Breaking: The IAAF drops the hammer - 28 athletes busted from re-test of samples from 2005 and 2007 World Champs !!

Were these EPO tests?

Galen Rupp was on the 2007 World Champs team why wasn't he busted?

Remember that suspicious blood values are not positive tests. So, if PR is on the former list, that would not mean that she would be on the list for banning.

Are there any protected countries or regions? Sure. Russia is hugely protected, and can run a national doping program with impunity, no threat of being kicked out of the IAAF despite many, many individual doping positives. American sprinters are caught all of the time. Go back the past fifteen years and you'll find literally a who's who of American sprinting on the banned list at some point or other, from Marion Jones to Tim Montgomery, Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin, Kellie White, and many others. So, American sprinters aren't being protected by the IAAF in any obvious way. Jamaican sprinters may be, for all I know, but a bunch of their big names (not the biggest) got slaps on the wrist and short suspensions for positive supplement tests recently. Kenya has had a lot of positives in recent years, even a big name in Rita Jeptoo, winner of numerous majors. Where many countries really get away with something is in not conducting blood tests and maybe barely any urine tests out of competition. Thus, Kenyans might never face any in country blood testing and so can dope with impunity or could while training, needing only a short window before competitions to test negative. And maybe that in part explains why they are always traveling back to Kenya between competitions even if it means major, major traveling. Another area in which protection takes place is in their "sensitivity" about gender. Women cannot compete on a level playing field with hermaphrodites and the like, who the IAAF now is going to allow to compete, regardless of testosterone readings. Finally, the legal area protects many, many athletes, making the IAAF very gun shy about announcing names where experts think they are guilty but maybe the athletes didn't agree to a certain type or duration of testing or maybe it is beyond their extant statute of limitations. They don't seem to police federations at all.

Bekele is definetly going to be one of them. He actually had a positive test in 2010. The IAAF made a deal with him. He could take a self imposed 18 month ban and the results would remain quiet. Remember after the WC in 09 he had that "mysterious calf injury". Well he was never injured. However him and his camp wanted to make the public think he was injured. He wasn't. The injury NEVER existed. His name I'm sure will be among the 28.

This never happened. You can rest assured that if Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay aren't getting special treatment, neither is an Ethiopian.

Cool story bro could you provide maybe just one little shred of evidence to support it?

Wow! This is an excellent piece of investigational journalism. How were you able to get the exclusive? Has the Sunday Times called you yet to offer you a job?

What is your next expose? It was the US gov behind 9/11? A man never walked on the moon (it has been a Walt Disney picture all along?)? One of the other Beetles shot Lennon?

Always stated why would'nt iaaf retro test

for CERA before 2008 .

It stunk at the time showing how corrupt iaaf is . protecting big names .

i dont know about Bekele after summer 2008 .But big names knew that cera was to be tested for and needed to be off it .

if that doesnt scream inside job and special treatment .what does.

considering left ramzi high and dry but on

positive keeps two world titles when was on cera then as otherwise have to retrotest

Considering others like IOC tested back to

2006 winter olympics and nabbed the newly spanish cross country skier for it.

Bekele , haile (later career resurgence)

Webb and qatari shaleen were without a doubt on it . As was wariner.

some from 2002. Look at progression.

It was the best epo , take year round and performances of these athletes

reflect this.

How many of these athletes are going down .all or none.

showes you how dirty iaaf is.................

Stinks of inside politics.

And if Seb wants the top job at iaaf

Will ukathletics and him have to sacrifice

Paula .

Not Bekele , not part of plan as said

protected ,knew test was happening and if he goes so do others mentioned.

Obvious bias towards certain countries that iaaf considers marketable and others

like russia ,eastern europe ,morroco that clearly doesnt want part of.

So best like WRESTLING that needs to be a split WWE v TNA with Bubka leading a separate breakaway union like a WAAF

representing eastern block and there interests .

Apologise that spanish cross country skier

was 2002 and for 2nd generation epo not 3rd generation cera. No faiĺ test for cera in

2006 winter olympics though. cheers ears

No American sprinter has been ever caught by the IAAF though. I wonder what the carbon-isotope T-test may reveal in Gatlin's 2005 samples..Sadly, USATF (Nike) would never let that test result see the light of day..

Why do people are too lazy to check their facts on this board ?

Kelli White tested positive for modafinil in the Wchamps in 2003, it was revealed during the competition.

Torri Edwards, World champs in 2003 over 100m was caught by IAAF during a low key meet in Martinique in 2004.

An US sprinter is not likely to be caught by the IAAF simply because pretty much all the OOC testing is done by USADA and as far as I know all of them are based on US territory

Because he as a non factor.

And Mo Farah was annihilated in the last lap of 5000m, even by Tegenkamp.

Abeylegesse is the first casualty:

Jo Pavey is set to be retrospectively upgraded to at least a bronze medal from the Osaka World Championships in 2007 with current silver medallist, Turkey’s Elvan Abeylegesse among 28 athletes to be charged with doping offences.

Simply not possible. She is Ethiopian born, again simply not possible.

Good news.

Next step is to strip Dibaba and Goucher of their tainted medals.
