DAMN WOMEN RUNNERS! Can't finish a damn race without collapsing all theatrical!!! Women runners are so dramatic, amirite??

If a woman runs further than 3k, her uterus will fall out.

You can see that she sits with spread legs in that wheel chair. I hope they can put it back up.

Doesn't make sense. She is clean (at a minimum wrt EPO) because all her ABP off-scores are even lower than super-clean Paula's. Who ran below 14:29 as a marathon specialist in marathon training.

That is incorrect. Paula's personal record is 14:29.11 for 5K.

Why do these people think that LRC will not catch them?

Thx for the correction. I thought 14:24, should have checked.

Why? Because most got away.

Ask Mike Rossi.

Ask Robert Young.

Ask Alberto.

Ask Paula.

Ask Mo.

Ask Dr. Saugy.

Ask Jos Hermens.

Ask Haile.

Ask Bekele.

Ask Bolt.

Ask M. Johnson.

Ask Jeter.

...

OK?

What fun!!!

Ask Kip Litton.

Ask Mo.

Ask Dr. Jeffrey Brown.

Ask Genzebe.

Ask Jama Aden.

Ask Dr. Saugy.

Ask Nick Davies.

Ask Dr. Frederico Rosa.

Ask Jos Hermens.

OK?

What fun!!!

When did LRC ever catch anyone of any consequence? Accusing everyone and catching anyone are not the same thing.

So Dibaba went Da Boom Boom?

epToE injury

Faked injury to get out of the olympics before the embarassment of being kicked out?

so she collapes in a race, but they have time to change her from spikes to trainers and put on a track suit?????? must have been real serious, this is a joke.

That would be my guess, too -- but at WADA's request to avoid negative publicity, which of course is their top priority.

Here's a bit more video of the race:

Nice to see Jama Aden on the track. Apparently IAAF sees no reason to put him on administrative leave pending the outcome of his legal proceedings.

absolute 100% fVcking joke. we've got a coach whose camp was caught with 4 different types of epo. I mean, it's right there- FOUR different types. pre-loaded syringes. I've been an athletics fan for 25 years, and I'm really close to done following int'l track and field. if someone like aden is not banned from the sport, then no one ever will be. it has all become a hustle.

Wait, why does this indicate anything about Genzebe Dibaba and EPO? I 100% understand that she was doping, but that's the point--she was doping. Like two weeks ago. How could she be clean now? Doesn't EPO help you for about 4 months? This might have more to do with the stress of her coach being caught and her own impending sanctions, not anything to do with how clean she's running now.

This is eerily similar to 2004 Athens Olympics and Paula Radcliffe.. everything was going perfect, WR holder, 4-6 minutes than the next fastest competitor, she spent training in Albuquerque and Andorra..

and then comes the Olympic Marathon and BOOM! totally bonks unexpectedly, leaving the running world in shock. She never bonked like that before or after. Just amazing.

And now Dibaba.. the track gods are using their powers and preventing Dibaba from ruining the party just like the run gods didn't want the biggest suspected and statistical doper in history, Paula Radcliffe, to win Olympic Gold.

didn't radcliffe blow up in every hot weather marathon? I think I remember that but I'm not sure. Remember that the olympic marathon is a freak - the marathon majors are in cool weather but olympc marathons are almost always very hot. Different animal.

my post was made in reference to dibaba and aden even being allowed to step onto a track. epo also creates a problem wityh blood flow if too much is taken. it can cause syncopal episodes (passing out). this can be a harbinger that a stroke or even a heart attack is impending. the more red blood cells (as a result of epo), the thicker the blood- it essentially turns into grape jelly. it happens to all the chronic users at some point and time. see farah's pass out post half marathon. the hotter it is, the more dehydrated someone becomes, and exacerbates the situation for an even thicker blood- see Kenny b at world xc champs drop out and pass out. the results of epo (raise in red blood cells so that more oxygen can be carried) typically lasts your stated 4 months (120 days).

maybe this is what happens when you run 3/5 of a 14:29 5k w/out drugs

Pretty much like what happened to Robert Young when he tried to run 60+ miles/day for real.

The first thing I thought of was this sounds similar to the story about Hicham El Guerrouj almost dying after a race because his blood was so thick it could barely get through his veins. Might have a similar case here.
