FIVE More Kenyan Runners Suspended

Ferdinand Omanyala Omurva (02.01.1996) regains eligibility in a month and a half.

He is a 100m sprinter with a PB of 10.28 (winded aided) and 10.39 (legal), both at moderate altitude.

WTF, some of these people have already been banned for over a year?! Lovin’ the transparency.

Interesting to hear that “Anti-Doping of Kenya (ADAK) CEO Jasper Rugut said today that more athletes will be added on this list anytime from now.”[/quote]

Would be interesting with some more detail around Rotich. Where can you find the details of the appeal etc around this one?

EPO Cheats OUT!

I almost choked on the water I was drinking when I read this. 10/10.

Nicholas Kiplagat (22.10.1992), anybody know who his coach is? Maybe my google-fu is weak today, but I can find his IAAF profile and every other link to to news of his bust. The IAAF has the spelling differently as Nicholas Kiplangat Kipkoech, but it is the same birth date.

Peter Kiptoo appears to have 2 marathon results a 2:13 and a 2:11. Can't find anything else about him. Also interested in who coaches him.

Micah Samoei, can't find a coach for him either. He appears to be about the level of the athletes included in the Scots/Kenyan EPO study...

You mean like cutting heads off the Hydra. A sea monster, the Hydra had a lot of heads--probably because whenever a head was cut off, two would grow in its place. Hercules and his nephew Iolaus killed it by working as a team: Hercules would cut off a head, and Iolaus would cautererize the stump with a torch.

Medusa's snake-hairs didn't grow back, except presumably at the regular snake-hair speed after snake-haircuts.

We need to get Iolaus to follow KIA around with his torch and burn the stumps--which appear to be largely Italian rather than Greek.

Don't worry - no one would ever accuse Coevett of being smart.

Peter Kiptoo not listed on this list:

Not good enough....

Ha ha, yes, I just quoted that on the Canova thread 1 - 2 days ago, when mindweak didn't get a response as to his opinion on Rosa...

As for 5 more Kenyans caught doping: nice.

But wait, didn't ElK predict several weeks ago that the catching rate will slow down because the bad apples are already caught?

He he.

In other news, we just let - again - one of our world champs get away with steroid doping, I mean, beef eating. See parallel running thread.

Ha ha.

Mindweak only knows what he's read on the internet. He's never been to, nor will he ever go to Kenya. He's never met, let alone spent time with Coach Canova, yet he threatens to kill him with a gun. He's a bad apple, and the classic keyboard warrior.

Yup. Same dude whose favorite runner is Bekele: "I don't care whether he was doped or not". Total hypocrite.

That is a really helpful resource, thank you for that link.

Nicholas Kiplangat Kipkoech is represented by Gianni Demodanna

See page 26 of this report. ‘Injections’ to an athlete managed by........ our friend Gianni:

How the heck is he still allowed to be a manager?

(Yes, these guys weren’t eventually ‘convicted’ but as the report says, the facts around this incident were not disputed)

I need to find time to read that report in its entirety, but from skimming that tells quite the tale of corruption in Kenyan antidoping.

Hard to have much confidence in the fight against doping...

i never threatened to kill anyone with a gun, but go ahead and make up accusations, i have already talked to wejo about this and this is one thing i will not tolerate.

you have never been to kenya, nor have you met or talked to renato, so how are you so high and mighty?

and unlike you i did admit who i was, cause trolls like you acting so tough, you guys get real mouthy considering your 115 lbs nerds who never broke 15 in the 5k and still live in your moms basement. nice man real nice. classic how this is a thread about MORE kenyans getting busted and somehow im tossed in with your bullsh*t accusation once again.

i told who i was, how about you tell us who you are, then lets meet up and see if you are tough and mouthy then, my guess is you wont, or should i say "i bett you wont"

Nicholas Kipkoech Kiplangat has competed frequently in 2018 and is an army athlete, not prisons. It's not the same person.

I am not sure that I found each of the right athletes here, but most look like small fry. Michael Rotich refers to the 1:44 man who is 40 and ran that in 2004? The guy in the article who impersonated Ferguson maybe at Rio?

Samoei is a 2:14 marathoner. Nicholas Kiplagat I cannot find (Nicholas Kiplangat Kipkoech ran 1:43 in 2016 and 2:16 in July). Omanyala is a sprinter who listed pr's of 10.24/20.64 on his twitter feed earlier in the year. Peter Kiptoo ran 2:11 in 2017 at Casablanca. But if this is coming from internal Kenyan testing, it is more signs of a change, although if they are only catching or exposing small fry that is inadequate, and it does indicate the massive prevalence of cheating in Kenyan athletics, also indicating that it must have been massive for decades without being exposed, since the early '90s. What enterprising reporter will establish exactly what role foreign agents initially played and still play in this? (thinking of Hermens and the Rosas especially).

It's possible that I am wrong. They appear to have the exact same birthdate which is quite a coincidence. There is a Nicholas Kiplagat with a 6 July 1995 birthdate, so it could be him, but that would mean the articles gave the wrong birthdate.

I could also be reading the other line wrong, but it appears they are giving names of competitions the athlete ran in, not the club affiliation.

Testing catches only a fraction of the estimated dopers. The ratio is thought to be about 1:40. So for 5 Kenyan dopers suspended there will likely be 200 who don't get caught. And that sure as hell isn't all of them. As pest control says - "for every 'roach you see there will be 50 behind the wall".

ADAK CEO Rugut is a stand up guy who’s also extremely competent. He is the right person to see this through. By the time he’s done the Kenyan model will be an example for other countries in Africa and beyond. Some interesting insights in this recent Q&A.

https://www.nation.co.ke/sports/athletics/Japhter-Rugut-responds-to-your-queries/1100-4772750-hsq073z/index.html

No Michael Koskei Rotich refers to the coach (despite the fact that there is another athlete of exactly the same name, plus an athlete just called Michael Rotich)

This is pretty big stuff for this to be confirmed, surprised this isn't blowing up bigger?

Hope your confidence is well placed.
