I just called my bookie (without telling him the title of this thread) and this is what he said:

Someone doesn’t understand how books and odds percentages work. I get it, math is hard.
The 'Titan' meaning is different to U.S. fans compared to European fans. For example, Mondo, Vetter and Keeley are titans in Europe but not so much in the U.S.
That's what I initially thought, but sometimes the best PR move is to go on like it's all good and fight the narrative. Time will tell. The Kipchoge rumor may be less than nothing, and this thread may be a total troll job.
The only names that would be really shocking on a global level: Jakob, McLaughlin-Levrone, Warholm, Lyles, Kipchoge, Hassan, Mu, and Wightman.
There's others who would be a little bit of a surprise but they would be more of a local shock, like Muir or Hodgkinson in Europe, Fisher in the US, or Kosgei and Kipyegon in Kenya. We'd be interested in this second group on LRC, but there wouldn't be much global publicity for them.

So the current WR holder in the 5000/10000 wouldnt be shocking if he were popped?
Wightman trains in the US and im not sure he'd be recognized at his local Whole Foods save his accent
