Can a Swedish speaker help us get a totally acurate translation? Here is what my translation says:
"(Aregawi's) Dutch management company Global Sports Communications showed a little more humanity, but behaved strangely at the same time. Very quickly they began to spread the story of a doctor from the Ukraine has been seen in Addis Ababa. They had no name and they had no proof - but they wanted the focus would be on that doctor, that he could be the culprit.
"Why? Perhaps because they have the doctor Pieter Vergouwen in his stable.
He treated recently Abeba Aregawi and has a least dubious background. Previously, he worked with several active as caught for doping and Vergouwen himself has talked openly about that we should legalize the EPO."

EPO stands for "Explosive Personal Ordinance".
He wants to turn Ethiopian runners into suicide bombers.

The fact that Hermens - who was an agent to Bekele and Geb - may have been employing a dude who is into PEDs is pretty big.

There's some doubt in your mind that Hermens is dirty? The sport either does have a huge problem or doesn't have a problem at all depending on your perspective. A small minority of medalists are clean so the playing field is pretty level for them. No real problem. If people want to go digging for skeletons, they are going to find them and just like BALCO when one goes he just might turn someone else in and it will be a house of cards, big problem.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but, it's a problem. It means the federation is okay with doping.

That was 1998 and almost 16 years later the same doctor still working for the top agent Jos Hermans. Since he gets paid from the proceeds from races and the more the winners in the staple the more money for him and his employer, I guarantee this guy dopes athletes with or without their permission. He is just like Alberto SAlazar but worse than Alberto because he is a medical doctor. And guess who his clients include? Kenenisa Bekele, Haile GebrSilassie among other top stars.

Why would he dope someone without telling them? THE MAIN PERFORMANCE ENHANCER WHEN YOU TAKE PEDS IS PSYCHOLOGICAL, KNOWING THAT YOU CAN DO MORE OR RUN FASTER THAN YOU USED TO

Just because one wants to legalize EPO doesn't mean one uses EPO.

Hermens is a manager and agent. Does anyone know how close he is to the coaching of the athletes he represents? I assume Hermans would look after the commercial aspects but if an athlete signs with him, for instance, would he dictate who is coaching and looking after the medical needs of that athlete?

If you watched Bekele's marathon debut in Paris, Hermens sure seemed to be pretty involved.

You are completely wrong. Are you insinuating that if someone gives me a drink just before a marathon race and tells me it is EPO, that I can then be able to run 2:03 or 2:02? That may fall on the superstitious side but still it won't happen I promise you. Go and try it.

On the other hand if an athlete is sabotaged and unknowingly takes EPO or any other performance enhancement drug, he or she will perform well beyond where he would have drugs without the drugs. Many third world athletes do not know everything out there and an agent might just give them some tablet for headache or a cough.

During Bekele's 12:37, Hermens was on the side of the track yelling splits at him and coaching him. That Hermens is involved in doping his athletes would not surprise me at all. His athletes perform beyond what were the limits of very hard training athletes for decades of the modern sport.
