uh oh...Jacobs has been found out?

British tabloids are the original sh1t stirrers. Apart from a few papers they go straight for controversy to sell papers and even the more prestigious papers will go for outrage, just not on the front page.

So I wouldn't equate what you see in the papers with the general public's opinion. Just like you can't use Twitter for the same purpose.

If this guy was British and this story came out, would you still be defending him?

No, because it's quite plausible the British, with a grand total of zero busts (not including party boy Oliver Dustin's recent cocaine "mix-up") are involved in some degree of cover-up because zero busts in any sport is statistically impossible. Walk into your local gym and likely to be in the company of a good number of PED abusers.

Please don't be like the Norwegian posters here claiming that Norway as country is on a different plane morally and ethically than the rest of the world.

You gotta remember. Theres idiots everywhere and naive kids everywhere. Just like you are naive regarding your favourite kenyan athletes, so are Norwegians. Combine that with a nation with extremely high trust and a more «joy is more important than winning» approach, you’ll get these people.

But, there is one factor you forget, there is nowhere with as much testing. Gotta remember, lots of money and few professional athletes --> way harder to dope. There was no pause in testing during corona

This was news to me:

Given the recency of his emergence, Jacobs was not included in the Athletics Integrity Unit’s drug testing pool, which targets the world’s best athletes.

Bit like a 1500m runner who improved by 10 seconds in 1 year.

…or 1 minute over 5000m.

WORST Losers?? We can "Trump" that !!

Look. Everybody knows you're not Kenyan. Why do you still pretend that you are?

Remember that time you told everyone you were at the World Cross and then couldn't post a single picture?

You're a very dishonest person. A very bad mama.

I thought we had him narrowed down to a walk-up in Brooklyn?

not suprise

FTFY

Brits are struggling to deal with the losses in the Euros and 4x100 relay to the Italians and are trying to slam Jacobs as a result

Surprised they haven't tried to find his black father yet but maybe that would be too obvious after the EUROS fiasco

Yeah I mean you hope these are outliers or pandemic-related and they are testing more than 4 times a year basically. That being said look at Nasser/Coleman and their number of failed tests. Also, for the countries in the higher categories like Kenya they **have** to test them more literally for eligibility purposes.

While I'm sure some dopers (micro-dosing etc.) are slipping through the cracks for the athletes in the RTP I think AIU is doing a decent job. Full-throttle dopers will be caught, and ABP is going to catch up to others. I'm sure whereabouts gets innocent (of doping) parties, but in general deterrence is part of the equation and effective. Others I know are more skeptical of anti-doping but I think the system in place is pretty good it just needs to be more dynamic for emerging athletes and more comprehensive for contenders by scaling back on testing athletes who have lost relevance on the world stage.

His father was interviewed by NBC News. Are you that dumb?

Are you confusing Mitchell-Blake with football player Derrius Guice or is there a story I'm missing here? Not going to allow a horrible smear without some sources here.

Dont associate JI with this crap.

Ikr. After we crushed their teabags in the revolution they just had to come fill their kettle back up here in 1812, as if the same thing wasn’t gonna happen again to their plucky butts

Charlie Francis coach of Ben Johnson referred to them in "Speed Trap" as "greater than thou Brits"

I would say this is accurate.

clown car local police messed up chain of custody on rape kit, plus local da was in bed with the university w/r/t defending athletes (see also: baylor, etc.)

school disciplinary committee has a different standard and found him guilty, told him to leave campus and never come back
