So Rojo and the others waxing lyrical over a 15 year old kid who is very likely being doped by his handlers, as further proof that anybody who denies East African super natural talent is an idiot?
Meanwhile it doesn't concern Rojo that his moderators deleted a thread recently highlighting a BBC article on Kenyan doping?
So a Kenyan 1500m runner mysteriously pulled out of Budapest yesterday with no explanation, a Kenyan junior champ was pulled out of the Commonwealth Games last year because of doping, three African world junior 800m gold medalists have been suspended for doping, and two of the best three Kenyan 1500m runners of the last decade have been suspended for doping, yet this 15 year old kid running 3:38 in his first ever race is perfectly natural, and no more likely to be doping than Laros or Myers? Jeez, I wonder what he'll be running at age 20 when he starts eating the Ugali?
That's obviously not true. Why would he be representing Kenya at the Commonwealth Youth games if it's his first time ever stepping on a track?
Being generous, maybe he had run a lot of good 800s or 5000s and they thought to try him in a down distance.
A quick bit of digging shows that he was the silver medalist at the African Youth T&F Championships in the 3000m in May.
He also presumably ran in the African Youth T&F Trials in April. He would also have raced in the Youth Commonwealth Trials on July 7th. I can't find results for either of these.
A journalist would have done that, thread wasn't started by one.

Yeah...seems implausible. The winner just turned 17, which is somewhat more believable. Anyhow, I'd imagine if the ages are anywhere near the real deal the determining factor will be if they make big jumps next year or in 2025. Right now, they're not particularly close to cracking a Kenyan squad.
Yeah, apparently African time, they still use the Sun, moon and stars. Don't give a Gregorian about calendars, those fellas. In fact I went there on a motorbike ride for three months, but came back before I left. True story

He is pure East African God like talent, you can see it in his form and the gazelle like stride. Look at his smooth legs! The frightening thing is he probably thought it was a 5000m race, as that is all he had raced before. I wouldn't be surprised if he runs 3:32 next time now he knows it is 3 and 3/4 laps. The talent scouts probably picked him out of some remote jungle village and he still doesn't have any concept of time.
Yeah I find it interesting how the title of the article is “Obey your coach, always.” Makes me wonder if the message to always obey your coach means to take whatever pills or injections he gives you.

If you does not has proof then does not make claims.
I "does" have that. They have had more doping violations in the last couple of years than lemmings falling over a cliff. Yet those caught will be only a fraction of those doping. Kenyan running is a disgrace to the sport.
Haters will never lack envy. They'll never lack negative criticism. They'll never lack anything meaningful to say. Not every athlete who wins is dirty!
Otherwise, carry on with your dark heart Mr. Clean. The winners are unfazed with your unsubstantiated doping allegations....
Is there no possibility that someone could be suspicious about a runner without being hateful?

Fun fact - at the 2014, 2016, 2018 World U20 World Championships there were eleven Kenyan male winners.
Five of them have now been busted.
2014 Alfred Kipketer (800m)
2016 Rodgers Kwemoi (10000m)
2016 Kumari Taki (1500m)
2016 Kipyegon Bett (800m)
2018 Rhonex Kipruto (10000m).
The six remaining not yet busted winners include the likes of George "I'm off to join the army" Manangoi and Edmund "16 going on 40 never hear of me again" Zayako.
