Denies EPO belonged to him or his athletes and also Dibaba goes 3:59 1500m and Soulieman 1:44.06 800m few days ago

Of course this was obvious all along, but good for him speaking up.

Aden: “The problem we are facing in the world now, as we are a very good training group, everybody points fingers and says ‘Oh they are cheating,’” he says. “The people who did not succeed are killing the others because everybody is not the same. Some people can run good, some people cannot. Some like to bad mouth others. The media are going crazy now. This is the problem with athletics now.”

Aden expects the whole thing to blow over and that his passport will be returned shortly. If that is the case, he hints he might be in a position to seek compensation for his and his athletes’ defamed reputations. It may not be that simple though. There is a lot at stake for the IAAF and for the Spanish authorities and they will likely not leave any stone unturned [ to try and cover their mistakes ]

last Friday night, Dibaba who has been nursing a problem in her big toe and was advised not to wear spikes, won a low key 1,500m in Barcelona. She ran 3:59.83 beating Ethiopian compatriot Axumawit Embay by four seconds. Souleiman, who joined Aden’s group in 2012 having already run 3:34.32 for 1,500m, won the 800m in 1:44.06 at the same meet.

What a bunch of losers.

If Dibaba has the balls to show up in Rio I hope she's shunned by all her competitors in the same way Semenya is.

I hope the idiots harassing them either wise up and stop, or else get what's coming to them.

Still doesn't explain the Hamza Driouch situation and Cook getting threats...

If you ain't doing nothing wrong why resort to threats of violence and intimidation?!

What is he moaning about? 100% doped.

Pretty much every doper denies denies denies, even in the face of overwhelming evidence. The only time they might reluctantly admit anything is toward the very end of the process when they're trying to negotiate a shorter ban. The only question here is will they get the samples they took from his athletes analyzed in time to keep them out of Rio if they come back positive.

Especially if they've been under investigation for 3 years. Must be something there.

Interviewed by a friend. That's all you need to read.

do people here expect him to admit his guilt???

So the problem is not doping and all the EPO the police found at the hotel but people talking about doping!

The Epopians are about to go down along with scum like him & Rosa.

That speaks well of him.

I'm a big fan of Jama Aden and his group.

No, the problem is idiots like you who are making up lies and slandering innocent people.

His story is compeletly unbeleievable. It speaks volumes that the Dibaba family will not disassociate from him. Too bad for Ethiopia athletics. I had hoped that the Dibabas were not doped like Elvan Abeylegesse. It's hard to know what to think now.

Its hard to conclude anything until more information is given. Theres no reason to hang out in spain, its doping central, because of the laws.

His career in athletics is over. He won't be able to travel to the Olympics. This won't be over before then. His athletes will severely under perform at the Olympics or not even compete. He will keep denying everything. However, a three year investigation, EPO recovered from his hotel, needle disposal, and athlete testimony (it will come) is enough evidence to convict him. He will be banned from IAAF events, Diamond League events, and major championships. His athletes will eventually turn on him to save their own careers. It's going to be messy. Drug cheats need eliminating from the sport. This is a step in the right direction for our sport. I hope this arrest and eventual concision will deter other cheats.

Ha, what a serial liar. Wait that wasn't my room. You got me on tape, wait those syringes were for my chronic fatigue syndrome. You know pertassium and cacium, its hard work watching these guys run. I have to move my head this way and that way, I'm getting tired just thinking about it.
