You know testing is weak when Urine tests are their main weapon.

Might be relevant, might not, but I counted 376 "4+" entries in that IAAF pdf vs the 363 on the Standard article. I'm minded to think that it is likely just the Standard getting it wrong when totting up the number of 4+ entries , given that the document has the same title.

Actually its even more embarrassing for those like RekRunner who pretend that Kenya is just like Western nations (except poorer).
The Standard is the leading paper in Kenya, and a 12 year old could write better journalism than that.
'Racist' LetsRunner on reading the Kenyan Standard link : 'Wow, it's reported in the leading Kenyan newspaper that 363 athletes have been caught likely doping. This could be the end of athletics'.
Rekrunner when reading the Kenyan Standard link ; 'LOL, Kenya is third world shinhole where the people are backward savages. Boy can they run though. But this African 'newspaper' isn't worth wiping my posterior with. A quick Google check will prove that the native idiot who wrote it hasn't got a clue. Then I can tell the racists on here that they've got it wrong about Kenyans, and I'll feel smug. EPO doesn't work anyway.'
All this post accomplished was adding you to the foolish.
Nowhere in the article does it say that the IAAF is going to publish or otherwise release their test results/findings that were reviewed by the author.
And we shouldn't be surprised by the reluctance to do so on the IAAF's part.
If you had read this thread first, you would already know the IAAF already published it years ago. It was the linked article that was misleading because the "secret dossier" was no such thing, and simply showed "tests/athlete" with no indication of test results or levels of suspicion. The "Standard" article was updated today, deleting the reference to the IAAF document, and including this response from the IAAF:
The Standard newspaper reported Monday up to 363 athletes, 53 of whom are Kenya returned adverse results. However, IAAF's Communications manager Yannis Nikolaou said the reports are "completely wrong."
"The information about the missing tests and the secret dossier is completely wrong... The numbers are corresponding to the doping controls that any athlete did and everything is available in the public domain at the IAAF.org," Nikolaou said.

What a completely bizarre update to the story on the Standard website. Despite it being pointed out to them that the numbers refer to testing frequency, some of the text still continues as if it was an indication of likely doping!
you're all being trolled by russian trolls. way to fall for it.

We won't ever see that list. This sport is a joke. Almost as bad as cycling.
Almost??? Nah, identical.

Enjoy the frustration that comes courtesy of reading The Standard. Unfortunately for us Kenyans, despite all that, it still isn’t Kenya’s most notorious rag.
