Ethipio is the next Kenya. Systematic doping of all athletes. We need a country wide ban.
It’s not all of them and it is certainly not systematic.
This positive test and your post illustrate the challenges with policing this sport.
Etaferahu is ranked 117th in the world in the women’s marathon, despite earning many tens of thousands of dollars. How can we fund anti-doping efforts so that athletes ranked outside the top 100 are subject to random, out-of-competition testing?
Furthermore, it has been noted here that Etaferahu appears to be based out of the United States. She may very well have a green card and be on her way to American citizenship. What bearing should her results have on Ethiopia when she no longer resides there and quite possibly hasn’t stepped foot in the country for years?
