Ethipio is the next Kenya. Systematic doping of all athletes. We need a country wide ban.

At 32:17/2:27 gotta be one of the slowest doped Ethios ever.

And another one bites the dust.
She runs a 15:27 5000/1:10 HM/2:27 full. Her 2:27 placed her 8th at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon this past October.

This states that she has 13 career wins and $61,000 in prize money. I believe 61 grand is not too shabby for an Ethiopian and probably keeps the family fed & happy. So without doping she may have not been that successful.

Looks like she runs for the West Side Runners, the same group that Girma Bekele Gebre is in.

Just a coincidence. Supposedly, 2 major positives from 2 athletes in London last year as well, but they were covered up. Sickening. -
Still not a single bust from North America or Western Europe. They are so clean they banned doping coach without implicating any his athletes because that ... that would be unthinkable.

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? -
You may have a point there. The pattern for the provisionals has been Russia, Kenya, Morroco, Ukraine, Belarus, India & Ethiopia. I have no doubt that the next "AIU announced" provisional-suspension will be from one of those nations. I guess these are the only nations that dope...or get caught?

It is easier to cover for 10 failed tests than for 100. -
I have never had faith in a federation (particularly Ethiopia) policing its own. Particularly for out-of-season testing.

Doping or not doping Ethiopia and Kenya will always be superior. Good night.

Um, which athlete from North America or Western Europe is winning or even in the prize money? As for the coach I think you are right on that one. Seems strange.

This maybe true. Ethiopia and Kenya's top clean runners are being cheated also. They might be the best without. How would anyone know? Are their clean runners there? Anymore every really good runner is being cheated,clean or dirty. When every time is suspected of cheating the value of the performance goes down for everyone? -

You don't ban a whole Country because of the actions of an Individual or even a few thousand Individuals, EACH PERSON is responsible for his or her actions, There are Bank Robbers in the USA, but it would be Totally Unfair to label ALL 330 Million people in the USA as Bank Robbers, even though there are probably thousands of bank robbers.
Most People Value and Honor Morals, Principles and Ethics over Money, MOST people are beyond reproach and will follow the rules, EXTREMELY FEW look to gain an unfair advantage. -

Or The Athletes when offered, turned them down and IMMEDIATELY turned the Coach in Anonymously. I think this is far more likely if 99.9% of people are honest (My 3rd Grade Teacher always used the number 99.9% when talking about how overwhelming the number of good people to bad people is). -
Doping is systemic in Kenya and EPOpia. It is time to clean house.
