Abdi is not a legend. Great runner. Sure I'll give him that. He made 4 Olympic teams. That is great. No legend though. Now say he comes back for the track trials and beats Rupp in the 10000m and makes his 5th team. Then he would be a legend.

I think Mo Farah has that title wrapped up.

Likeable guy but he really pulled one out of his ass to make the 2012 team while waving to the crowd running 2:09 pace. Nothing he did right before or after indicated that kind of fitness. In this day and age you have to be skeptical. Also believe he was training with know drug cheat Mo Trafeah leading up to the 2012 trials.
He was training with Mo Trafeh and Martin Fagan before 2012 Olympic Trials. Both busted for EPO.
K Bekeelee shits on Farah

Maybe they juiced to keep up with Abdi. Do most high school and college teammates eat/supplement the same?

Not a log distance guy. He takes the middle distance crown though.
To be honest - I might be mixing people up. Abdi was training with Ezkyas Sisay who got busted for EPO and Fagan right around 2012. I'm going off of memory from some news article.

And spent this last winter training with Mo Farah in Ethiopia.
+ 1. Seems like a great guy, too. I hope he recovers quickly.

Myself and other athletes I know have trained along side of dopers. Some athletes don't dope because they don't need to and/or cheating is not in their nature. When you are at the top level, it is difficult to chance your training situation especially in an Olympic year because one of your training partners is a suspected doper. With that said, Abdi has trained along side of a total of 4 convicted and/or suspected dopers in a small and somewhat isolated training group; the optics of that situation are not good. However, there is nothing about Abdi's career to suggest he has ever doped.
Btw, I am confused about Abdi pulling out of the OTM because only a week ago he said he was healthy and training was going well.
