Van Niekerk has been running very well the last two seasons and i expected him to win.But to break Michael Johnson's WR took it to another level,and from lane a tricky outer lane.

Genzebe has not been running much probably because of the fiasco with her coach being busted for EPO. I am fairly certain that Genzebe Dibaba is a doper as is Mo Farah.

In any case most countries including Ethiopia and Kenya do not have an off season dope testing program. Remember that doping is most effective when you are doing your pre-season running. Athletes build up their endurance during the months of January to March and thats when they dope. So testing during the Olympics is almost useless.

Without an effective off-season testing program in each country, its difficult to believe any result.


I don't know how true your statement is. From sources on the internet, tests are random and can be taken anywhere anytime. I have never heard of off season dope testing program. I'd appreciate if you enlighten me verifiable information.


testing is random..a gym buddy of mine was woken up from sleep to pee in a cup...remember john ngugi was banned due to this, he said he was in the army and the code fore bade random testing

Testing is not random
Random is not the right word. The correct word is "Targeted"

Targeted because they typically target athletes who are running well or those who have previously failed tests

For example Kenya and Russia are the two most tested teams in 2016

This is due to suspicions raised by Hajjo Seppelts documentary and the ensuing outcry.

An athlete who is not doing well and who likely will not win a medal can go for years without ever being tested out of competition.

I am not sure how true this is. As I recall it, Ngugi refused to be tested because two muzungus showed up at his farm, he did not even know who they were so he refused to give a sample.

AK were supposed to inform him that two IAAF officials were coming to test him and they did not.

Further to that, Ngugi who was almost illiterate, could not understand a word of what those two Muzunguz were saying.

On another note, I was happy to see Senegalese heptathlete Naffisatou Thiam winning gold for Belgique instead of Jessica Ennis
