Replying To:

Bob Costas calling Dibaba a doper

Aden conspiracy

I was impressed that Bob said / was allowed to say as much as he did. At one point, he even corrected himself to add the information that Aden was specifcally arrested.

What was even more interesting, though, was what we learned from him & the viewers about the Aden's restrictions & Genzebe Dibaba's race-plan:

1.) Jama Aden has not been allowed to leave Spain.

2.) Therefore, Aden has been forced to coach Dibaba by phone.

3.) Aden told Dibaba to do nothing, essentially, in the first 700m by staying way back.

As a temporary aside, I wonder how the heck did these guys find out Dibaba's race-plan? Did she make it public in an interview?

Now, considering that Dibaba was beaten over 800m, effectively, and was dying at the end to the point that Simpson came close to nipping her, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ADEN CONVINCED DIBABA TO THROW THE RACE (IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE SUSPICION) BY TELLING HER TO RACE IT IN A WAY THAT HE KNEW SHE WAS VULNERABLE?
