https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLAJF8r3DIQWho actually wants to watch this expat loser cry over successful runners?
If he did say this, these very strong words have some weight. He's an established elite runner who competed against Lagat and if he feels this strongly about Lagat's dishonesty/cheating, that means something.
Everything Torrence said is well known. Is this not common knowledge? Are people not familiar with thus story?
9:40 has come and gone.
i think bits and pieces are in the aether but i've never heard a story

He definitely said all of this. Torrence is the new doping expert I guess.

He also said Lopez Lomong wasn't dedicated to training and it cost him here.
Respect to Torrence for having the sack to speak his mind, unlike the many other athletes who know they are competing against juicers and don't utter a word.
It starts at 42:25 of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLAJF8r3DIQ
Okay got it

And "Commentary from Pros" hahah
why weren't these "pros" IN THE RACE?
Sounds like sour grapes.
Nice work, Torrence. Much respect.
Dropping truth bombs!

No, dropping bitter pill bombs on himself. Can't compete so blames others and decides to "steal a place" in the Olympics from a Peruvian.

Torrence: Thats... Thats so shocking. I…. World Class. (Pauses)
Yeah. Experience… a lot, a lot of help from sources you know. Thats uh.
Arciniaga: Why would they show Ben True’s wife like that?
Torrence: Yeah thats pretty sad.
YOU KNOW WHAT, I’M GONNA SAY IT THIS IS BULL$H!T MAN.
Like Lagat positive A sample you know what I mean. I swear to God. This is BS.
It happened in 2012. He had this CRAZY crazy change in fitness and… This is what happens!
Like Ben True, his family, his wife, heartbroken. Heartbroken out there. As a result of someone of very very questionable, very questionable means.
Umm. We know in the 90s and early 2000s, we’ve seen the results, emails, $hit was getting covered up. They even covered up the bribes being paid, I heard from multiple sources, multiple rumors that things may have happened.
The “Clean B Sample†may have been suspect. And… (Shakes head) its just so frustrating to me because Lagat is… has a smile on his face. Nicest guy in track and field. But Justin Gatlin is a nice guy. You know what I mean?
Marion Jones super nice. Uhhh. Thats how you cover it up you know? You have to bring your kids out there. Bring your family out there. And I.. I just can’t help myself.
Torrence raises valid points. I don't blame him for running with Peru though. US trials are a joke.
I do... what a joke. He can't even mix it up with our team so he takes the easy way? That's a joke.

Yea, why wasn't Nick Arciniaga mixing it up in the 5K? Clearly just a bitter hobby jogger
Speaking his truth likely just for him blacklisted from a lot of start lists before and after the games.
How come every is accusatory to Lagat but the our Olympic marathon team has another 40-YO who set a PR in his late, late 30s and everyone worships Meb.
