Third Kenyan runner in 10 days fails doping test

Great to see that the dopers are being caught!

A doping thread started by Coevett means only one thing, Exrunner has already posted ten times in two pages anonymously.

At least in Kenya. ?

So true.

Rekunner set the pre-90s clean marathon best at 2:07 (EPO-footprint analysis), and Kalalei's PB is only 2:10. So, rekrunner will say that EPO's effectiveness for a marathon runner is a "logical fallacy" since Kalalei hasn't ran faster than 2:07.

And forgot the fact the Kalalei won the Athens marathon last year in a 1 through 5 Kenyan sweep. Probably nothing to see there from rekrunner's perspective either. Lol.

he is menally weak, would have run 2:05 without EPO.

Kalalei set his PB of 2:10:44 at Rotterdam this past April two months before his EPO positive. ?

You hater vermin should be applauding the strength of the kenyan anti doping unit. IAAF will surely be proud with our progress.. In other news, Kenya topped the medal table in the Africa Championships, after topping the IAAF under 20. This bodes well for 2019 Doha and Tokyo 2020.

People are still sleeping in the UK. Also, rekrunner will say both of that, so no need for Jon Orange.

Then he'll come up with a scenario as to why this guy too may be inncocent, like Kiprop.

I thought that was Ghost1's line?

Ghost would have focused on Kiprop"s elegance and slenderness.

Me thinks it's time the IAAF set up an account in which prize money is held for a minimum of ? years before being paid out, get caught in the meantime for doping and there's forfeiture of money and a life time ban with the money going to the person who finished behind them. No guarantee that the person finishing behind them is drug free (especially when they're Kenyan/Ethio/Russsian/etc) but what can you do, you can only go with the test results.

ALL KENYANS ARE DIRTY!!!

2:10.44 is elite. He won a marathon. Also, made podiums in other European Marathons (and and surely made good money by Kenyan standards). And he ran 4 times in 2:12 or less, with a 2:16 in altitude (Iten Marathon) with 20 years old, so you could say that sub 2:08 was a matter of time before the positive.

After all, Galen Rupp medaled in Rio Olympics with 2:10 as his PB.

Just further proof that Rupp is also dirty.

I wonder what kind of damage control we can expect from Canova? That Kalalei wasn't training properly at altitude and didn't need to dope? That he was lazy for several months, got out of shape and used EPO to bring himself back to his previous level? Or that this is no big deal because hundreds of Kenyan boys run 2:10? Frankly, I love Canova's damage control he does for these Kenyan dopers - it's quite entertaining. ?

Canova originally said Kenyans don't dope at all then changed his story to say the top ones don't dope and can't benefit from it once a bunch of Kenyans were finally tested (and caught) doping. Then when the top Kenyans started getting busted for doping he twisted his story once again. Let's face it, Canova is a criminal mind (as are other agents such as Rosa) and is driven by greed. Doping Kenyans equals more money in his pocket and he doesn't give a damn.

What do we know about Kalalei? Is he an up & coming marathoner? Who is his coach? Does he have any sponsorship? How much dough does this guy make annually running the circuit?

Was this an OOC test? (no bribes and controversy like in Kiprop's case?).

Anyone have a link to his IAAF profile?

I never said the pre-90s times were clean.
