Former d1 hack...
How are you so certain that kip doped?
-the IAAF,IOC,Wada, are as corrupt as heck... for all we know they shortened the damn Berlin Marathon to break records ....or destroyed blood tests after the race we don't know …we'll never know.
We will never be certain that any results out there.... or ever will be done clean.....apparently we can't have idols or dreams? get a grip ....the world is not perfect…Sport is not perfect never has been and never will be.
If we look at every event and every athlete with so much negative attention and criticism what's the point of any of this?
This event has been as much fun if Hoka got all their guys together and try to run to 2:14?
Obviously there's no way to guarantee that anything we ever see is perfect get over it …that was an amazing effort find amazing man and amazing team …cooler than you or I will ever do …or be part of.
Nike took a big gamble and so did Kip.... there's a time and a place to be a skeptic and there's a time and a place to be a fan.
Our sport and All-sports and life are riddled with all sorts of problems, but if we only focus on the crap like she wrote in the wsj' there won't be much ever to watch or celebrate.
Again I challenge all of the critics to head out to the track and run 1 mile at 4:35 please repeat that two times or even three times but you find me a group of people who can repeat that 15 to 20 times I'll actually listen to their skepticism and cynicism. I won't criticize something that I can't do and never will do and can't even do for the better part of 5k.
