CSI: Medblogs.....Sports Agent Changes the Official Story of Alem Techale's Death

Spinning Alem Techale's Death

I've been waiting for someone involved in the death of Alem Techale to catch on that THE BLOGOSPHERE IS WRITING about the implausible story of Alem's demise...

If you are unfamiliar with this story, see my posts here and here and here.

I've been waiting for the guilty shuffling of feet, the stuttering retreats, and garbled contradictions that begin, inevitably, before the illogical medical backtracking begins.

There is a faint shuffle coming from Nijmegen, Holland. Can you hear it?

Nijmegen is the home of Global Sports Communication -- a sports agency --owned by Jos Hermens. GSC represents Kenenisa Bekele and until two weeks ago represented Bekele's fiance, Alem Techale.

Bekele, by the way, is already a huge long-distance running superstar and many people think he has the stuff to become the greatest of all time. Bekele tells people he believes he will run faster in the future (is he prescient?)...

Gebrselassie, with two Olympic gold medals, four world championship wins and 17 world records, is widely considered the greatest distance runner ever, but the murmurings in the athletics community suggest Bekele may become even greater.

Bekele adds fuel to such talk when he says he can still take another two seconds off his 10,000m record.

This may come into play later...but for now, back to the spin...

Version #1: Death in The Chevy

Here is the first iteration of the story of Techale's death:

Tuesday, 1/4/05:

Alem Techale goes on a "routine training run," with Bekele, in "a forest in a hilly area on the outskirts of Addis Ababa."

Techale collapsed.

Bekele carried Techale to his car, but she died before they could get to a hospital.

Wednesday, 1/5/05:

Techale is buried without an autopsy.

It doesn't take anyone too long, after looking at this story, to ask why Alem Techale was buried the next day without a medical examination and autopsy. The first flimsy excuse was that this is not the way things are in Ethiopia -- autopsies are not well-accepted.

But Alem is attached to one of the biggest stars in track and field. And HIS agent was HER agent: Jos Hermens. Wasn't Jos sophisticated enough or smart enough to call up on the phone and say "Whoa--let's find out what the hell happened -- IT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT?

Maybe not.

The Agent Speaks

But Jos is talking, now, from Nijmegen:

" It is difficult to say if it was heart failure or somethingto do with the brain. The Ethiopian doctors who performed the autopsy could find nothing."

HOLD EVERYTHING!

Did he say AUTOPSY? But she didn't have an autopsy...right? I mean she was buried the next day and every source I have -- besides this quote -- says that she did NOT have an autopsy.

But why would Jos say this?

By the way, Jos Hermens FLEW to Ethiopia for the funeral. He was THERE when Alem Techale was buried, so I don't think he's confused. I don't think he's suffereing from jet lag either. So why did he say that?

And he didn't just SAY THAT as an isolated statement (that we or some reporter might be misconstruing)...no...he also tied it in with two diagnoses: heart failure and "something" to do with the brain.

I have news for you. This is no accidental slip of the tongue. And it does not make sense as the truth.

If the doctors HAD dome an autopsy we certainly would know that there was nothing wrong with the brain (Hermens is trying to implicate a ruptured aneurysm) and we would also know if the heart were structurally normal, thus eliminhating several of the most common reasons for sudden death in athletes.

Was This Guy A Kerry Campaigner?

Jos isn't done, yet. He's also about to revise Bekele's story more as in:

At first we thought Alem had died on the way to hospital, but she actually died in the woods while Kenenisa was running to get his car. She passed away before he could get back to her. He took her to hospital but there was nothing he could do. To have your fiancée die in that way is a terrible thing.

Oh, I see. And does this make a difference? I mean the first story was that he picked her up and put her in his car and she died before they got to the hospital. Now Jos wants us to know that he left her -- collapsed in the dirt -- in the hilly forest and then ran to GET his car?

She "passed away" before he could get back to her.

I see.

Ethiopian Autos?

Can I ask the marathoning community something?

Where exactly do you keep your cars while you are marathoning?

Especially in the hilly outskirts of Addis Ababa? I mean are they always close by? Do they FOLLOW you? Are they CLOSE ENOUGH so that you can run and retrieve them in case someone is DYING?

And what kind of car does Mr. Bekele keep so close to his marathon course in the hilly forests of Ethiopia? A Bradley?

This is spin, CBB readers.

I don't know why Mr. Hermens is spinning junk, but I could make a lot of guesses...can't you?

STAY TUNED.............

Of course, there are women for whom sitting astride sex toys which do not resemble a penis, but rather some awkward mechanical devices, is a supplementary reason of stimulation. There is nothing wrong with this preference; realistic vibrators are for the woman who lets her imagination run free while still in the company of the more conventional appearance of the regular penis. In the end, it is all a simple matter of taste. Such realistic vibrators may stimulate successfully the clitoris; others, ranging in the same category of realistic vibrators and made from a combination of plastic and silicone, so as to procure a stable, firm touch, are specifically designed to reach the G-spot and not leave it until it is aroused and sure to have secured its possessor with one of the most penetrating, mind-boggling orgasms.
