        Definitely watch the whole Jenkins video provided in thread. Very illuminating, regarding his achilles issue and insight as to how driven everyone in the Alberto camp is.

        He states that he does most of his training alone and every top elite knows that training alone will not lead to great improvements.

        Absolutely. They should be up instantly. I've been at some high school XC Meets with live results (and it wasn't Leone Timing).

        Not really. Even though the Africans enjoy unfettered drug use off season and out of competition, in many cases they will still sit and kick knowing the huge advantage their supplementation affords them, especially at distances over 2k.

        Wrong.

        At Seoul in 1988 John Ngugi established himself as one of history's greatest distance runners when he raced to the Olympic 5,000 metres title. Now the Kenyan is almost a pauper, haunted by a doping ban imposed on him in 1993 and hunted by people he said were "out to finish me".

        He was gearing up to chase a record sixth world cross-country title when there was a knock on the door of his home in Nyahururu in the Rift Valley.

        It was John Whetton, a British tester from the international governing body, but Ngugi claimed because he was a stranger and did not know anything about the appointment he refused. He was banned for four years.
