US B team over Kenyan E team
You mean the Kenya Epo team. That's how they have been doing it, but it's catching up to them now, back to the jungle.

I thought Ben True was from Vermont.
Grew up in Maine, lives/trains in Hanover NH on the VT border.

My boy Japheth Korir did not let me down! I am very proud of him!!!
Junior girls winner and senior girls winner comes from same region as Korir.
Wow!
I am so happy for Korir. He ran from the front like a warrior.
....and he looks quite young.
I'm so proud. american doping has now caught up with the rest of the world.

You are funny.
If this was the US B team, Kenya sent their D team.
Nope. Ran and skied for Greeley High School in Maine. Now trains in New Hampshire with Tim Broe.
forget Ritz -- let's talk about the guys who showed up! Mack seemed to come in right after Derrick. Nice performances and this will only encourage guys to go out near the front and run confident.
The race is still finishing

as for Ritz - he might be the single reason why the USA didn't win gold this afternoon.
Yes but he has a very important 8k road race coming up. Might win his age group!

Two weeks ago Japhet Korir was waiting for a bus to Eldoret as he was dropped from the team. He was called back and now he is the WXC Champ

Damn Ritz & Teg, but don't let Rupp off the hook so easy.[/quote]
This course was far from Rupp-certified.
It would have been interesting to see what Salazar would have done had Rupp been on the team and then they saw the course conditions.

Imagine what would have happened if the top Kenyans and Ethiopians commmited to come? Great job by Americans, but this was a weak, weak Kenyan team.

I don't know what all the excitement is about.
We left several guys who could have a real shot at a medal.

Nice try. Not Kenya's best, neither was it the US team's. we were missing our whole 10k team and so were they. True and Derick best guys like Lelisa. They ran great, (possibly) better than Kenya.
Did Cram just say a minute ago that the East African nations don't have out-of-competition drug testing?!? And that they are just now introducing it through the biological passport? WTF!!
WADA, IAAF, and all the rest of these organizations are a joke.
Old school US team. I expected to see Billy Rodgers in a ratty sweat shirt. Great job guys!

Classic Athletics Kenya idiocy.
When they get anything right, they take all the credit. When they screw up massively like with the London 10,000 selection, they blame the athletes.
Not sure how they'll spin this one in the Daily Nation.
1 Ethiopia - 38
2 United States - 52
3 Kenya - 54

More evidence of Kenya needing to stop those damn camps.
