Ihr zwischen den Zeilen zu unterstellen, sie würde dabei in eigenem Interesse reden, geht völlig an ihrem Intellekt vorbei.
Dem mag ich aus verschiedene Gründen nicht zustimmen
Sie selbst hat sich früher genau gegenteilig geäußert und für die Veröffentlichung von Blutwerten ausgesprochen
Zitat:[...] including two blood tests.Quelle
[...]
One of the blood tests was conducted at the Flora London Marathon, and Radcliffe, [...] has put in a request to UK Sport to publicise the details. "I have absolutely no objection to my test being released," she said. "I would like to know it myself."
Im ersten Sunday Times Artikel zu der Blutdatenbank vom 02.08. war die Rede von einem britischen Top-Athleten mit den höchsten abnormalen Werten aller britischen Athleten
Zitat:A top British athlete looked shaken last weekend when The Sunday Times showed them the list of their own results in the blood-doping data.Quelle
The scores were highly unusual for an elite athlete, according to one of the most extensive studies of blood values ever undertaken.
The athlete firmly states that they “never cheated” and supports calls for more money to be spent on stamping out blood-doping.
[...]
On three occasions during their career the athlete’s test results were so “abnormal” that there was only a one in a thousand chance that they were natural.
und weiter
Zitat:Referring to Lance Armstrong's libel action against the Sunday Times following suggestions he doped during his Tour de France victories, which he later admitted and then had to repay the paper, the athlete added: “You print it and I sue you [and] you won’t be getting any money back in future like Lance Armstrong — I promise you that.”Quelle
The Sunday Times lays out the case against the athlete:
[...]
" "The blood-doping files contain the results of nearly 500 tests on British team members over 11 years. Of all of them, the athlete has the highest score above the abnormal threshold.""
The athlete says their results were elevated due to dehydration after winning a race in hot temperatures.
The paper adds: "A second high test several years later did spark an investigation by the IAAF. The British athlete said that 12 experts from the IAAF had viewed the data on these tests and 11 had concluded that the results were consistent with an athlete training at altitude."
Seit dem 02.08. hat die britische Presse mit keiner Zeile mehr den verdächtigen Top-Athleten erwähnt.
Ich hatte weiter oben schonmal auf die "super injunction" hingewiesen.
Verschiedene weitere Äußerungen im Internet (unter anderem von Paul Kimmage, den man als irisches Pendant zu Hajo Seppelt bezeichnen kann) weisen ziemlich unzweideutig darauf hin, dass es sich bei der Athletin um Paula Radcliffe handelt und dass sie die weitere Berichterstattung mittels einer super injunction verhindert hat.
Unter Berücksichtigung dieser Indizien unterstelle ich, dass sie mit dem neuesten Interview sehr wohl im eigenen Interesse handelt.
Das heißt übrigens nicht, dass ich denke, sie sei gedopt gewesen. Obigem Zitat kann man entnehmen, dass sie ein Expertengremium von einer natürlichen Ursache für ihre erhöhten Blutwerte überzeugen konnte. Ich hätte allerdings nach 20 Jahren, in denen sich Paula Radcliffe immer wieder an vorderster Front als Anti-Doping-Kämpferin positioniert und für mehr Transparenz ausgesprochen hat, eine andere Reaktion erwartet. Robert Johnson von letsrun.com hat das ganz gut formuliert

Let's say these were weldon's values. Weldon's a known anti doping leader who made massive improvements. He was clean.
If I were him and my values were suspicious, and I was clean, i wouldn't care. I'd still want them out there. I'd say, "Release them. The science must not be right. Let's get some really smart people - David Epstein, Ross Tucker , etc- and have them figure out how these values could be viewed as suspicious. What's wrong with the science here? Maybe i'm a genetic freak. Let's get to the bottom of this. I've always 100% believed in transparency and leading the anti doping fight and I'm not going to change now."
Yes, the morons who don't follow science would call you a doper right now (but they are doing that anyway) but if the scientists get to the bottom of it, you'd be vindicated (if you are clean). I wish this was the path she'd taken.
