This isn't Jo Pavey in a million years, it's also def not Ohugorou, it's an endurance athlete. Kelly Holmes retired in 2005. The three tests cover a period up until 2008 .

Wow, they did a sloppy job with the blurring there. The last letters are just blended together, and if they happen to resemble each other, the blurred result remains recognisable.

Are you seeing some FFEs?

BS
Pretty clear to see that the last few letters of the surname are F's and E's
the idiocy here can be impressive
Take that image into Photoshop and use the hi-pass filter and then multiply the later a few times on the hard light filter and you can see the last 3 to 4 letters if that image is genuine.
Radcliffe was outed as the British Star back in December 2014 when the previous documentary came out with the IAAF blood value leaks. Have a read here:

Talks about off-scores off the charts and her excuse being that she'd had a baby.
Twitter user "Race Radio" has been hounding her ever since on Twitter.
Does "Race Radio" actually have any inside information? Or is he just another message-board rumour mongerer?
He broke a lot of the Lance info very early and he has been tweeting Paula for months asking her numerous questions, all of which she has ignored.

Sports quiz wrote:Get your facts right, Kelly ran 1.56 in 1995 and ran there or thereabouts 1.56/57/58 for the best part of ten years. Her physique was as muscular when she came on the scene as when she left. Her times were not earth shattering (unlike others) and she won in an era where the 800 and the 1500 were wide open. It's not her.
To be clear, I am not questioning Kelly's ability as a career 800m runner -or even a 1500m for that matter, I know she ran some fast times in the mid-90s. But, her career was definitely in decline around 2003. She wasn't running 1:56 800s or sub-4 1500s anymore; she was getting old. In 2003 I don't think she was ranked in the top-10 in either 800 or the 1500, in fact, in 2003 there were several British athletes ranked ahead of her. The fact that she beat Mutola and all of the Russians in the Athens 800m was surprising, but not off the charts. However, her Olympic 1500m victory was absolutely off the charts and unexpected. The mere fact that an athlete who had never won any Olympic medal, would even attempt the 800/1500 double was crazy. This reminded me of the typical scenario of an athlete in twilight of their career, using dope to get back to their glory days.
With all of that said, other than her 2004 Olympic performances, I don't know of anything that points the finger at her. And, I agree with you that she never had physique of a typical 1500m runner. However, what I have always found interesting is the very muted praise her own countrymen like McColgan, Pavey and Tulet give when Kelly's name comes up. The British public was all over Kelly, but I don't recall British middle distance athletes having much to say about her Olympic performances. Even to this day, among British athletes, she gets nowhere near the praise of someone like Coe or Overt, even though she did something they never did. The suspicions about Kelly is not just me, but from other athletes, the people who know and have trained with her...her own countrymen.
If Kelly Holmes was at the peak of her career in 2004, why did she retire shortly after?
Also, why did FloJo retire after 2008, when she had barely scratched the surface of her 400 potential? Remember, she ran anchor leg of Seoul 1600 relay.
Paula tweeted about 115 times in the month of July, the last one being July 30th, 2 days before the documentary was released. Since then, nothing.

He is definitely well connected in cycling circles and he seemed to have prior knowledge of the BBC/Epstein NOP stuff months before it came out
Sir Flo Jo had been dead for about 10 years in 2008.

Uh oh, this doesn't look good. It's just an aggressive horizontal blur, which means that any letters with strong horizontal components will persist in the result. E's and F's. E is a pretty common letter, and so you can see the horizontal lines within a lot of the names. The GBR athlete in question has horizontal lines at the end. 'Ohuruogu' definitely does not fit, and it's more likely to be RadcliFFE than HolmEs
letsrun detectives know all about blurring patterns. fascinating.
a more fruitful endeavor might be to compare the length of the names of the french athlete above and the german below.
But it is all a useless blur. Or nearly useless....
Since we are talking about the horizontal aspects to these smudges, I note that the German name is much more likely to end in an E as the top, middle, and bottom horizontal bars appear much more distinctly than the Brit name above. And the German's is clearly the longer name of the three, French and British being about the same length.
Can someone please send the blurred image to a crime lab for processing? This is an urgent matter.
Blurred E's, you know she's on it.
