I won't get into all of the details, but this is big, as in really big. The dirtiest coach in distance running, Jama Aden of Somalia, was just arrested in Spain, where they found all sorts of used syringes, EPO, and steroids in his hotel room. It has been common knowledge for years that he is the head of a doping ring, and the news had been leaked to Lets Run as long as three years ago. Aden's various African runners have been making a mockery of the sport for years. They include G. Dibaba, the Ethiopian who has been lapping the best runners in the world, and T. Makloufi, who blew the doors off everyone to win the 1500 gold in the Olympics.
Many of these runners (all of whom have beaten every test for years) were present in the hotel when the arrests were made.
The only question is: which names will go down, and who will escape? The biggest name is all is that filthy cheat Mo Farah. Although popularly associated with Alberto Salazar, Farah alone goes off every year and trains with Aden. Farah, like Aden, is Somalian, although in the UK everyone has to pretend that he is British i order to be politically correct.
The best place to follow the story (which will be developing for some time, I imagine) is Lets Run, where there is a deep and abiding hatred of dopers.
