DOPING: Top running coach Aden arrested

Tuesday, June 21 2016 by SNTV
  • Top middle-distance running coach Jama Aden was arrested in Sabadell, Spain on Monday (20th June) with police finding traces of EPO and other banned substances in the anti-doping raid.

    Top middle-distance running coach Jama Aden has been arrested in Spain on doping charges following an IAAF investigation.

    Police raided Aden's hotel room in Sabadell near Barcelona, and found traces of EPO and other banned substances on Monday.

    The IAAF also tested 30 athletes who were guests at the hotel where the coach has established annual training camps since 2013.

    Adan currently coaches world 1500m champion Genzebe Dibaba, African 1500m champion Ayanleh Souleiman and a host of other middle and long-distance runners.

    British athlete Mo Farah has previously trained with Adam, who was described as an "unofficial facilitator" by British Athletics last year.

    Aden was arrested alongside one of his trainers, with both men expected to face prosecution within 72 hours.
