Do they really think the people getting the most utility out of these "undetectable" drugs are C-rate Kenyans with no expert advice or connections to help them cover up? The amount of USA athletes on designer packages and actually medalling is sure to be far more troubling.

It works both ways. Do you really think that the standard of scientific testing and analysis is as great in Kenya as in the USA or Germany, when the only WADA approved lab in Africa was shut down earlier this month for incompetence?

Yes it does Hoady. Learn to read. Flawed analysis and non-compliance. Sound pretty incompetent to me.

If they were actually concerned about integrity "in the run up to the Paris Olympics" they'd specifically target every medal threat from every country or everyone with a certain mark achieved in the last X years, and not a bunch of Kenyans who aren't going to make a final.

AIU chief Brett Clothier is in Kenya to ensure that the country is fulfilling its anti-doping promises in the run up to the Paris Olympics. He notes that while cases have actually fallen in 2023 compared to 2022, doping cheats are finding new methods and substances to avoid detection. In particular, they are moving to a new form of EPO called 'serum'.

I find it hillarious that anyone would think that Kenyans are using the above named substance and Europeans are not. Was this substance invented in Kenya and is only available in Kenya ?

What is Brett Clothier doing to ensure the obvious British dopers who pop out of nowhere to beat Ingebrigtsen are not doping ?

So fast = dirty?

That's pretty bad for the last few decades of dominance from East Africa, isn't it?

We must remain vigilant and adapt testing methods to stay ahead of doping tactics, ensuring a fair playing field for all athletes.

Or European managers and coaches will get their hands on it. Most of the gear is available in Kenya already.

Substitute “Kenya” with pretty much any country in the world. Such is the sorry state of distant running. I would bet that nearly everyone toeing the line in any final of any world or Olympic (minus the marathon) race knows the system.

Why not the Marathon? They are all clean because it's your favorite?
