Bezabeh - a dark secret

According to this report Alemayehu Bezabeh was ‘shocked’ he wasn’t allowed to blood dope. Really? In 2010 can this be so? Can this really be the case, that an experienced, high-profile and successful international athlete, from a leading global athletics federation, is ignorant to the fact that this is cheating?!

Maybe, and after all, in these situations there is always a svengali pulling the strings in some dark corner. Whatever transpires, it is the sport of running that ultimately loses out, oh and the likes of Mo Farah, who having been beaten by a doper must now surely be awarded the gold medal for the 2009 Euro Cross runner-up spot that he took behind Bezabeh…
