He went on to be a World Champion and put in 13 more years of world class running and made Olympic finals in 5 Olympiads.
And, 13 his samples, after the bogus A test, have been retested plus and additional 8 years the latest samples can be retested. That is an astonishing 21 years of test scrutiny. A long enough period --as other have noted-- to see outlast sample collectors, testers, testing labs, and ant-doping drug administrators.
I will wait until his "B" sample comes up positive before I jump to any conclusions. I have also always liked Bernard and hope that there is just some sort of misunderstanding.
It was a misunderstanding. How are you doing now?
Hundreds of doping busts later, including the only guy to get anywhere near Lagat's time in the 20 years since, and we are a bit more cynical, especially over freak 'natural born runner' Kenyan performances.

But we are NOT cynical of white Norwegian superheroes like Jakob who came oh so close to matching Lagat's and El G's unprecedented 1500- 5K doubles at a global championship, and who ran a 5K faster than both of them without even focusing on the event! AND ... who has a faster Olympic 1500 m time then either of them that is nearly as fast as El G's World Championship record. All at a very young age!
He beats all the present "African dopers" [ which is pretty much all African Runners according to you] and virtually all of the past African dopers but.... he is clean!! It's a miracle!
Oh my bad it's just hard training and the magic secret of " double threshold". ✨️. Lol.
[ and let's not forget his countrymen Warholm defeating all the black American sprinting dopers too. Does he train double threshold also? 😆]
In ways it was the worst possible thing was for some of these white Runners to come along and beat all the africans/black runners cuz now you have to make a choice of believing these white runners are clean OR taking back your accusations that nearly all past and present super African Runners were doped. But I know you choose option C: you want your cake and to eat it too and therefore you say nearly all the Africans/black runners are doped but the white Norwegians beat them anyway even while clean!
And of course a clean Sebastian Coe is still faster than almost every single African 800m whoever lived, who according to you were probably all doped. Amazing]
