@zonkerh @jgault13 Yeah Liliyia Shobukova - her and her agent owe money to a friend of mine that paced her to that win.

Parvej Khan would have flown under the radar if he wasn't tested in a non-NCAA setting.

Pretty clear that NCAA testing wasn't going to catch him.

The US collegiate landscape for track and field will change dramatically this year. The impact is not good. Someone told me that the impact on the sport may not be that dramatic. Hmm,I guess that it depends upon your definition of dramatic.

@dana_gio6 This whole fiasco just exemplifies how entirely broken the sport is and how it’s willing to break athletes. We need a true pro, viable league like @MJGold is trying to build with collective bargaining agreements that protect athletes & garners public interest outside Oly. Yrs

@McKirdyTrained Grandma’s doesnt seem to have the best history with clean athletes in their results.

@fast_women I believe the winner is coached by banned Russian athlete Liliya Shobukhova?

@XcelEnergyCO You guys can go after people for retroactive billing because your shitty ”smart” meters say we didn't pay enough but boy when the table is turned it's a robotic worthless response. People better be getting reimbursed for lost food and employment.

German athlete Sara Benfares ends her career amid investigations into EPO/testosterone doping positives. Her sister Sofia has also tested positive for EPO https://t.co/R6Yw1JGoOI

@karagoucher This represents the exploitation of athlete’s in dire poverty + circumstances. The agents, Dr.s and coaches all need to be held responsible, until then we’re going to see more and more of this. The long term implications on these particular athletes is egregious.

[Kara Goucher @karagoucher]

20 years old. 14:39 5000m. 2021 U20 world champs bronze in 1500m. Testosterone. Don’t tell me a 20 year old went out to get testosterone on her own. Who else should be held accountable?!

[Shannon Kinney @runskinney85]

@trackspice Ashton Eaton - understated but slayed the competition and left on top. Bernard Lagat is another - low mileage but speed for days.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

The grind culture in the workplace = the athlete who brags about how much training they've done, while they underperform

They don't realize that a focus on the grind is preventing them from expressing their actual potential

It's about smart, appropriate hard work. Not mindless.

Price gouging is illegal after a natural disaster to protect the most vulnerable, which is typically low income. But, price gouging food is now relabeled “dynamic pricing” and screws over the most vulnerable. Ah, Merica and its #corporategreed. #wendys

How to decide ur evening

[James Rhodes @James_Athletics]

Katir banned for two years. He signed an admission of fault form and accepted the sanction, so I assume we won't see a appeal.
Won't be in Paris.
Won't be in Tokyo.

Sad and shocking news out of Kenya.

Marathon world record holder Kelvin Kiptum has died at 24 years old after a car accident along the Eldoret-Kaptagat road, according to a report from The Standard newspaper. Multiple journalists in Kenya have also reported the news.

“This was a self-involved accident where one Kelvin Kiptum, the world marathon record holder, was driving his vehicle with two passengers. Kiptum and Hakizimana died on the spot and the third person was rushed to Racecourse Hospital in Eldoret,” Elgeyo Marakwet Police Commander Peter Mulinge told The Nation. The outlet reports his coach Garvais Hakizimana also died in the accident.

Last year, Kiptum broke the marathon world record, running 2:00:35 in Chicago, and was preparing to run the Rotterdam Marathon in April in an attempt to break the two-hour barrier. He was also expected to be named to Kenya’s team for the Paris Olympics.
