interesting note on the shoe that Haile uses.
Its a marathon shoe with a spike plate.
Hermans thinks Haile can run 55 in the last lap and 26:39.
Will be interesting.

mobile9 - you don't know anything either please stop pretending that you know all of the top elite track athletes. you know nothing.
You can think that if you like. I wouldn't speak about things of which I had no knowledge.
Even if you think you know, you don't know. I hold a persons integrity and innocence sacred until proven otherwise. Stop the accusations!
Its Jos Hermens NOT Hermans!
First of all this discussion should not be about drugs but Haile.
I think that he will run the 10 k in Beijing and finish 3rd.
It will probably be a very interesting 10k with 1 or 2 kenyans, seleshi and kennisa as well as tadese going 24 laps together.
I think that haile will try and keep the pace honest and tadese will join him in that effort.
At the end it may be that haile breaks seleshi and gets the silver.
If the old man does some speed work and comes in healthy... don't count him out.
He would need a lot of cooperation from god ... to beat kenenisa
If kenenisa comes in a little tired from over training... or with some nik from an injury ... haile can be a three time champ.
That will be marvelous.
Regardless, the ethiopians are likely to take a 4th 10k title and that will be a first at any distance.

Hermens was also Suzy Favor´s manager. Did he provide her with EPO too? Oh, I forgot.
I would imagine so.
Jose hermens is well known abour EPO
buti beleive and repect Heilo i think he is clean
You show your lack of judgement. How about Meb? Jo Pavey? Sarah Schwald? Is Amy Mortimer a cheat because her manager is Zhanna Block's husband?
Use some common sense.
What about them?
Why is believing that everyone is clean showing common sense?
To be fair, you do believe that the Ethiopian federation appointed a physiologist with a specialisation in blood as head coach without cheating in mind.
was marion jones a cheat because her husband was a PED user then her boyfriend was a user? uhhh - yes! as the head of the ioc said about marion prior to being actually busted "ms. jones would be wise to choose her associates more carefully"
mobile9 - you're a troll, plain and simple.
WHY was my post removed?
"You can't handle the truth" - (C) A Few Good Men
Is common so rare around these parts? (Oh yes, I forgot where I am).
Tell me: you think Amy Mortimer and Anne Shadle are on drugs given their manager?
It's not as simple as direct guilt by association, certainly not for managers. For coaches, yes, much more often, but not for managers.
US is number 1 in drugs.
67 positive drug tests in athletics.
pretty amazing that you are acusing Haile and Ethiopia given that only one Ethiopian tested positive and he was based in japan.
No doubt in my mind that American distance runner are full of dope .. just like the sprinters.
If the sprinters are dirty so are the distance runners.
USA drugged distance runner cannot do squat against africans.. thats why you are frustrated and posting here every day crying about it.
trollism,
Honestly: where do you get the idea that I profess that 'everyone' is clean? Because I am much more particular and scrutinous in labeling those cheats who have yet to test positive?
There's a list of people (current and former) who I "know" are cheats despite the lack of positive tests (I'm waiting for some to get rolled from Trevor's trial) and others whom I would bet good money on being dirty. I don't assume that Anne Shadle just because of her associations. Coaches, far more than agents, will be the ones instigating drugs -- or not. There are a number of agents who, either actively or through willful ignorance, have facilitated the drug process, but they're easy to spot (and a minority, especially these days).
Neither you or I were surprised when Marion "came forward." Nor were either of us surprised when Boulami was busted (or any of those cheating Moroccan bastards for that matter). I don't know where you get off saying that someone witha similar educational background as Jack Daniels is a facilitator of drugs. Not everyone is a cheating bastard. Really, you can by a ticket from the US to Addis Ababa on United/Ethiopian Air, Lufthansa, or BA/bmi and see for yourself. They get up, run, eat, sleep, run again and sleep some more. And a couple times a week WADA personel come by to take blood and urine. I really recommend that you go. And consider the possibility that I just might know what I'm talking about.
Dude, all you do is troll for posts about drug users and insist that they are clean, your shtick is old.
Do the Ethiopian federation carry out any drug tests?
I haven't seen them before but, honestly, when you're one of the ten poorest countries in the worls and you have a worsening famine in the countryside, I think we can all agree that there are better places for the government to spend their money. Particularly because WADA is doing a good job; as the Ethiopians don't like being away from home much they're usually pretty easy to find. If they're not competing they're in Addis most of the time.
You didn't see me on the Arrested Development thread?
EPO is pretty quick out of the system. WADA isn't really in any position to catch anyone who doesn't want to get tested at any given point.
They can hang around in Addis as much as they want, but in the short time they in danger of testing positive their are plenty of places to hide.
If only they had a whereabouts system. As if.
