Moses Mosop and agent/Canova part ways-He's shown a "disappointing lack of commitment to his training and professional conduct"

Tell Dr. Rosa "Hi" for us. Keep us updated on how your training magic is working over there, mmmk?

in all this story, my participation is Always the same : to coach Moses directly when I'm in Kenya, or to give him training programmes when I'm in some other place, not depending on the mnagement (I was the coach of Moses under all his managements : DAP (Gianni Demadonna) from 2002 till 2007, Golazo (Marc Costjen) in 2008, DAP again in 2009/10, Global (Jos Hermens) 2011-2013. And, if Moses decides to go back, probably in the future, too.

Thanks for the updates.

+ 1 on the thank you. Hope you and Mr Mosop are able to collaborate again. Meanwhile, best wishes for success in China. Are there any Chinese mid-d / distance runners you're particularly excited about?

Bumping this thread, in light of the week that was. In light of the redefinition of what a Kenyan professionals are expected to do, and the expectations on how to "prepare", should we see Mosop's rejections of "professionalism" as a sign of his integrity? As a sign of his change away from practices that led to 2:03 and something cleaner? As a sign of the frustration with the culture of the sport that has (always been but) now shown to be dirty at every level?

2:10 and later, 2:20 are much more human performances, and fitting the expectation of a natural runner. Has he turned to the darkside again to get to 2:06?

Clerk, maybe I don't understand what you wrote, but I suppose you speak about the possibility of doping in the past for Moses, when you say "has he turned to the darkside again".

I don't know why you have to think about doping for every situation involving top athletes. Moses Always was completely clean, and continues to be clean. Never asked any support, and he is a product of the old Kenyan generation of runners, athletes that till 3 years ago never asked some help, also legal.

Of course, something new happened in the last 4 years, but this doesn't regard athletes starting at the beginning of this Century (with the only ecception, very sad, of Rita Jeptoo, who showed poor personality in her life, while Always had great personality in competition).

Do you know all the personal problems Moses had to face after his WR of 30 km ? Do you think that the results of top athletes depend on their training, or, worse, on their doping, only ? Do you think top runners don't have a private life with all connected problems ? Do you think top runners are not normal persons, and have different sensibility about what happens in their life ?

To look at a Marathon in 2:20 as example of something, when we speak about an athlete able improving a WR, winning silver in WCCCh, bronze in 10000m in WCh on track, and able to run his first Marathon in 2:03, means to have eyes covered with ham, and brain not able to think.

If your comment didn't have this signification, I apologyze for not understanding the mean of what you wrote.

Instead, if your thought was as I supposed, it's better you go to wash your mind.

Good to see you posting again Renato. I hope these trolls with their ridiculous doping accusations do not bother you too much. This is not on the topic of this thread but I was wondering if you could share the training program of Hayle Lemi in the months leading up to the Dubai marathon?

So are Kenyans that much more disciplined and train that much harder than everyone else (non NE Africans), explaining their dominating success? Or are they just more talented?

Renato is the ONLY person associate with track and field on any higher level to claim with 100% CERTAINTY that certain athletes he has associated with are "100% clean". He does this again and again. This either makes him the most uniquely insightful genius in the history of sport, a disingenuous liar, or a fool.

I think recent events have shown that these doping accusations are not ridiculous.

Well, obviously he can't be 100% sure an athlete is "100% clean" or "Moses Always was completely clean", as he said in his post. Perhaps he should preface it with 'I believe', don't forget English isn't his first language.
