you can get all peds as medicines somewhere. Did you think the sports doper market was big enough to justify producing these drugs? If only sports dopers used them, we could just track the purchases and arrest the purchasers. -
All this talk of widespread doping in Ethiopia is such an unfortunate coincidence for Dibaba and the British guy who trains there and started trouncing everyone in the world in middle age . . . and who can't hear the doorbell during his hours-long showers.

Fascinating. Wonder who the five top athletes might be?
"This comes after Solomon Meaza, the general secretary of the Ethiopian Anti-Doping Agency, revealed how nine of the country’s runners were under investigation.
Five of them are “top athletesâ€, the official told Associated Press." -
On the front page of LetsRun, the caption for this story reads, "The 2:04 Ethiopian marathoner failed a test for meldonium." The "2:04" is crossed out, suggesting that it should not count because he tested positive for meldonium.
Serious question: Since meldonium has only been beened for two months, and Negesse ran his 2:04 in 2013, why would this test invalidate that race?
*It's possible that I'm missing something obvious, as I haven't been following this very closely. Sorry if this is a stupid question. -

Except, in many places in the world pharmaceuticals are sold on a shelf next to the aspirin.
Let's pretend this happened in the U.S. There's no penalty for it. The M.D. just needs the thinnest veneer of an excuse. -
letsracer,
I didn't read that right. I agree with you. -
There is no ETH anti doping agency.
