British gold medalist & ‘sports icon’ implicated in blood doping

It has to be Farah. The only “British gold medalists and ‘sports icons’” are Radcliffe and Farah. And, Radcliffe wasn’t competing in London 2012.

"An indictment by French prosecutors against Lamine Diack, former President of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and his son, Papa Massata Diack, has alleged that British athletes, including a Gold medalist and ‘sports icon’, were involved in blood doping at the London 2012 Olympics. Journalists said the document reveals that Valentin Balakhnichev, former Treasurer of the Russian Athletics Federation (RusAF) and Vice President of the IAAF, spoke internally about abnormal blood values of several athletes at the London 2012 Olympics, including a British Gold Medalist, according to an email."

London, 2012 Olympics is a red herring. It's Coe, 1984. They got him. A document trail has been revealed most likely.

Of course they are dirty. All of UK's endurance superstars have been (Paula, Froome, Mo).

My votes would be Paula, Froome...who knows.

Listen to the documentary and it says London Olympian, Gold Medalist, British, Icon.

London gold medalists were Farah, Ennis, and Rutherford.

Farah is the icon out of those three. Ennis comes close, but it's blood passport which likely means EPO, which means Farah is the one.

It's not that hard.

+1

I hope the French press grabs ahold of this and doesn't let go. Eventually, Farah isn't going to be able to squirm out of these things.

PS- I hope he invested wisely. Milking credit cards on failed spas only gets you so far.

Not even a little surprised.

Well if he doesn't get caught up in this scandal, will he move up to gold? And Bekele will move up to bronze or silver(if Rupp gets brought down with mo). Has two brothers ever went 1 and 2 at the Olympics?

Great question.

I hope this is real and Mo gets caught, but both the article and the short anonymous comments on this thread all have the feel of Putin trolls. Casual Observski and his team have been busy today.

And what is the difference between this and the ABP suspicious blood values the Fancy Bears exposed? Don't we already know that Mo (and quite a few others) had suspicious values?

Please could someone explain how the LRC Farah hatred works please:-

On this thread I read that he is a dirty drugs cheat who only won because he was doped to his eyeballs.

Yet on another I read he doesn't even qualify as a top 10 all time great because he was too slow, never troubled any world records.

So what is the overall story? Are we saying he was an absolutely useless drugs cheat?

Think they are saying he is not America and therefore can’t be great. Therefore because he has had some success he must be a drug cheat. Just xenophobia and racism mixed together.

Wiggins? He won the time trial gold, didn't he?

I think you forgot that there is a much more smoking gun around Farah...

Indeed, much more. And my point was that this doesn't seem to be telling us much more than we already knew.

^This - and these are just the boldest of the most extreme blood dopers, literally the tip of the iceberg, as the numbers show:

only one Brit, one Dutch, one German, one Moroccan (!), one Norwegian, ...., four Americans, ..., and nine Kenyans are on that list, while we know that worldwide more than 44% are drug cheats.

Another little fact: Kiprop was judged only as "Passport suspicious", less suspicious as the likely dopers Rupp, H. Ingebrigtsen, Farah, Jager, and yes, ironically one of Canova's examples of currently alleged clean runners and EPO-doesn't-work examples: repeat offender Kisorio.

And last but not least, this is not "just" based on a computer analyzing data, that is the "Hematological Expert report opinion".

What does "likely doping" mean? Well a lot more than some people pretend:

"Likely doping: Considering the information within the Athlete’s Passport, it is likely that the Passport is the result the Use of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method and it is highly unlikely that it may be the result of a normal physiological or pathological condition."

So, "highly unlikely" that that person was not doping.

Weird - you admit that the ABP is far from perfect then offer it as proof that individuals flagged on it are doping.
