    Bit of a power struggle going on in Ethiopia...apparantly 5000m and 10000m double Olympic champions Kenenisa Bekele and Tirunesh Dibaba, among others, have been suspended for not reporting to training.

    Story is on letsrun.com

    Almost certainly somebody looking to get paid here I guess.

    No chance of them keeping these guys suspended.

    I read this elsewhere and thought it was going to be the drugs bust to beat all drug busts. A little disappointed to be honest.

    So what is it that they didn't do?

    Must be something pretty daft ... or it's hopefully something pretty daft.

    They ignored a mandatory training camp organised by the Ethiopan Federation to assess fitness levels of athletes hoping to compete in London...It will be lifted as soon as they turn up for the next one.
