So, when & where did Bett actually test positive? Was it from the 2017 WCs and they're just now getting around to announcing it? Or did they retest the samples and that's where the positive is from? It's a sure bett that the info we're getting is somewhat ambiguous.
"Yes, I have received a notification from AIU but I wonder how I could have tested for EPO when I had taken a break from competition to treat an injury after the Stockholm leg of the Diamond League in June," said Bett, the 2016 World Under-20 800m champion. "I had just filed my defence after I was accused of declining to give out my samples for testing."

Thanks for that.
Interesting, they report an EPO positive pursuant to a July 31 (2018) OOC test, but another report states that Bett will lose the WC medal from last year once the "B" sample is confirmed. There's no way a July 31st positive would retro back almost a year to the London WCs. So, this sounds all screwed up and either they retested his samples from the WCs which came up glowing, or WADA looked at his passport data from the WCs and saw enough evidence for doping allowing the stripping of the medal.
