Wow. What a liars. This paragraph from Musaeb Balla could be in the top 10 all time doping excuses (with the likes of "I didnt hear the doorbell" by Mo, Dieter Baumann's toothpaste, the Whetstine massage conspiracy against Gatlin, The jewel of Dennis Mitchell "It was her birthday, the lady deserved a treat", etc)

"...En la habitación de Balla apareció una caja de Epotin 4000 IU (una marca de EPO) además de otros fármacos. Él declaró que pertenecían a otro atleta, pero estaban en una maleta con fotografías suyas. Balla señaló que pasaba controles antidopaje y que las jeringuillas las usaba para curar una lesión que estaba pasando. “El 2 de junio pasé un control antidopaje y estoy limpio. Ahora vendrán los análisis y seguiré limpio. La gente me apoya en Facebook y les digo que tranquilos, que esto no es nada. Soy Musaeb Balla..."

Yes. "dehydrated", "faulty equipment", "I was sick", "in the high 90s", "altitude" - all from Paula; "I ate meat" - Contador, Ajee, all Jamaicans, "I only doped once" - everybody else, is all quite lame compared to doorbell and toothpaste and treat for the lady.

For those of us who don't speak Spanish:

"In Balla's room appeared a box of Epotin 4000 IU (an EPO brand) in addition to other drugs. He stated that they belonged to another athlete, but they were in a suitcase with photographs of him. Balla said he was passing anti-doping controls and that the syringes used them to heal an injury that was happening. "On June 2 I passed a check anti-doping and I'm clean. Now the tests will come and I will keep clean. People support me on Facebook and I say calm, that this is nothing. I am Musaeb Balla ... "

And yet IAAF absconded with syringes "for testing in their labs" and found no trace of banned substances. When will people realize that they are complicit?

It would certainly make the sport less popular if the only people still eligible to compete were college freshmen.

What is the basis for saying this?

We don’t know what this means at this point as a year later, no athletes have been sanctioned from the raid despite EPO being reportedly found in a room.

Not Aden's room, so why try to make it sound that way????

That is terrible journalism.

You are part of the problem. If you are still defending this blight to the sport, then you are either: a) friends or family and/or b) a complete fool

No that was the syringes Aden put in bins outside the hotel

They found EPO in the hotel. It's not stored in syringes

Ha 😂 and anabolic steroids.😂

As someone who ran with Jama and Abdi back in 1987 this is very very sad. To be honest when Jama was working with Driouch and his 1k time as a 16 year old raised a few questions from me. Dibaba's performances are now forever tainted as are all the athletes that have worked with him.

What about Tyler Hamilton's 'vanishing twin' excuse? Or the female marathoner that claimed that she must have stood in a puddle during a race near a pharmaceutical company that just happened to make epo? LaShawn Merritt and the 'male enhancement product?' Or the Kostas Kenteris and Ekaterini Thanou mysterious evasion of testers during the 2004 Athens Olympics? Then there were the East Europeans during the 1980s that snuck in other people's urine to the testing facilities.

"the lady deserved a treat" still makes me laugh.

There is enough circumstantial evidence to ban everyone in the group yet the IAAF did absolutely nothing.

In comparison, just before the 1998 Tour de France on 8 July 1998, when the Festina team car was stopped on the France /Belgium border (several hundred miles away from the Festina cycling team at that point in time) and found to be carrying EPO, steroids etc, the Tour de France organizers at least kicked the Festina team out of the race one week later. No BS excuses were accepted.

The IAAF simply does not really care about PED use in track and field.

Right, the twin and the motorcycle accident, awesome. Or the German who intended to take vitamins but by coincidence grabbed MIL's EPO (syringes, lolo) out of the shared fridge. USADA would have been ok with the latter (unintended consumption, remember), but the Germans didn't fall for it.

The sad part is that various NADOs, IOC, IAAF and WADA more often than not "believed" those stories.

What's the twin excuse?
