Mo Trafeh is in my Running Club

Seems to me that someone needs to attend and take him up on that "Questions will be answered" part.

He never tested negative for anything. He was caught with EPO at an airport.

He retired from racing and served out suspension.

I would assume then in your opinion , anyone that has had a DUI should never drive again, divorced not be able to marry again, fired from a job for screwing up should not work again. Your logic is nonsense.

In fact the plan to use EPO was merely for training purposes, as Mo had been injured, and needed a product to pump him up. He did not take EPO to gain an advantage over his fellow runners. So, if we are to believe him, which is plausible - his 4 year ban from the sport seems to be way over the top, because he did not actually test positive for EPO - correct this if I am wrong on that...he was caught with the product but did not use it. There are mitigating circumstances in this case as well.

This is rich; straight from Ghost's rantings. Training & jnjuries are part of the running game. If you can get back to racing peak faster than a non-EPOian then you are cheating.

Ghost, positions available in Syria - apply now.

Ha! You said negative instead of positive. You look silly.

Many drug cheats never test positive.

I will again point to his rapid improvement as a red flag indicating drug use. All of the athletes that he competed against and cheated out of money knew what was going on.

He has not served out his suspension, he has over 3 years to go. So I have a problem with him coaching high school students. Not so much with him coaching hobby joggers but he should not be forgiven if he is not being honest about what he did. What is he telling them? That he suffered an injury that ended his career?

Also intersting that he is mentioning an association with Canova now on one of his fb pages. I wouldn't be surprised if Canova goes down as the infamous Dr. Ferrari of distance running.

Technically, if there is a kid from duarte HS who is good enough to make a Jr Nat'l team, he won't be eligible for worlds, provided usada informs the athlete that trafeh is on a "non-associate" list. this could get interesting.

I'd be surprised if canova even knows who he is. I've heard Trafeh exaggerates quite a lot, wouldn't doubt that he's never even met Canova. I could see an email or two but I'd be surprised if renato ever had anything to do with trafeh. not saying renato is a saint of course, haha.
