Yet another Moroccan suspended !

Filthier than a Calcutta sewer.

What does Passant think of this one?

Does Ghost1 think he should be given a 3rd chance?

Mikhou is a runner that belongs to Bahraini Athletics federation.

Should Nigeria be blamed about Salwa Eid Naser?

I had never heard of "homologous blood transfusions." I always thought athletes used their own stored blood. Yikes.

From the Reuters article:

"Homologous blood transfusions, which Mikhou was provisionally found to have used, involve someone collecting and infusing the blood of a compatible donor. Autologous blood transfusions use a person’s own blood that has been stored."

Why are so many Moroccans getting busted running for other countries? Do you think it has nothing to do with Moroccans getting busted running for Morocco?

And yes - Nigeria should share in the blame about Salwa Eid Nasser, especially if it was part of a pattern of Nigerian busts.

Most people accept that Ruth Jebet's bust as a Bahraini runner was part of the Kenyan doping problem.

Playing the teacher hein? This dosent works with me.

Everyone in this existence is dirty. If I dig a bit deeper I will prove to you how your Great Britain is dirty

North Africans are completely incapable of taking responsibility aren't they? If they fail or do something bad it's either 'God's will' or it doesn't matter because 'everybody else is doing it' (with no evidence whatsoever).

How many is “so many”?

In 2018, according to official figures published by WADA, Bahrain had 3 ADRVs, Morocco had 2, and the UK had 2.

These nations were far behind China, India, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, and even behind countries like Italy, South Africa, the United States.

When you say “most people accept”, I’m not convinced you speak for “most people”.

Sounds just like you when the Ingebrigtsens push and trip other runners, when British middle-distance stars allegedly assault race officials, when Sebastian Coe trains in Italy and it's OK but Aouita training in Italy is a sign of him doping, etc.

Finally you found your match in Passant.

Indeed.

I think several is enough.

You're the guy who think El G is clean because of a poll on LetsRun.

Just haven't got time today to hit my head against a wall with a full-time paid doping apologist troll.

Coevett, in fairness a post was shared with empirical data showing fewer doping violations by Morocco vs. many other countries, including countries that you presumably root for. Given your stance on these boards I think it is incumbent upon you to respond to that and explain your stance in light of these numbers.

The following statements are tough to all be true on the same plane of existence…

1) Most Moroccans are dirty

2) Moroccans are found to be doping with less frequency than many other countries in different regions

3) Athletes from these other countries are not doping

Honestly, you kind of just sound like a guy putting his fingers in his ears and going LALALALALA.

I think a lot of Moroccans are dirty - there seems to be a culture of doping over there. They've had dozens of doping busts over the last 3 decades and they're second only to Russia in ABP-hematological anomalies sanctions. Lol.

You seem to make a lot of time to talk about some no-name African.

You posted 5 of the first 12 posts here.

Morocco looks to be about the same level as Italy or Turkey or Ukraine.

I look forward to all your Italian threads.

@ Coevett

Give us a single example of a Moroccan running for Morocco that was busted and that had medaled in the IAAF world championship or Olympic Games.

Amine Laalou never medaled:

African Championships (Silver) and Mediterranean Games (regional games)

Mariem Alaoui Selsouli here is her CV:

Except that the population of Turkey and Italy is double that of Morocco, so you’d expect half the number of positives from Moroccan athletes.

When I asked how many is “so many”, I didn’t get an answer corrected for national population.

Which population figure do we use for the busted Bahraini?

To be most meaningful, we should use the population of nationally federated track and field athletes.

Italy isn't the double of Morocco population.

They are using Moroccan runners in middle distance like Spain.

Who wrote The Economist article?

Coevett some weeks ago wrote that Mo Farah is another doping African. That is shooting himself and his country in the legs.
