Half Marathon WR holder Abraham Kiptum busted by Bio Passport!!!!!!!!

Yawn, Zzzzzzzzz. This is supposed to be a surprise? Most of these guys are doped, it is the same as the Tour de France, you can compete at the World level in running against athletes at your level who are on PEDs, impossible.

Paula got lucky, along with hundreds of other users, that the IAAF didn't punish ABP violations before 2009.

Don't doubt it, but you can't start crying about how the poor clean athlete has been screwed by the ABP and then also wail about Paula not being busted.

Glad this cheater got caught.

the evidence against Paula is her bio passport data.

Not defending her, but your previous post was a tearful rant defending a cheat busted because of his bio passport data.

That you have to lie to make your claims shows how false they are.

Congrats to Tadesse on getting his WR back?

Yeah! Because Tadesse is clean.

/sarc

I'm happy for Zersenay Tadese. Always liked him and always hoped he would do better than he has in the full.

What claims?

EPO's hell of a drug.

If you don't see it, you don't want to see it.

Whatever happened to that woman who smashed the 10,000m WE in the Rio heat in 2016?

Me thinks there are still more busts to be made....

C-level sycophant apparently

Goodbye El Keniano. Goodbye Kiptum. Goodbye surge in long-distance road performances as threat of BP bans increases.

I do have crow to eat myself, saying several years ago that the Biopassport poorly implemented and was not going to catch the biggest cheaters. While that is certainly not going to catch everyone, the capability to catch anyone is being demonstrated.

Paula had 3 abnormal blood results, but her buddy Seb Coe helped her out. She played the game and won. Women who are on drugs can’t get within minutes of her WR.

When Radcliffe starting breaking records the British did the same thing, got runners from other countries banned for doping with ZERO valid evidence in order to obscure her misdeeds. Later it came out that none of those women had been doping. Now they're doing the same thing to try and divert the attention from Mo Farah. I'm absolutely convinced that Farah is the reason Kiptum was banned.

She’s smart and won’t get caught. Even if it means missing a whole season with phantom injuries. She will not stand at the start line unless she’s sure she won’t fail a test.

You overlooked the fact that they can ban people for no reason at all, and then blame it on manipulation of the biological passport. You can't say that Radcliffe didn't dope, and that others did, when her values were much farther out of line, not only on the biological passport but also other routine testing results, none of which were ever released to the public. All of the drug testing is a total sham and always has been.

Please give me three such examples.

Which runners were banned and later on were found to have done nothing wrong?

At least y'all leaving my Mo alone now, he's been relegated to page two.

Thanks Aby.

I'm glad to see Tadesse hold onto his WR. That is good news. I can't wait to see the exchanges between El Keniano and Coevette over this. Not including Bekele, Tadesse is my favorite runner. Was sad to see Bekele in W XC in 2007 but if anyone else deserved the win it was Tadesse. He is underrated. His half marathon WR is underrated.

Who is next ,the goat from NN team? (We call nn team = new needle team :-)
