Where are you getting "all of a sudden"? Jakob has been a prodigy since youth. He ran an 8k race at 10 years old well under 6 minute pace. He's run sub-4 at 16. He's done 27:54 10k at 19. The progression has been there.
Are you telling me he's been doping since age 10? GTFO.
You are right. Norway has been doping Nordic skiers since before the 94 Lillehammer Olympics. There is no all of a sudden. It is just more recent that they started going to town in Track and Triathlon.
Jakob was clearly a youth prodigy. That doesn't mean that he hasn't doped to go from child prodigy to the best that has ever been at the 3000.
