

That you think that an automatically generated link means anything tells us all about you.
