Russians are still banned,🤔 but WADA turns a blind eye here,even the Chinese swimmer's got let off,
WADA what a joke
😮😮😮
explain this shelly ann fraser running her personal best at 34yrs old at 10.60 when she couldn't get below 10.70 in her twenties something don't look right!!
X Games is the answer to the hypocrisy. Should they stop using peds, the results would be slightly higher than the preWW2 era. Without peds, they can't train at the professional level and recover fast enough, let alone avoid injuries from overtraining, or progress. Metabolism and its aspects need to be amplified. Read Rodchenkov's book and watch the movie Icarus. Plus, documentaries and podcasts of Lance Armstrong
Drug testing is stupid. Just have docs monitor health. I hate clean sports. Reminds me of middle school girls basketball. Final score 8 to 11. All the winners are dirty, but if not caught, they are legends. If caught, cheater. Same guy, same result. Different info. All your favorite "natties" are dirty.
Look in recent times we have seen more world records. course records and personal bests its got ridiculous and you have to ask the question whos doping come on the women can now run 28mins 56sec for 10k on the road really something aint right here half marathon 57.30 marathon 2hrs 30sec its very suspicious i bet those guys like DE CASTELLA, LOPES. TREACY. SPEDDING.SALAZAR, SEKO would be thinking we are minutes behind look into this it goes beyond these carbon fibre shoes its not whos taking performance enhancing aids but how many.
They should be doing an investigation on those EU runners who suddenly are winning long distance races out of nowhere. That's should include SH.
As long as there’s money to be made in athletics, there are gonna be cheaters. I believe the testing and PED use will be an arms race indefinitely.
We should all note, as was here, that records and breakout performances tend to run by nation. Nations break out. That’s because national governing bodies control PED testing, adjudication, and enforcement. So let’s say the world is mostly clean (😂) except for one country. That country would clean up, and not just in track & field, but pretty much everything from weight lifting to archery. Why? Because the revolution in chemistry and bio sciences have contributed designer substances that provide a major advantage in virtually every sport. Well, in every sport. Name one where you think it does not and I’ll tell you what they’re using and you’ll have to pick your jaw up off the floor. When speaking about the subject, as a humorous aside when challenging the audience I would mention that equestrian might be a good answer, but then the horses are doped. And of course that has been true of equine competitions of all kinds for decades. So not only can chemists come up with increasingly specific advantages, say, in reaction times to a gun for sprint sports (yes…) but also those same chemists can dodge increasingly sophisticated testing regimes which always lag ergogenic chemistry. Back to my original point, you see NATIONS doing well because they control testing, adjudication, and enforcement. Russia got dinged because they were so egregious about it, so Russian, as it were… And although Russians tend to think the world is out to get them, in fact their own internal problems cause them to fall under the spotlight. For example, their athletic culture is one where various clubs and coaches tend to pull each other down (Russian-on-Russian), causing more athletes to whistle-blow about doping. More “loyal” athletic cultures, more loyalty to their national teams (or more coercive internal methods), tend not to tattle. And once records are set, it’s basically not in anyone’s interests, not national or international governing bodies, to undermine the sport by revealing doping. I’m not excusing any of it, just trying to explain it so fans can understand how complex and essentially human the whole situation can be… 😢
I found the results of the Tokyo marathon this year alone highly suspicious. There’s way too many completely unknown athletes suddenly popping up right at the very front of those races and they run record times as if it’s nothing.
Even athletes like Eliud Kipchoge and Sifan Hassan started out as middle distance champs. Those new faces debut a marathon with no international race experience to boot and so many of them run sub 2:06 marathons? Give me a break. Running is evolving into another sport that is as, if not dirtier than cycling.
This is so bogus. Get rid of all these damn rules. If someone wants to risk their health taking some drugs, that's their call. It's not cheating, it's stupid. If you ran the sport properly and some gold medalsists didn't have to work a day job you wouldn't have this insane pressure to be at the tippy top. Stop drug testing entirely and just let athletes compete. Gatorade was designed to be performance enhancing. Do you want to ban that too? Get rid of all these damn rules and just let them run. Focus your cheating rules on the shoes so they don't put springs in them, but as for the athlete's bodies, you have NO authority to regulate them.
Slight edge….. I now know you know nothing what you are talking about….
"This is the seventh week in a row you've used Kenya for negative promotion in class"
Can we please attempt to promote things in a more neural light instead of trying to use it to soft accuse certain regions?
Change the topic of your video no news there
But what about biological passports? EPO and its derivatives lead to the creation of more new blood cells. This proportion changes from a non-EPO doping to a doping athlete. Even though the test doesn't pick up EPO (Half life is 4hrs or something so is out of ones system pretty quick regardless), one should be able to pick up this dramatic change in blood values?
