Genzebe Dibaba's coach was busted for distributing dope.

I wonder if this is why Genzebe has not run this season. She scratched from the Oslo Diamond league citing injury.

doping is so prevalent nowadays and mainly pushed by the damn coaches on athletes, why?

because they want their athletes to win and get proper commissions/margin from their wins

It's possible Dibaba could have been involved. She has really terrorized our naturally aspirated Kenyan athletes for long.

Good thing WADA is upto the task and they will be unmasked one by one.

Shocking thing is that the state was in involved in Russia. How can the ministry of sports faciliate doping drugs to Atheletes,Shame!

Doping in sports is not a new trend.

Quote:
There is a doping double standard in American sports. The “big money” sports – football, baseball, and basketball – turn a blind eye to their athletes using performance-enhancing drugs while track – a “poor” sport – does not.


Quote:
For the past few decades, track governing bodies have dealt with doping by punishing athletes who test positive with a two-year ban from competition for a first offense and a lifetime ban from competition for a second offense. Next year, the punishment for a first-time offense will be extended from a two-year ban to a four-year ban from competition. Either way, these punishments are disproportionately harsh when compared to, say, the NFL’s 4-game suspension (basically 30 days) for a first offense, 8-game suspension (basically 60 days) for a second offense and year suspension for a third offense. A third offense in the NFL is less than a first offense in track. To make matters even more unequal, testing procedures in the NFL are, just like their punishments, more relaxed than those in track. The NFL doesn’t even test players for human growth hormone (HGH), one of the most widely used performance-enhancing substances in sports.


Quote:
The lack of transparency in the NFL is also worth noting. The players union is so protective that it doesn’t even allow the specific results of a positive test to be public, which means that players can be caught using steroids and publicly claim otherwise, with no repercussions. NFL testing and punishment procedures are so flawed that the head of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), David Howman, publicly criticized them last year (2013).

BTW Jama Aden, the Somalian coach who was busted with EPO has also extensively trained Mo Farah, Abubaker Kaki and Tarek Makhloufi. And Mo Farah also trained with Alberto Salazar, another coach suspected of doping athletes. Unfortunately investigations take years and by the time we find out anything, all these athletes will be retired.

One more issue on Mo Farah
Back in 2006 he ran in the 5000m at the Commonwealth games. Farah was 23 at the time. The race was won by Augustin Choge who was 19 at the time.

What is shocking however is that Farah finished in 9th place 44 seconds behind Choge. In fact at the time Farah was a below average runner.

6 years later Farah had surpassed Choge and is suddenly the top distance runner, winning every 5000m and 10,000m race. That kind of drastic improvement is what experts call an abnormal progression. He must have found a magic elixir or good training strategy or ............... You may draw your own conclusions.

This pic at the 2015 world athletics championships is very telling. Genzebe had just uncorked an incredible 1:57 in the final 800m and yet she does not even look tired. Meanwhile the other athletes look so tired they can hardly walk. And Laura Muir of GB is looking at Genzebe as if she is asking "What the heck are you smoking?"
