Today, at the 5k semi-final where the two Ethiopians came in first and second, the American, Gallen Rupp, who finished second at the 10k clearly struggled finishing sixth and barely making the cut for Saturday. The fact that Mohammed “Mo” Farahh and Rupp came in one-two and very strong is questionable. They both were coached and trained at the same Oregon facilities by the same people. Did they dope either knowingly or not knowingly. To understand how pervasive doping is in high competitive sport follow the allegation against pro cyclist Lance Armstrong. It is the only way you can win at the tours. It has been going on for decades with so many stripped of thier titles. The drugs are very hard to detect. The Ethiopians and Kenyans might have been cheated out of victories in long didtances here at the Olympics and elsewhere.

Trunesh will once again triumph as a gold medalist and Ethiopians will be proud of her.
As to Tejitu and Shitaye, they may run for some Arab country, but the world still knows they are Ethiopians. There will be many distictly Ethiopian faces in the track but the medal will stay in Ethiopian hands.
Enjoy it!

Because of Woyyane junta’s, our athlets run away to Arab countrys. Our peopel are not free and excercise their professional duties. For example, Brahane Adare exited from the club and started running privatly. Look at kenyans. They sen many of there runers to develop expriance. Till Woyane leave the country, no way we grow up. The big obstacle has already gone.Now the uestion is who is nex?

100 % the gold belongs to Meseret Defar. If not Meseret, then it will be Tirunesh. God & Silver for Ethiopia!!

Good luck girls!

The sad reality is that Woyane/TPLF cadres are controlling our atheletes – it is indeed very sad to see Woyane thugs running the show – deciding on the fate of World Class Atheletes such as Tirunesh and Kenenisa.

Hope to hear from our athletic heroes one day who did what in sucking up to Woyane/TPLF criminals.
