No. Whole thing is a bunch of stupid based on money and power for another bureaucracy. My guess is the bigger countries buy "clean" when their preferred athletes test positive. The small countries counter by not testing and giving the athletes warning when wada inspectors are headed their way, but they can't protect them abroad.

I used to be a national level athlete in the 70s, but the rise of doping killed my interest in the sport. Two of my training partners won World and Olympic golds, and both were doping. One (David Jenkins) went on to run a multi-million dollar doping operation in the US, before he got caught and convicted. According to him, if he ever spilled what he knows the history of the sport would have to be rewritten. I hope that they've got it all more under control these days but I rather doubt it. I suspect that the dopers are always just a step or two ahead of the testers...

If her kidneys were that bad off, she would have been on dialysis. Also, if your red blood cell count is so low that you may die, then you would receive a blood transfusion. My grandma received both both blood trasfusions and epo bc both her bone marrow and kidneys were permanently at low functioning. But if you are otherwise healthy and merely have a kidney infection, you just take antibiotics and it clears up in hours or a couple days.

In case she really needed that EPO treatment why wouldn't they say it just at the beginning of her treatment? Why would they wait till she is being tested positive and only then would come up with this explanation? They clearly know that this is doping and that she is being tested regularly. Why wouldn't they tell before "look we have an athlete here who needs this treatment because of these reasons and she is not gonna competing in big events for as long as it is in her system"... And in case it was a real medical treatment wouldn't they have proof of it? Some doctors must have diagnosed her and came up with this treatment, right? When I was accused of being a cheater and being punished for it, I would show my medical records immediately...

Since the 50's there have been specialty consulting doctors that assist teams in how to beat the doping checks.

In some counties very mediocre runners can comfortably win big prizes that can offset their travel costs.

If they existed, medical records showing the need for the EPO should be easy to obtain. If there was a real effort in this case to obtain those records, and they could not be found, that to me is hard evidence of cheating. I'd bet most athletes cheating pay off doctors to produce false medical records anyway.

Sad! I wish that athletics would always be true sport. But, unfortunately when big money and fame are involved, so is corruption.

I thought she was busted a while ago. Elite Running Team made a statement on their Instagram saying they have cut ties with her given the doping issue.

For me, in such a case, it's a lifetime ban.

I feel like the question of how many cheaters there are has to depend a lot on the systems within which these athletes operate. If it were all up to just them and their own initiative, I wouldn't put it any higher than cheating in any other endeavor. Ten percent maybe? Twenty? But it's not just up to them. They're all part of various organizations made up of many people, where the incentive is extremely strong for the people in charge to produce results. Meaning the scum will very often rise to the top. Because of that, I expect the percentage of dirty organizations to be much higher than the percentage of "natural cheaters", and the ranks of cheaters to include not only the ones who would have done it anyway, but some who were seen as easy to influence, some who were tricked, and some who were totally unknowing. Edit: Also those who might have cheated if it were easy to arrange, but lack the capability on their own so never would have if not exposed to the greater resources of a national or professional organization. I wouldn't be surprised if it were as high as half, overall. There is probably no way to know.

Athletes don't just go off on their own and use EPO, roids, PEDs etc. Also, top level athlete's do not simply train themselves. The coach is more than likely involved somehow. Top athletes have top notch coaches. Start nosing around certain coaches and you will likely find a whole group of athletes using PEDs.

It's very hard to put all of the blame on these athletes when the allure of wealth and fame is so great and cheating is so rampant among the global company sponsors, the gambling industry and so on... I have known several minor league baseball players who had to compete clean against many "can't miss" players who were cheating and getting away with it. It's a rampant problem. It's going to continue so long as those making it possible and even necessary are not confronted. It's the money stupid!! I actually feel sorry for these athletes. Many of those they are defeating by cheating are cheating too! It's just not fair all around.

There's likely many more because the biological passport hasn't been updated with the science. I think it would be more fair to legalize EPO with limit on hematocrit and testing for plasma expanders. Otherwise money gives the advantage to those who can afford altitude simulation tents or moving to 4,000 meters and training with oxygen. Some Norwegians and Fins have a genetic mutation giving then hemoglobin levels of 20 to 22 g/dL and that's legal but still carries risk.

Dopes and comes 4th. Hmmm...

