It would be hilarious if, given his win in Boston, Yuki faced increased scrutiny and, as a consequence, his doping ways were finally discovered.
It's time to bring Yuki down a few notches, just like we do every other person who achieves any kind of success.
If Yuki doped, he would not have come in SECOND in this half while dressed as a panda bear.

Rupp has an Olympic silver but Kawauchi has the record for the half-marathon in a three-piece suit.
