Dibaba in albuquerque

Why would a woman prefer to train in the US rather than Ethiopia?

- perfect weather in AZ

- ideal medical infrastructure (e.g. the best hospitals in the world)

- clean air

- high quality tracks

- rich men for dating purposes

Crazy Dibaba drug speculation because one Dibaba may have been in ABQ this morning was without merit.

In ABQ, once Leonid Shvetsov moved on, it no longer had the appeal that it did in the past.

HUH???

The start of your post sounds like you are going to disagree with Rojo and then you go on to list numerous reasons why someone would train in ABQ for reasons other than doping.

Aren't you like a philosophy PHD or something. I can barely comprehend anything you write.

What state do you like this time of year Angry Willy? Why do you care if a Russian Marathoner trains in ABQ, NM? Would you rather winter in Superior, WI or Georgetown, CO?

Anyone know why the Ethiopians are in Albuquerque right now? I am 100% sure that I saw Dibaba today with a whole group of Ethiopians. This also leads me to believe that the tumors are true of her having left Aden.

I guess it is possible because athletes from a lot of countries train Albuquerque, but I am not sure what the Ethiopians would have to gain training in Albuquerque. Ethiopia has two excellent training camps.

but the last place a top notch doped up African wants to train is in the US as the testing over hear would be more frequent than over there.

Again, testing is up to the IAAF for international elite. The other unlikely alternative is the RADO/NADO orders tests.... that go back to the IAAF.

How many different ways does this need to be explained? Let's say the IAAF goes crazy and DOUBLES blood tests. In 2014 there were < 20 blood tests. Wow! 40-something tests!!!! Thousands of easily defeated urine tests...

..

........

And no one important gets sanctioned. See Diack bribes, IAAF bribes, Seppelt's sample set reporting.

The number of tests don't matter when nothing is done with positive results.

Rojo-

Please check your email. It's possible I saw the group that the OP is referring to today on the treadmills in ABQ.

Look around for used syringes

Superior, WI without a doubt

Chevron Houston Marathon and Half:

"2015 Aramco Houston Half Marathon champion Diego Estrada, who has a personal best of 60:51 from that race, is the top American in the field.

2015 IAAF World Marathon champion and Boston Marathon runner-up Mare Dibaba, who owns a half marathon personal best of 1:07:13, is a top contender in the women’s Aramco Houston Half Marathon"

It's a 13 hour drive to Houston? Is that in the same time zone for her bio-rhythms?

And why train on treadmills. Are they in a building at a lower altitude for running 5:10 miles?

Sub 1:09 for Mare = $30,000.

Would that be $50 grand with appearance? The 2 hour air flight from Albuquerque is cheap, so its a good investment. She just has to deliver.

She will, if the EPO got delivered
