So, how do you catch someone who refuses to be tested?
Hasn't he been tested a lot, being American? I mean, I know testing isn't going to catch all the groups who make sure to be tested privately before a race. And then you have weird off performances from people like Kiprop and Genzebe Dibaba that don't match their previous ones. But I don't remember Lagat being like that. He's fairly consistent and has had an incredibly long career. A doper would dope and bow out after a few extraordinary performances.
Even with NOP, that seems grey-ish. I think Salazar was banned for mostly using his athletes like guinea pics, subjecting them to long-term health threats from things like starting them on thyroid meds which they may have to use forever and testimonies of bullying and not being upfront with what he was giving them for supplements. OK, I don't know. Who knows what's in Rupp's blood. But I felt sorry for him looking so tired at the start line.
