Not sure how they passed. Either Aden knew it was coming and timed the dosages to avoid testing positive, or a cover-up occurred. Apparently, Aden possessing drugs isn't enough to ban his athletes. Surely a coach with drugs in his possession wasn't giving them to his athletes.
Unfortunately there are a number of athletes doping who routinely pass tests. Any athlete using the most recent doping techniques/strategies/procedures will beat the tests.
This article is not surprising. I would actually be more surprised if one of his athletes tested positive.
Good news
Disgusting.
Any good way for the ladies to protest the mustachioed Didoper? Walk off the track? Give her a good slap? She most certainly belongs in prison, not in Rio.
But DT said they're dirty?????? DT has insider info none of us has.
DT knows the dope. That's why he bailed to Peru where drug testing doesn't exist.

why would you post twice so quickly under two different names?
There are multiple ways to violate doping rules, including testing positive and being in possession of a PED even without testing positive.In this case the athletes didn't test positive, which may say more about the inadequacy of the tests than whether the athletes are clean. So the next question is whether the athletes were in possession of PEDs. Judging from the story, the Spanish think they can show that Aden was in possession of PEDs, despite his denials.Presumably, Aden is subject to sanctions as support personnel, and it will become a sanctionable offense for athletes to be coached by him.IDK what Ethiopia's actual rules are like, but if you look at the WADA Model rules, "possession" is tough to prove - probably too tough:https://www.wada-ama.org/en/resources/world-anti-doping-program/2015-model-rules-for-national-anti-doping-organizations
2.6 Possession of a Prohibited Substance or a Prohibited Method
2.6.1 Possession by an Athlete In-Competition of any Prohibited Substance or any Prohibited Method, or Possession by an Athlete Out-of-Competition of any Prohibited Substance or any Prohibited Method which is prohibited Out-of-Competition unless the Athlete establishes that the Possession is consistent with a Therapeutic Use Exemption (“TUEâ€) granted in accordance with Article 4.4 or other acceptable justification.
2.6.2 Possession by an Athlete Support Person In-Competition of any Prohibited Substance or any Prohibited Method, or Possession by an Athlete Support Person Out-of-Competition of any Prohibited Substance or any Prohibited Method which is prohibited Out-of-Competition in connection with an Athlete, Competition or training, unless the Athlete Support Person establishes that the Possession is consistent with a TUE granted to an Athlete in accordance with Article 4.4 or other acceptable justification.
[Comment to Articles 2.6.1 and 2.6.2: Acceptable justification would not include, for example, buying or Possessing a Prohibited Substance for purposes of giving it to a friend or relative, except under justifiable medical circumstances where that Person had a physician’s prescription, e.g., buying Insulin for a diabetic child.]
[Comment to Article 2.6.2: Acceptable justification would include, for example, a team doctor carrying Prohibited Substances for dealing with acute and emergency situations.]
...
Possession: The actual, physical Possession, or the constructive Possession (which shall be found only if the Person has exclusive control or intends to exercise control over the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method or the premises in which a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method exists); provided, however, that if the Person does not have exclusive control over the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method or the premises in which a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method exists, constructive Possession shall only be found if the Person knew about the presence of the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method and intended to exercise control over it. Provided, however, there shall be no anti-doping rule violation based solely on Possession if, prior to receiving notification of any kind that the Person has committed an anti-doping rule violation, the Person has taken concrete action demonstrating that the Person never intended to have Possession and has renounced Possession by explicitly declaring it to an Anti-Doping Organization. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this definition, the purchase (including by any electronic or other means) of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method constitutes Possession by the Person who makes the purchase.
[Comment: Under this definition, steroids found in an Athlete's car would constitute a violation unless the Athlete establishes that someone else used the car; in that event, the Anti-Doping Organization must establish that, even though the Athlete did not have exclusive control over the car, the Athlete knew about the steroids and intended to have control over the steroids. Similarly, in the example of steroids found in a home medicine cabinet under the joint control of an Athlete and spouse, the Anti-Doping Organization must establish that the Athlete knew the steroids were in the cabinet and that the Athlete intended to exercise control over the steroids. The act of purchasing a Prohibited Substance alone constitutes Possession, even where, for example, the product does not arrive, is received by someone else, or is sent to a third party address.]
Assuming Aden had possession of PEDs, being coached by someone in possession of PEDs in the same hotel doesn't look like it's enough under the WADA code to be a violation. It should be.
Also, under this same rule, it apparently would not be a violation for Galen to share a room with Alberto and his Androgel, which also ought to be a violation.
I guess Nike's check cleared.
The sport is a farce.

There is a big time difference at the Olympics. Apart from London I'd usually stay up all night to watch the Olympics I won't bother this time

No it's not. If you don't like it, don't watch. But spare us the "the sport has no integrity" nonsense.

For them. Once again officials will allow their chosen third world pets to "make a statement". lol

When the probable women's 1500 gold medalist is allowed to run after her coach is caught with EPO at the same hotel she is staying at, that's pretty farcical. And very unfair to clean athletes.
It looks like the women's 1500 will be no cleaner than in 2012.
And that is tough to top!

i want to watch some runners in the 1500 but it will be tough. I really wish I could be more excited about the Olympics.
THEY FOUND EPO IN HIS HOTEL ROOM. SOMEBODY WAS TAKING IT AND YET NOBODY TESTS POSITIVE. EVERYBODY ACTS LIKE SINCE THEY ALL TESTED NEGATIVE THEN THERE NOTHING BAD WAS HAPPENING
THEY FOUND EPO
IN
HIS
ROOM
WHO WAS TAKING IT?!?!?!
this sport is so stupid sometimes.
I should add that I think I will watch just for the disbelief and curiosity. If the announcers are terrible they may not know about the doping issue . If they do know, it will be one of the more awkward moments to announce. This is even more awkward than Gatlin winning, Here the coach had EPO on site weeks before the event! And, if I read this report right, he claims not to know the guy in the other room, which he happened to pay for? I need to keep a list of all athletes coached by Aden or on site when this happened. The Dibabas, Souleima , Jeilan ... Imagine if this were Glenn Mills.

The woman's 1500m gold medalist will be totally clean. She just won't be totally a woman.

The British commentators will know about it, but will gloss over it. They will make some glib comments about state-sponsored Russian doping, and how it harms all clean runners including the clean Russian runners and how a great Olympics can bring some joy back into the sport after a difficult summer, etc.
