She had a steady development over the last 10 years and there is zero evidence she is doping. She just ran a German national record a few weeks ago and a WR in the 2000m steeple.
But there is mountain evidence that she has made it into the highest level of running once letsrun accuses her of doping. lol
I agree. Her progression was steady, as a result of her training which has always been long-term oriented. She's had the same coach since 2008 I believe. Thanks to good marketing she is also able to be a true professional, which most other German athletes are not. For example, she is able to do several altitude training camps throughout the year.
In recent years she also didn't train in Kenya. She is mostly in Switzerland these days. Shortly before worlds she was in South Africa.
