Kelly Holmes is the British athlete with highly suspicious blood values

i must admit i was shocked she won double gold when in athens she looked in 1'55-mid / high & 3'55+ shape

( she ran ridiculous amount wide on bends in her 3'57 )

in last meet before games, zurich, she got walloped by a fringe-elite polish gal in 4'03+ !!!

holmes wouda been lucky to reach the final in that shape !!!

coupla weeks later she was invincible !!!

Which talk radio host? And why has he seen the list? Not disputing what you are saying but it is important to know who says what given the implications.

Can't find anything to back this up. Give us more details

[citation needed]

Who was Kelly Holmes's coach when she won the Olympics?

Looks like the Freud PR firm is in full swing already deflecting the blame from Nike Radcliffe. Keep it up boys!

It's not Holmes, it's an open secret online who it is.

Then can you suggest some words to google so we can see for ourselves?

Look at successful British athletes over the shorter stuff in major championships. Put a little bit of effort in and you will figure it out. Jeez.

The suspicious blood values were passed off as the result of dehydration and altitude training. Which shorter distance athletes would use these excuses?

The people the original poster are referencing have stated it is Kelly Holmes. They claim to have seen the documents in question.

If we are talking about Olympics, Radcliffe never came close to a medal in 2004 or 2008 but she did win a World Championship gold in - when? I've completely forgotten!

Holmes switched to be coached by Maria Mutola's coach approx. 12 months before her gold medals.

If these blood values can be so easily explained away (altitude training, dehydration etc.) why are the individuals concerned so desperate to keep their name secret? Why is their automatic reaction to threaten legal action against any journalist who considers releasing their name? Tactics, by the way, very reminiscent of Mr. Armstrong!

World Athletics championships in Helsinki 2005.

Radcliffe ran the 10,000 and came 9th in 30:42 and then won the marathon 6 days later.

I haven't kept up with all the news reports. Did they specify if the unnamed British athlete was an Olympic medallist, or just a "top level athlete" or "medal winner"?

It's not Holmes as there was previous reference for the top British athlete to a time period when this first came out months ago. The time then was for the years 2006-8 when Holmes was retired

You must be the last person in Britain to not know who the athlete is

Please feel free to reply with your usual nonsense

..timeframe is 2006-2009

..athlete is not jessica ennis or mo farah

.."The athlete firmly states that they never cheated and supports calls for more money to be spent on stamping out blood-doping."

..9 other athletes were tested in same event

...altitude and dehydration are mentioned as factors

there is only 1 athlete it can be

Radcliffe is already protecting her money!!! Guarantee she is sending money to oversea accounts and will claim poverty.

Radcliffe's record in 2006-09 is nothing special
