That Amos was actually 18 when he ran that 1:41 same thing with Kaki. They were most likely 5 years older than they claim. Still fast but running fast times at "18" will get you more money from Nike than at 25. You really think Gebrehewet was 18 when he ran his fast time? Or that Kujelcha is 18/19?
Don't mean to be rude, but I tried to tell you. Donavan Brazier just ran 1:46.1 for 3rd in the SEC as a true freshman. I'd say he's doing just fine.

Brazier is well past his peak. He did a ton of speed work before that ridiculous 145.9 indoor race he had. Major talent. He'll be back.
Looks like you are wrong. He just ran 1:46.1 in the SEC final.

Yes, he qualified easily on time but the fact that he's only a time qualifier means I think it's safe to say he won't be a factor at NCAAs this year. Where did it go all wrong?
I bet you feel like an idiot now a year later
ok. so what wrote:
get over it. 1:45-46 kids his age in africa are a dime a dozen....
Here's the list for this year:
https://www.iaaf.org/records/toplists/middlelong/800-metres/outdoor/men/senior/2017Only 4 Kenyans even claim to be teenagers with a 1:45 800m this year.
Actually the US has more sub-1:46 guys for 2017 than Kenya.
In 2016 there were also only 4 Kenyan teenagers sub-1:46. (claimed to be teenagers)

Yeah David Rudisha is an age cheat too, even though he's an adult.
If he wasn't an age cheat, then some old white fat guy American would be faster.
They'll call Rudisha an age cheat even if the very first moment Bro Colm saw set eyes on him is documented in that BBC documentary.
Question: Where do you lot think all the Kenyan teens are? Because they must, at least, exist, right?
1:46-47 is by no means shabby for a freshman. OP's claims/predictions do not make any sense.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
