I thought Peyton Craig looked quite a bit older than 19 when I saw him at the Olympics. Not surprisingly, teenagers who challenge the best in the world tend to have matured early. Of course age cheating does go on, but it's pretty hard to tell just by someone's appearance. That's why some stores where I live have a policy of IDing anyone who looks 25 or under when selling them booze or cigarettes even though the legal age is 18.

You are a bitter sad man. I went to the same school as wanyonyi. Even in school thats how his face looked. Not everyone has a babyface
He comes from the luyha tribe and most luyhas in kenya including women tend to have a strong face so stop this nonesense
Here is a picture of wanyonyi from highschool;
Definitely an age cheat.

There is no confirmation that the names are only athletes who made world juniors teams. There was also a world youth championships in that time in 2017 and several U20 championships for Cross Country or regional champs (Commonwealth, East African). So likely this is looking at several hundred (if not over a thousand) athletes not the 75 or so from 4 U20 Track Champs. Your Wanyonyi fixation is strange because he hasn’t competed in junior competition since 2021, so his age cheating would require him to be born earlier than 2002.
Coevette is only interested in how some Africans look older than they are. Cannot understand it because he normally only looks at white people where 18yo's drive cars, vote etc without anyone knowing they are that young.
By his reckoning, Wanyoni (which he doesn't even bother to spell right) is now 24 and aging at 1.2 times the normal rate. Kipchoge is 47, Bekele is 50
Let's get back to reality and facts, rather than your, Thoughtleader's,.Hoady's fantasies.
We're talking about a rampant age cheating problem in Kenya that Athletics Kenya and World Athletics both acknowledge and are seeking to address. 26 Kenyans are under investigation, principally it appears athletes who participated in world U20 and U18 competitions since 2016. If you think these bodies are racist, then take it up.with them, rather than obsessing over a LetsRun poster. ike me simply reporting the news
As far as Wayonyi is.concerned, statistically there is a good chance he is one of those being investigated, leaving aside the fact he won and has recorded superhuman times at an absurdly young age, whilst looking much older than his official age. One more time for the benefit of Thoughtleader- this is important because he could face sanctions if judged to have lied about his age when entering the 2021 world U20 Championships.
Yes, Bekele and Kipchoge could be 3 or 4 years older than their official ages (not 8 years) and their longevity can be explained.by the fact they are the only 45 year old elite runners competing who have been doping with EPO for three decades. BTW, THREE separate peer reviewed studies have found that EPO.has anti-aging properties.

The fact that they are doping with EPO since three decades?
Shame on you.
Hopefully you will face consequences for this.

The "juniors" who faced Jakob...... George Manangoi, Justus Soget, Edward Zakayo, Milkesa Mengesha, Tadese Worku... all complete nobodies now. Makes me wonder how old they really were at the "U20" competitions.
Most egregious / hilarious age cheat right now is that "17-year-old" Ethiopian. Gonna be nauseating to hear shills claim he's a "teenager" for the next two years.
Milkesha has ran well and made an Olympic final, Worku dropped a 26:40 this year. Only difference of fall of is majority of these guys run for survival and not self actualisation so the underlying motivation system to continue training are very different

Say his name right. Also all the punishment would be no JRs(does he even have one) and that is it.

You seem to be getting back to your fanciful leaps in logic. There is no solid proof that the 26 is limited to athletes who competed in the track realm or made the teams. That’s just your convenient assumption to make a bold claim about 26 being statistically likely to include Wanyonyi. It’s funny how Wanyonyi is as I said the one guy from that 800m World Juniors final who has significantly improved. So perhaps he is what we know as a big talent who is good at age 17 or age 20. Didn’t Phoebe Gill just run a similar quality time at age 17. Right.

Still darn curious how old he actually was in 2003? 18? really? maybe maybe

FFS, I posted a link stating they were looking at World U20 and U18 Chqmpionships.
How do you know what sanctions Athletics Kenya or the AIU would impose?
But I get it, Rekrunner is still on vacation, so you have to fill in for him, with the help of Hoady and his multiple but identical split personalities.

No, the article you linked said it was troubling that "among" the 26 are athletes from those. You don't know it is that, and this is probably like that ADAK list from before, which did come out and had a few international athletes but their scope includes mediocre athletes, basketball players smoking weed and so on. I have no idea the sanctions AK or AIU would impose, but for Thomas Longosiwa let's note he was DQed and fined, but no he didn't get banned or anything like that.

Agreed. What disturbs me on this forum is the number of morally bankrupt doping apologists who don't care whether or not Wayonyi and others did age cheat and rob others (including a Kenyan) out of U20 teams, finals, and medals. And as if the willingness to do so (age cheat) says nothing about a likely equal willingness to cheat with drugs (and I know Rekrunner will start wrecking the thread again now - we don't want to hear it Rekrunner).

I'm sorry -- I can't get past your inability to spell "Wanyonyi".
