The drug testers are starting to try and corner them back in Iten now in their training camps. Brother Colm isn’t happy about it at all
Surely EPO wouldn’t help you over a short distance like 10k
Helps over any distance wouldn’t it?
I don’t know, would have thought the stuff Kimmage spoke about in his book in the city centre races that they fired into themselves would work for a 10k
And she’s off @TheUlteriorMotive - big move getting the hair cut too. 60m Irish record just lowered again
Wow. That’s amazing from a 400m runner.
Turns out she’s lowered the 200m one too which I haven’t uncovered yet

Amazing. I was worried she might fall off post Texas but she’s only gone and got better.
Edric Floreal is still training her but she doesn’t have to run in the NCAA’s. I doubt we’ll see her in Glasgow.
Helps you to train quicker recovery etc
It’s the quality of the training when using EPO not just the race. 10k is a long race it’s not a sprint where a few amphetamines have you buzzing.
Sarah Healy has smashed Mary Cullen’s indoor 3000m national record by 8 seconds earlier today.
Rhasidat ran 51.12 winning in Albuquerque. You think that sounds good until you see Femke Bol ran sub 50 in Metz having run low 22s in a 200m on the same card.
I’m gonna be unpopular saying this but her improvement over a single winter is very suspicious. I hope I’m wrong but its just too much given where she was last summer
so what are we putting this improvement down to? super shoes? improved diet? training at altitude?
Exceptional
Performance
Objectives
Sorry pal but she’s a UCD alum, so you’ll need to wind in your nose
Yeah, the UCD and Southside status is central to my motives
Ah she always had great potential. Won double gold in European junior medals easily. Has finally moved away from her childhood coach to England. I think you could make a good case for the improvements
I don’t think she’s in the same stratosphere as Mageean. Sophie beat her easily last July in a race Healy should have dominated. She won the Irish Championships by dictating things but it was still slow. I just think the improvement over a single winter is beyond normal. I hope I’m wrong but something doesn’t add up in my mind
