Can the "Kenyans have special genetic gifts" excuse please die? Please?
Not mutually exclusive.
Yeah, it's time to call the Kenyans out. Everyone has fallen all over themselves coming up with reason as to why they are so dominate (just like the stories about LA in cycling). But the reason is that they are taking drugs others are not.
While they are very blessed runners, others are talented too. But when you have two Ferraris but one is burning rocket fuel it's no contest.
Rebate Canova needs to be held accountable. He's taking advantage and lying regarding cheating athletes. I said long ago and now all is coming out, may track be cleaner.
Furore made? !? Is that a masking agent? Sheez
The sad thing is that most of these Kenyan Men can most likely run a 2;07-2:08 Marathon clean. But with the PEDs we are seeing way too many 2:03-2:05 Marathons from in many cases unknown runners. I have never believed in these times, especially seeing how these runners look right after the race, like they did a stroll in the park......
I meant furosemide. Why the heck are they taking that???

Which, of course, allows American marathon times to be the world leaders. Kenyans can only run 2:07, but a white American can run 2:06 (Hall).

It's a diuretic i.e. masking agent. It's hard for me to think of any other reason for a healthy athlete to take it.

dozens of 2:03-2:04 athletes all of a sudden in the past few years just did not smell right.
40 down, 687 to go.
The discussion is about Kenyans runners here, there is no way all of those 2:03-2:05 times are clean.
Regarding Hall, who can say. The problem is that there are so many liars and cheaters out there that you cannot believe anyone any longer which is sad indeed.
this.
