Brojos, are you guys doing post race interviews?

How many times was Ayana OOC tested this year (and without prior warning as the Kenyans get)?
Why would that matter? Russians actually got tested quite frequently, nuch more than most of the rest of the world.
The EPOpians get the same prior warning before 'spot tests'. And truth be told, the EPOpians and Kenyans are rarely, if ever, tested out of season, and tested far less often than Rupp or Centrowitz for example. One year Rupp was tested something like 26 times while some of the name E. Africans were tested twice. Bizarre.
It's PC to go after the Russians, and the Russian situation has more to do with certain lobbies that run the US and other Western nations having problems with Putin not kissing their tails than it does with rampant doping. If officials were concerned with rampant doping Cuba, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, The Dominican Republic and other countries would have been banned years ago. -

She's obviously a person of faith. I don't believe she would declare he faith so publicly and then be doping on the side.
I for one was in awe by her dominant performance.
The way she looked unstressed and untaxed during the race was amazing. Just out for a friggin jog!
Second place lady looked a bit more stressed.
Im not accusing, I'll assume she is clean.
Just observing. -

Another great quote:

Nobody cares about an Ethiopian distance runner. If you think what the world is waiting for is (yet another) a really good Eastern African runner you are clueless.
I didn't say that. I said that they need amazing, dominant performances. This was an amazing, dominant performance. It's true, charisma and English-speaking ability are also necessary to turn an athlete into a real star, but the performances have to be there. An athlete winning by a few tenths or hundredths of a second is NOT going to rope in new fans for T&F, because people outside the sport have no perspective with which to compare small margins of victory.
I also challenge the assertion that "Nobody cares about an Ethiopian distance runner." Tell that to Haile. Tell Haile that to his face. I dare you. -

USADA has targeted NOP so it's not strange. USADA shows Jenny Simpson as having been tested four times this year, less than half as much as Justin Gatlin. That says nothing about Simpson.

Tell me why it's so wise to go after Russians when once of the IAAF's major sponsors (until this Russian doping scandal got blown open) was a Russian bank. Russians were in the IAAF taking money from Shubokhova to keep her racing against the Kenyans and Ethiopians. Money for track is going away in Europe and you say that the powers that be (who want money) want to see Europe fail and reduce the sport's footprint there.
Why did John Whetton go to rural Kenya to test John Ngugi and then report Ngugi's refusal to submit to the test if Kenya is under protection? Why all this mess with Mathew Kisorio and Rita Jeptoo, failing tests conducted in Kenya? -

She believes in a supernatural being that creates universes and knows her innermost thoughts...Theres no way she doped...
Same thing with Ryan Braun
If you heard his speech in Arizona, you'd realize that he couldn't dope.
I hope the doubters are turned into pillars of salt by the supernatural being!!! -
To add to JW's post below, that simply says that JS doesn't start racing until later in the year (didn't she open up at Drake???) and thus has only 1 or 2 in-comp tests, if any, and thus has 2-4 OOC tests, which is actually right about what you would expect for a medalist/potential medalist in an oly year.
by contrast, Rupp was racing a fair bit this year (first half), and thus his testing figures are inflated, compared to simpsons, as USADA figures include both OOC and in-comp testing, and do not differentiate for the public viewing.
Not arguing that one athlete is cleaner than the other, simply pointing out statistical facts that must be considered when looking at testing numbers, which many seem to ignore or bypass.

Whatever she does, she knows Jesus will forgive her.

It will be glorious when her medal is stripped. Unfortunately it won't happen until 2021 or so.

So she is saying, thank goodness europeans conquered and oppressed us , otherwise I wouldn't have Jesus and would be left only to training? Gold medal and WR for Jesus!

Ethiopia (along with Armenia) became Christian around the 1st Century AD. And Ethiopia was never colonized. A common geography question is, "At the start of the First World War, what independent nations existed in Africa?" Ethiopia and Liberia.
There were Christian Churches in Ethiopia before there were any in Rome, Paris or London. Do you feel silly? -
lol typical, everything is about race. So now pointing out that someone who just happens to be black is probably doping is racist? Damn, there is no pleasing you people.

It's not all doping. There is a reason why such a high percentage of men that have broken 13:00 come from the East African Rift Valley. The main reason we haven't seen more women do the same is due to the underlying culture and the status of women in these countries. The main reasons American women tend to dominate the Olympics are due to title 9 and the status of women in this country.

I don't feel silly as compared to if I believed in Jesus. Even if I did believe in Jesus, why in the hell would I think he helped me train for and run fast 10K's while the people of my continent starved and were abused by Jesus lovers?

The Balco drug was "The Clear (THG)"; WADA needs to get on it and isolate this new "Crystal Clear" to bust all these cheaters.
