Kenya bans 1:59 runner Agatha Jeruto - Eunice Sum's training partner - and 67:32 half marathoner Josephine Chepkoech for roids

Not $18,000 USD, but 18,000 of the local currency from the race.

this was "announced" by IAAF a week ago, and there is also a week old thread about it on this very forum:

Sadly all these drug busts have now just become ho-hum, witness the response to this and the other thread (http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=6766450), no one really believes the powers that be are getting to grips with it. Look at all the recent publicity on Radcliffe, that was never pursued and proper pressure put on her to release her values, including those from all the old frozen samples she used to say she kept for future testing.

It doesn't look like it's going to change with Coe and his cronies there either and unfortunately you watch any athletics now it's with doubts about them being free of PEDs. May change one day, who knows.

Well it wasn't picked up by the Kenyan press. When you say "Jeruto banned" no one knows who that is. When you say, that Eunice Sum's training partner and one of Rosa's athletes test positives, it's a story.

Kenyan press has known for a long time while just sitting around looking at eash other, hoping someone else would break the story.

Jeruto was the up-and-comming womens 800 m star. When she wasn't named for the Beijing team it had to make anyone following Kenyan track running sit up.

You can't trust the Kenyan press to expose Kenyan doping.

There is no secret about who Jeruto's agent is:

For steroids

I was wondering why all those Kenyan women have even less hair than I do

Why did this take half a year?
