Hilarious video at article by the Guardian for those who understand Swahili. The crowd is absolutely not buying it and in typical Kenyan fashion questioning everything including his shoes.
Plus two women tried to claim first place last year as "part of a scam"?
It's a good thing that PEDs don't work on Kenyans and are not available, otherwise they would be cheating like crazy.

Hahahaha! You can see when he has his big "oh sh**" moment as he realises he's been caught. My fave part was when they started mocking his shoes.
"Wewe unakimbia na hizi viatu? 'Hizi training shoes?"
Essentially: 'Are you kidding us with these shoes?'
He was busted by Boston champ and race director Ibrahim Hussein who can be seen in this video calling Njogu "an imposter".

Interesting how the world media is calling Julius Njogu a "Kenyan athlete" when he's just a random villager from Naivasha who thought he would get an easy pay day. Had no clue about tracking chips or check points and thought, this was like his school cross country where they only take names at the finish.

It is possible that this guy is a boda boda operator in Naivasha who has never run in his life (other than the mandatory school cross country that we all participated in).
I hop e they charge this guy.
Much kudos to Ibrahim .
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
