She has a point as the number of top pros who have spiraled out of control from Wanjiru,  to Kiprop to Rudisha to Bungei is quite high.

The Rosas have suspended everyone in their women's marathon group (Olympic, Tokyo and Paris champs). They say they are fighting the scourge of doping in Kenya and before Sumgong's bust had started blood testing their own athletes, and kicked two out for suspicious values.

LetsRun.com was at Olympic marathon champion Jemima Sumgong's training camp in Kenya a couple weeks before her positive "A" sample doping test was announced.

“The information contained in the notification and also carried in the press, if true, is extremely shocking and disappointing not only to Athletics Kenya but to the entire Nation of Kenya."

We break down what this means for the sport, for her training group, her husband/coach, and for Kenya.

Sumgong was caught in an out-of-competition test in Kenya as part of the enhanced testing program supported by the Abbott World Marathon Majors. *Discuss
*MB: The emperor has no clothes: Jemima Sumgong has tested positive for EPO!!!

World Half champ Peres Jepchirchir is also in the field while the men are lead by London Marathon runner-up Stanley Biwott, World XC silver medalist Bedan Karoki, Augustine Choge and Solomon Yego (58:44).

The field is stacked as usual with 7 women who have ran under 2:21 and also includes Chicago champion Florence Kiplagat, Berlin winner Aberu Kebede and and former London winners Tigist Tufa (2015) and Aselefech Mergia (2010). Team USA will get some representation from Laura Thweatt and Kellyn Taylor.

Sumgong, like Eliud Kipchoge, was the unquestioned world #1 in 2016. Flanagan was one of three Americans to finish in the top 10 at the Olympics (Amy Cragg and Desi Linden were the others) -- only the second time a country had pulled off that feat (after Kenya in 2008).

Shalane Flanagan has set an American record during her buildup. Desi Linden says she's never been in better shape. And Amy Cragg won the Trials. Do they have a shot at a medal?

Sumgong crushed Aliphine Tuliamuk (32:14) by 47 seconds. Brianne Nelson (33:02) and Desi Linden (33:17) were 5th and 6th.

Desi Linden faces London Marathon champion Jemima Sumgong, recent US citizen Aliphine Tuliamuk-Bolton and Diane Nukuri.

Good news, Galen Rupp and US women's marathon fans - it just got a lot easier to medal in Rio as Athletics Kenya picked a 2:24 woman and a man who is about to celebrate the 2-year anniversary of his last sub-2:10 clocking (May 25th) to the Olympic team. Stars like Edna Kiplagat and Mary Keitany will be sitting at home. Updated with new stats for Dickson Chumba and Bernard Kipyego and the fact that Wilson Kipsang didn't want to go to Rio.

Evan Jager at the Paris DL meet last year makes their list.
