Doping

But there are no accusations around Mo Farah, the radio keeps repeating like a mantra.

been waiting for the outcome of this. Farah obviously clean.... I mean, 'He has never failed a blood test'

Oh, you horrid cynics. Our Mo has only ever benefited from training at altitude in Africa with similarly undrugged athletes. Clearly purely incidental that testing regimes happened to be a little more relaxed.

similarly undrugged athletes

Which ones? Half of Kenya's runners are currently banned.

When that's your domain, drug taking goes with the territory

Errr, that was more than a little tongue in cheek! Distance runners are about as credible as USPS cyclists in the Armstrong era (apart from the innocent ones, of course). Kindly re-read adding deeply sarcastic tone.

haha well spotted :)

Yes, I got that. I guess I was hammering the point home, at least in my own head.

Thank the deities for that, I was worried that people might take me for an Express reader...

I mean, I read the obvious sarcasm and then I still posted like I was arguing with you. That says more about my current fucked mental state than yours. #lessracingnextyear

No worries, and I am sorry to be rude about the Express, it is quite absorbent and the print doesn't come off too much.

Was this kid coached by Salazar? We deserve to know.

Question everything.

If 48mins wins it, I might give it a shot.

Can't help feeling the reaction (or lack of) to Salazar by athletics, and the defence by Nike says a lot more about the credibility of the sport than the blood tests

Anyone got a link to the report?

Just look at cycling news twitter feed right now !

?

They appear to be listing all the wrong doings associated with his tried and tested formulas.

Eg
Salazar told Lathe L-carnitine infusions. "All completely legal and natural." even though the amounts he was suggesting were 20 times what is allowed.

No evidence Armstrong took him up on his suggestion.

Ah ok. Can you link the account. Can’t find it sorry!

Says it all here

Thanks!

Amazing the glee with which the media went after Wiggins after the TUE and jiggy bag guff, but I can't see the same questions being asked of Farah with the same intensity. Farah went from mediocrity to being the best of the world while being coached by someone who has just been banned for 4 years. I know which I think is more incriminating.

Doping only happens in cycling though, every commoner knows that...

Does e doping go here?
