4 seconds faster than any know doper.
Actually, not quite. It's 1/10 of what you said: 0.39 seconds. And that in Monaco, 22 years later.
Still obviously dirty...
What? Is this true? Published report: Genzebe Dibaba is no longer coached by Jama Aden

Why was Kejelcha faster at 18? Because he wasn't being tested.
Didn’t he just win world indoors? Ain’t doing too bad
Because he was age cheating, older athletes might have an off year or two after a really good year most likely due to injuries, money, or pressure.

I saw the world xc in Gateshead in 83, both the senior and junior mens races were won by Ethiopians. Beating Lopes, Deeks and that guy in tights in the process.

Does every post have to morph into a Salazar / Rupp slam?

The Ethiopian Athletic Federation have told The Independent that Dibaba is no longer coached by the disgraced Jama Aden. Hussein Shibo and Tolera Dinka have been responsible for her training programme “since September 2017”. Dibaba has never failed a drugs test and there is no suggestion of wrong-doing.
The quote comes from an article published 3 weeks ago but I don't think anyone noticed it. Did anyone talk about this when it was published? I certainly don't remember anyone talking about it.
Since the UK media can be sued, does anyone think the use of the word "disgraced" is incorrect for Jama Aden? How in the hell is he disgraced? He's never been charged with a doping offense. If I was describing Alberto Salazar, I wouldn't call him disgraced. I think controversial would be a much better word.
The article really isn't actually focused on Aden. It's focused on Kejelcha saying the govt handing out land bonuses to winners really helps them.

I can confirm this is true...... I am dating Genzebe, she goes by "G"....... We have been dating for almost 3 years now.

Her coach had a great deal of EPO and other drugs at the hotel where they were staying. Why the Spanish never did any convicting is a good question.

In answer to your question, one response is to look at the Corruption Perception index, in which most European countries are in the top 40, many in the top 20, which is to say, the least corrupt countries (Spain is 35th), whereas Ethiopia is 94th out of 180 countries, and Jama Aden's country of Somalia is 180th out of 180. Most of the run of the Dibaba sisters took place with the leader of the IAAF, Lamine Diack, and his son literally extorting bribes from athletes to suppress their positive tests.00

I bet they couldn't prove it was his and meant for his athletes beyond "reasonable doubt" or whatever the Spanish equivalent is.

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/athletics/ethiopia-athletics-success-yomif-kejelcha-genzebe-dibaba-land-bonuses-not-drugs-a8245936.htmlSo randomly a rabbithole on google about the recent Dubai marathon winner’s coach also supposedly being “Tolera Dinka”…
i just want to know why Jama Aden’s son Ayman was referring to himself as her coach up until last year. On several occasions Aden’s son was coaching Dibaba on the Sululta track (and also the Bahrain team which I assume is still his job)
He even traveled with Genzebe to the London marathon but then was denied accreditation. There was an incredibly awkward situation where coaches and athletes were getting onto the bus and Aymen Aden tried to sneak on but was pulled out
As far as I know Genzebe and also one of the top female 800 runners (who didnt perform amazing last year) left to find a new coach after the season. Why were they claiming that was her coach? Or if Tolera Dinka is her coach, whats the association with Jama Aden?
his athlete Tsigie Gebreselama just beat the olympic champ… definitely need him and his athletes on a watchlist
