There's a lot of chatter on Twitter right now about Paula being exposed as the one on the IAAF suspicious red list.... Is this story about to go nuclear?

Even though she didn't compete?

Yes, Randy Oldman. It's called out of competition testing, and she competed in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics.

No, you're missing the point. Kenyans don't need drugs to be the top runners, neither do other nations. You are obsessed with drugs, just like the coaches and doctors who dope the athletes.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

So, when you say that he is part of the problem, are you saying he is partly to blame for all those 225 athletes presumably using PEDs, merely due to his belief that they used PEDs, and that PEDs are effective?

Would it not make a great deal of sense that the world record holder in the marathon by an enormous margin has something unusual about their physiology such that they appear at the extreme end of what is naturally plausible for a human?

For all the undoubted corruption in athletics administrations (and sports administration) this whole story as it is currently being presented to us is a nonsense.

Nick Davies' piece seems sensible enough at this point. I suspect a lot of people have not read it.

He is an "IAAF spokesman".

All of the facts that are being revealed by this inquiry indicate that the IAAF is a corrupt organization. Any spokesman for that organization cannot be taken seriously at present. I would be more interested in what an independent spokesman has to say.

Rumours that Paula Radcliffe is on the "suspicion red" part of the list are gaining traction

"rumours gaining traction"

Idiot.

Come back when you have some actual evidence.

Why would she dope when she wasn't competing?

Yes, internet idiots like trollism are definitely part of the doping problem.

Any more news on this

I've heard things written like twitter is buzzing with the name but have not found anything even other than guesswork

Yep, that was my point.

"In 2006, Radcliffe learned that she and Gary Lough, her husband and manager, were expecting their first child. She continued to run during her pregnancy, but modified her usually grueling training. Radcliffe gave birth to a daughter, Isla, on January 17, 2007."

"Blood volume rises about 60 percent during pregnancy, mimicking the effects of blood doping in which greater blood volume allows more oxygen to be carried to the muscles. Muscles use oxygen to produce ATP or adenosine triphosphate, which fuels muscle contractions. (The volume and speed of this process is aerobic power or VO2max)."

Why doesn't she just reveal if she's the named athlete?

Has anyone considered that the 'German Documentary Maker' wants more people to watch their documentary? Or even create enough buzz to help them 'Make More German Documentaries'?

Do you have any idea how hard it is to raise the cash to create a TV programme? Some sensationalism and mystery has to be in their interest.
