So much for your accusations of a "sophisticated" doping ring/culture/whatever when athletes are doping with stuff used 115 years ago.
Just because Kirwa’s test found that he was on strychnine doesn’t mean that he wasn’t on other stuff. In addition to acting as a stimulant, strychnine is also a blood thinner, as M!ndweak said, which can help to counter the negative side effects of EPO (that the blood becomes thicker, leading to an increased risk of blood clots/stroke).
Fair enough, but still, do you think dopers in the richer countries are using strychnine? Definitely not. Too risky (in terms of health and of being caught).
Coevett talks about a sophisticated doping ring or something like that and that's totally BS in a country as poor (in most places) and corruption ridden as Kenya.
But he is a racist so what would one expect?
Dibaba's a doper. Muir chases Dibaba to the line and she is a clean hero. He should make up his mind.