In Kenya with so much competition to even get selected I can understand why doping is so prevalent. Life can be quite hard in these countries to get ahead and out of poverty etc. You make it in athletics your life is made in Kenya with all the prizemoney sponsorship deals etc etc. Big incentive to dope.
I know this is gonna sound ignorant, but there is no way any organization can test with 100% certainty, so why bother. We should just assume everyone is dirty. This way, when professional athletes toe the line fans of the sport won't have to guess they will just know that they are all doping. Sort of like professional bodybuilding.
Doping will continue as long as it's considered cheating. Once it's treated as STEALING and becomes punishable by being arrested, removed from arena's in handcuffs, put in jail and tried in a court of law people may eventually stop doing it.
Fucking everyone is on drugs at that level,every single elite athlete has done it
The punishments need to be harsher. All bans should be subject to details of the cheating being released before the athlete is ever allowed back. For example a runner is given 2 years for a positive results for steroids. If that athlete hasn't not only confessed to the offense and detailed how and when the cheating occurred then they stay on the banned list until such time as that information is released by that athlete. An athlete themself is not the only party in the cheating and until the dealers and manufacturers get taken down then sports won't be clean.
For a moment, i thought a Kenyan athlete had been caught out. This is a joke, this fan base deserves better!.This waters down the incredible information that you were giving out.
Tell us more about these techniques methods if you can. I'm a hobby endurance athlete so I only hear from you, but it's interesting.
cheating has been around since the beginning of time there will always be athletes trying to gain an advantage and some will get caught and some wont. Its cat an mouse with the regulators as they find new ways to detect and the athletes find new ways to cheat.
I’d be more surprised if anyone was natural.
The average Kenyan earns less than $300USD per month. Kipchoge's net worth tops $3 million. That is a powerful incentive to cheat. Take a few pills and you can escape poverty if you are lucky enough to dodge the dope testing. It's the huge money on offer that is driving the corruption..
Please make video on10km roade world record holder who got banned recently
Are steroids cheating in bodybuilding? Only difference is it’s obvious to people because the roids they use directly impact their appearance
A possible 8.97 100-meter sprint?
An 18.4 200m sprint?
How about a 1.57.00 marathon?
Im ready.
BRING ON THE DOPING!!!… 😅😅😅
They can compete in the enhanced games
Free Mo
I mean all modern day pro runners use PEDs, some are just unfortunate to get caught. If we assume that all world records are clean, then it means that when some professional marathoner will use PEDs they will beat these records. I highly doubt that antidoping screening works so well as to not to allow it to happen at least once in history. If all current records are natural, we could expect some talented pro athletes using PEDs frequently beating them by a significant margin, which is not the case.
Disappointing video with little context compared to your usual excellent standard
When you're competing against other freak athletes, a slight edge is significant. But I think we need to blame the system for pushing athletes into it rather than blaming the individuals for their "moral failures". It's like shaming a diabetic person for loading up their cart with junk food at the grocery store without considering the fact that those foods are cheap, and advertisers know how to entice buyers to purchase their product. It's a complicated issue, and when your livelihood depends on your performance, then it makes sense that you would be susceptible to relying on PEDs.
You are so naïve or deceptive in the area of drug in sport! Dig deeper please!!! The SAME people that make the tests are the same ones who figure out how to beat the tests! It’s politics! To call “some athletes” cheaters is hypocrisy of hypocrisies! The whole sport is CHEAT at the highest level! End of story. Quit being naive or an outright liar.
African nations are no better than the Russians and Chinese, but yet we are to blame as we cheer them on to get under 2 hrs for a marathon and the rewards that will come with that.
Ped’s do not give you a slight advantage, they give you a Huge advantage.
Sad the Kenyans are succumbing to the lure of doping. Their legend will go the way of Lance Armstrong.
Most of those you showed in the video were bans for 'whereabouts' failures, not positive drug tests. Its a 'cat-&-mouse' game. It'll always be the doper's chemists keeping one step ahead of the testing ability. Change a structural part of a molecule that doesn't have any relevance to improving the physiology of a runner, but its the 'marker' part of the molecule that the test finds, and you'll pass the testing protocol.
That shade to Amusan haha. No coz we all know somethings up with her but no one wants to admit it
No, not for the last two seasons.
Over the past 7 years, well over 200 Kenyans have tested positive, for PED's.
If that happened in Germany, they would have been banned from all international competitions.
Fact.
PED's should be legal and let's see who is really the fastest…. It works in bodybuilding!
This new method would be easily detected if the biological passport was updated with the science (see 2021 Holly Cox paper). Obviously they don't really want to catch all the dopers. It's a fake system to protect corporate interests.
