The IAAF in their reports just explained away high OFF scores in isolation. They never discussed or even mentioned the prerace OFF scores of 82 and 92. They never mentioned or explained the incredible 33 point increase in 2 days or 18 point increase in 1 day. The most suspicious elements of Paula's blood tests, the rapid and large magnitude changes in OFF scores are completely ignored and are completely absent in the report, which I find to be highly suspicious. The most suspicious elements are OMITTED in the IAAF report! That sure is strange, isn't it?
Then Paula refers to her blood test expert in an article, as the lab director of the Lausanne lab, but never mentions his name. Why not ? His name of course is Dr. Martial Saugy!!! Informed readers would know the history of Dr. Martial Saugy, which includes destroying 67 Russian samples. The fact that Paula has him as her blood test expert is very, very, very suspicious!
And of course nothing before the 2009 ABP actually counts (including Shobukhova's outrageous OFF scores) because there could of possibly been massive lab error/variation to explain Paula's rapid and massive 33 point and 18 point changes. Any blood test result before 2009, according to the IAAF and rekrunner, no matter how outrageous (like Shobukhova's results) simply do not count!!! So that is just too bad for all you Paula doubters!!! Lots of other athletes were tested pre and post race on the same equipment at the same labs on the same days. Where are all of their lab errors? There should be many other athletes with abnormal changes if it was due to lab variation. In fact, if the lab error was this large, hopefully the results would have all been thrown out, and would have never entered the IAAF database, to then be leaked later. But they were entered. Is there massive lab error affecting other athletes or is lab error just affecting Paula again and again?
The IAAF had suspicious blood tests on Shobukhova going back nine years before they did anything. Without a positive EPO test, and no ABP before 2009, it seems there wasn't much they could do or wanted to do. The IAAF
also has suspicious blood test results for Kenyan athletes who have won medals at the Olympics and world championships, but we have not seen any of those so far, or the names on the 200 blood bags of Dr. Fuentes, which includes winners of the London marathon.
To give Paula a small break on all this, at least she has not shown (so far) any evidence of outrageous EPO use with consequent outrageous hemoglobin values of 18 to 21 g/dl, such as some athletes have shown.
While it may be possible to produce outrageous, world class, world record performances with normal hemoglobin values, we know that many outrageous performances were obtained with outrageous hemoglobin values.
Paula could be transparent, and remove all doubts about her outrageous 2:15 and two 2:17 marathon performances, by releasing normal looking pre and post-race hemoglobin values from these races, but she chooses not to so far, so the doubts and suspicion about her will stay for now. What do you think, readers? If you had normal looking scores from your best races, and there were doubts about you, wouldn't you release them? I know I would. I think it adds to suspicions to not release them at this point.
Do you think Paula's hemoglobin values and OFF scores around her outrageous races were normal or outrageous?
