about the biological passport

 

since the Athlete Biological Passport program started in 2012, Kenya has had 41 athletes banned for doping or found to have been involved in doping-related cases with Russia leading at 87 while India is second with 42 cases.

Morocco is fourth with 30 cheats. The United States has 17 while Ethiopia has 12 cheating athletes.

 

Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, Belarus and Ukraine were named as problem countries and put under category A because their athletes are at high risk to engage in doping.

 

Kenya is the third country after Russia and India with the largest pool of athletes banned for doping from international competition, according to latest report by Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU).

Wonder why, given this, there's no need for Kenyan athletes to compete under authorization and a neutral flag.

I don't think Russia competing under authorization and a neutral flag is only about the number of doping cases....I'm sure the same will happen to Kenya when widespread state involvement in doping is proven.

Well, negligence is also a form of cover up, and that must account for at least, an investigation against Kenya's athletic federation and doping authority.

Absolutely agreed, I'm just saying I can see there's a major difference between the cases  Kenya is doing a terrible job, but a state-sponsored doping program is cheating on an entirely different level.

Mehdi Sorabi is a recent one. And that's the end of Iranian cycling  

 

the Iranian cycling was dead for a long time. there used to be several tours each year in Iran. I think there is none now. we used to have several Iranian continental teams in Asia tour. how many left ? none. I don't even follow Cycling news that much anymore.

 

no need to say Sohrabi claims he is innocent, (never had anybody here accepting his guilt in doping cases) he hold a press conference brought million pages of "evidences" to prove his case. but his career is pretty much done, even without this doping story he was done anyway.

Yeah, Iranian cycling was sort of a collective 'cult hero' in the Netherlands, mostly with that one team (Tahbriz? Tariz? Something like it and with 'petrochemical' or something, I'm sure you know  ) winning in Pro Cycling Manager style several times (sending half the team in the breakaway and destroying everyone)

Tabriz is a city lol yes. that team was Petrochimi Tabriz, for whatever reason they translated their name in English to "Tabriz Petrochemical"

 

yeah they used to have all of remaining good cyclists in Asia (outside of Kazakh cyclists in UCI Pro tour) and Asia tour was piece of cake for them.
