It's not the athlete in particular, it's the fact that he's someone I've never heard of from Turkey.
From above comments, it seems like he's a young rising talent, so it's probably my fault that I haven't heard of him. Fair enough.
But Turkey has sent enough dirty athletes to championships for that to be a red flag on its own. For now I guess he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

He was a world youth champs silver medalist in 2007. European Junior champion in 2009.

He raced for Azerbaijan then. His dad/coach passed away. He moved to Turkey. People know about him.

Have you seen his hairline ? That should give you a clue about his youth...

There are a lot of dirtiness in Turkey, but no nation is dirtier than USA / Jamaica in sprint and of course East Africans, but obviously when everybody is afraid of WADA then REAL athletes can win.

WADA cracking down on the NOPers has had an impact. Too bad Mo is immune.

Logically he isn't doping then

when did he move to turkey? if it was 2014/15, i think we know what is going on here.

His father AND who happened to be his trainer died in 2010. Guliyev was obviously devastated. There was a struggle to for him to transfer to Turkey (delay by IAAF) since 2011, where he was training. You sad, sad person.

Ayana cannot mess with obiri's strength or flat 400m speed. Ayana will have to go out fast and try to use her 10000m tactic. But it is going to be just like rio