We don't really know her. She came 4th...with an advantage? She should indeed stop then

Ahhhh the African runners, surprise surprise

If I look at the rate that times are comming down...I smell a lot of bullshit !!!!

This is Africa man…

i think a lot of these athletes have used some type of drug

lol absolutely nobody is surprised

Come on we know what's gonna happen she will appeal it she might miss Paris she won't miss Los Angeles And I doubt she will miss Paris They will turn it into a racial charged incident

Who cares as they are all doping. You cant expect athletes not yo take something to help recover.

Imm sickkk🤮 and tired of these athletes using drugs c'mon 😢

It's more likely that most are using. The ones that get caught probably are taking more chances, due to injury, age or lack of natural talent. In other words, if you're extremely talented and well trained, you can take a more cautious approach to PED usage. If you're lagging behind your peers you're more willing to take some chances. The other thing that happens (same with criminals of all types) is that you're using and getting away with for so long that you just get reckless.

Even more ridiculous is that she went from an 11.4 running nobody to a 10.78 running Olympic gold medalist in a single year. Jamaica is filthy with cheats. They are too big to fail though. If they bust up the systemic doping going on there the superstars all go down. They already covered for them in 2018 and will never bust them. WADA and the IOC are a farce.

Gimme a break! I am physician of internal medicine who has worked with both chronic illness and athletes for decades. The solution for both is identical and that's why I spent tremendous time learning how athletes dope. Doping techniques save the lives of chronic illness patients and aging patients. In my journey to learn I discovered everyone must dope to remain competitive. In fact, I soon had coaches all over the USA confiding in me as they learned about my interest. Come to find out everyone must do it. Even GIRLS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL soccer players! So the idea of wagging your finger at pro athletes is ridiculous!

There is no professional sport at the top level without doping.

We need to test those testing it should not be controlled by western countries

@@shibasurfing my point still stands there is huge bias against non western countries to ben it her complete countries for political reasons sanctions war just to punish all the athletes doping and clean as a whistle. .yet would never do that to a western country or israel for occupying another country or for some players doping. The head for s in t he sand and we oy get ti hear t he western side as they other side is always considered guilty not matter what. .right now rusdia should be competing like ukraine both gave terrible leaders. Ukraine arrest anyone complaint about their leader has arrested pastors christians clised churches open dicrimunatiin against christians and those that speak Russian or dusagree with the war and wants oeace talks. No nation is as corrupt they resale tne weapons to hamas and other terrorists yet they still get to enjoy. Competing with no sanctions. They don't even have elections. They are not a democracy.

Allow it. Let it be. Make it free and open. Use anything that may enhance strength and durability in all physical competitions. We may yet come up with super abilities as human beings with the use of such enhancing substances. Let us explore our given internal limits and external remedies.

its funny, your talking like its just a few bad apples taking peds. get real. what this is the negligent, overconfident and the unlucky that get caught. its the same in cycling except the doctors know exactly how to get away with it. maybe the althletics doctors should get a consult from cocconi, ferrari, san milan. cyclists just dont get caught anymore, must be a clean era, lol.

Stop doping.....lol

I think yared naguse is dirty

Kipyegon is the biggest cheat of them all!

No amount of doping will ever make you fast. You can increase your epo naturally. Those that do it will never be caught. Others will have the patience to go through the peocess while others won't. They will take the shortcut...

Sad that you think that; I believe with all that measures in place, actual doping has gotten quite rare. Of course there are certain exploits and workarounds being used to get a small advantage, but outright doping like we know it from the 1990s to 2000s has gotten very difficult these days.

​@nunja924 Sad that you think that. Between custom sarms and undectable new things, Peptides, drugs, injectable aminos its very very easy to dope now. Even regular sarms off the internet can be clear of your system in under a week. ALL athletes at that level using performance enhancers. Only question is are they using legal or illegal ones. I am sure the Dutch team is using for example. They are probably keeping it all within the rules or as close as they can. Most male athletes can take 250 to 300mg a week of testosterone and not test positive. Women can run theirs up to 4 times the normal female limit. Big advantage, but to be legal has to be prescribed and monitored by a doctor for a valid condition. They want to monitor to keep it high but within the legal limit. Taking epo is stupid though. Other legal and also illegal undectable ways to accomplish same thing. Easiest is to sleep 6 hrs a day in an altitude chamber.
