http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/04/sports/marathon-doping-investigation.html Mr. Baranov is pictured at a Japanese race in the lead photo in the above article. For years JRN has covered his presence in Japan , where his athletes of Russian and other Eastern European nationality have long dominated the elite women's marathon circuit only for many to have their performances annulled for doping and biological passport violations . One can only hope that Japan opens a similar investigation into these performances, Baranov and his Japanese business and business collaborators .
