Did world record holder Brigid Kosgei miss three tests?

What a ridiculous scenario. Drug cheat Farah is a nobody and can never reach Goat status yet he beats Kipchoge on the track Kipchoge doesn't even make the team or final. El G the WR holder who is a clear drug cheat and has been beat by Kipchoge. Kipchoge is clean because he is Kenyan. El K is a moron.

Well obviously, but he will reply that "you're racist" in the grandest of ad hominem replies.

Or maybe they just know the rules better than you. Perhaps you should understand them before you post nonsense.

Hey you leave my mate alone.

Try to spread your 29 missed tests over 10 years ...

Clearly, you have trouble with maths.

Bump

Any follow up on this, Gault? Did she actually miss 3 tests? If so, over what period of time?

Why doesn’t WADA publish this (missed tests) so it’s transparent and less likely to come as a surprise to anyone.

Thanks Subway!

I thought it was the rampant pedophilia and general sexism?

Now I had no opinion before this article as to whether Kosgei was doping or not. I’d assume she isn’t until proven otherwise.

Missing three tests is suspicious. She is a young athlete and only been professional since 2016.

Also, if an athlete has been tested 14 times this year already that is targeted testing. Something a friend of mine who works in UKADA told me they employ when an athlete records a suspect but not illegal test.

If even exrunner thinks Kosgei is dirty then you know for sure she must be dirtier than a Calcutta sewer.

The thing you repeatedly fail to understand is that I am completely objective.

I don’t care who the athlete is. I work on suspicion being founded on an individual level.

You work on the fact that all East Africans are dirty. I work on facts which are slightly more specific.

Kosgei unfortunately is soon going to be another big handful of nails in the coffin of track and field.

214 is a no go.

no.

It's the shoes. If people with no legs can run a 400 in 47 seconds, running a marathon With Legs in 2:14 is a cinch.

Maybe but of course you thought Rupp could run 12:45, so there’s that.

Sure. 90% of the Afrikanos are drug cheating.

pretty simple, this is damage control. they know she is glowing hot and is busted, so instead they will use the 3 missed tests, give her a nice little 6 month ban and brush all this under the rug.

I reached out to ADAK, no response yet. Will try again later this week and try Federico Rosa as well and let you know if I hear anything.

Because of their anti-transparency policy, just like IAAF. Birds of a feather...

Now, that's the right way to go about it. You could also have reached out to the Daily Nation, they're notorious bungling quotes.

Same as Gault, I reached out to ADAK and was ghosted...

but Federico Rosa did respond to my questions,

“I think something was lost in translation. Missing 3 test in 1 year is a clear violation of anti doping rules. Even if this is a very serious and private issue, and I should not disclose any information, just to stop any rumours around the matter, Brigid in the last 12 months record has 1 missed test, around December 2018 or early January 2019.”

I don't think ADAK are allowed to share private records with the media. Would've been to ask the Daily Nation.

Yes and nothing will come of it because the IAAF is either corrupt or incompetent.

Or both.
