Where are all those Kenyans going???
…and herein lies the #1 reason why the east Africans are world beaters at track & distance road racing. Sure, genetics, altitude, socioeconomics, even doping all play a role, but these videos illustrate the driving force behind their success...

Exactly what I was thinking. This is the kind of reception Americans reserve for NFL, MBL, and NBA champions. If we elevated our T&F athletes to this status, we would have much more success than we currently do.

So Ezekiel Kemboi's back in Kenya, does this mean he's decided to end his season? Was hoping to see him in Brussels at least.

That said, he might be too tired for the race.

Another video. Deputy President William Ruto says they'll throw the book at doctors involved in doping in addition to having their licences yanked.
