???
I hope no one confuses me with "rekbot". I am not "rekbot", and I don't apologize for drug cheats.
If you are referring to Coevett suggesting who authored "a list of the 2020-2023 top list", that would not have been me. I did compile stats from lists up to 2018, and another set of stats from lists up to 2019. These were aggragate statistics without names, with no indication of which athlete best performances were doped.

6 of 13 caught. Probably another 6 cheating but got away with it thus far. A clean kenyan athlete really is an anomaly.

Koech actually set the 10 mile WR back in 2022. Looks like they plan to DQ him for that, see where they added "ABP" next to his WR.10

There were FIVE Kenyans suspended today, including Edward Zakayo, but this msg board just yawns now and moves on, preferring to get 'excited' about whether Wanyonyi will 'embarass' Hocker and Jakob this year.
That's 22 suspended in the last 3 months.Edward Zakayo was the age cheat who beat Jakob at world juniors way back when. Dude looked 35 amongst 18 year Olds. So yes, time to ban Kenya until better behavior is collectively exemplified.

Zakayo was one of the worst, but the wokesters were defending him left and right as a “teen”.

Why don't you post a picture of your ugly face so we can also insult your looks?

I’ll update as we move along.
Any “shame” involved is in the minds of the accusers. It’s just business among the doers and their handlers. An obscene “new normal.” Morality will have nothing to do with eradicating this practice. Possibly Science, maybe law, but certainly not any ideas of “fair play, sportsmanship, conscience, or religion” would be of any value in remedying the doping plague. Naïveté is kind of nice but is solving nothing.
