Are you sure? He’s not on the provisional suspension list.

Yes here is an article in a Swedish newspaper. Apparently the test was taken in November and he won XC in December so will likely lose his title as well

Ok, good catch. From the article (google translated)
23-year-old Robel Fsiha lives in Gävle but competes in long-distance running for the Stockholm Club Spårvägen.
The positive doping test should be submitted in November 2019, Robel Fsiha won the Euro gold in Lisbon in December.
Swedish Athletics has called the press conference at 15.00 on Friday for more information.
In a press release, the union cannot provide substance information, and they have not been decided in the case.
Participating in the press conference are Johans Storåkers, chairman, Stefan Olsson, secretary general, Karin Torneklint, the federation's captain and David Fridell, Spårvägen's Athletics Club.
Swedish Athletics received information about the case on Thursday, February 6, the interim suspension came into effect on Wednesday, February 5.
Robel Fsiha has taken the first Swedish men's gold in the European cross-country race, he also has six SM gold and five SM silver.
Why can’t they tell us what the substance was? ?
Shame to see as a Swede.
Sweden seems to have a crazy amount of doped runners for the small amount of actual good runners they have. just from my mind over the last years I remember bahta, aregawi and now him all doped up.
None of these have grown up in the Swedish sport community. Aregawi is not even a Swedish citizen anymore. But it's still a huge failure for the Swedish Athletics Association.
Robel Fsiha is suspended due to a postive test. Got tested in Ethiopia 13 days before winning the european XC championship. Cannot find any english news source but its all over european news.

Not Swedish. Remember that. He's an Ethiopian doper that trains in east africa.
Completely unexpected.
You’re now the third person to start a thread about this.

Also Adil Bouafif (~13:30 5000 m runner), who was caught in 2014.
After seeing Fsiha's run at the Euro XC, I was pretty much expecting this to happen. His massive improvement this season was very suspicious given the recent doping history of African immigrants running for Sweden.
Not really breaking, by being fcking lazy you missed not just one, but two already existing threads.
I'm sure though the Swedes will find the best way possible to solve this problem like they did for Bahta lol
Yesterday Coevett said that another poster should be thrown in jail for stating facts. That's what you're dealing with.

Can they even test these foreigners even if they're training in east Africa?
No surprise that he was managed by Aden
Don't be stoopid. East African exports prove the genetic supremacy of their race. Mr Weldon said so himself.
He is from Eritrea....not Ethiopia. What a disgrace!!! But good that they bust him in Ethiopia!! Looks like more runners in Ethiopia have to be worried. I welcome it!!! Just bust the cheaters!!
A Swedish citizen that makes him Swedish.
Perhaps you’ve an outdated unrealistic expectation of what Swedish means in 2020.
Catch up or the world will pass you by.
