With the little info out there on this, an alcohol issue previously, no marks over 2 years, it would make some other abuse issue more likely absent a dormant disease.
a young world class athlete has a heart attack at 28..................... humm. If true very sad. With all the wealthy Kenyan runners there is no money to even get him back to Kenya. That's sad as well.
Kipsang was an incredible athlete to watch in his prime. It was fun to watch him break the collegiate record in person.
I do know he joined Drew Hunter‘s group after college but was removed due to alcohol issues and he also was given whereabouts ban for three missed test.
all to be said, terrible loss for the running community. Thoughts and prayers to all his close friends and family.
A buddy of mine texted me the same thing today. Said he had 3 whereabouts failures, bot a ban and they thought he basically drank himself to death. I'm not aware of a whereabouts ban for him. Can anyone link to proof of that?
A very sad story.
The following story sadly gets another addition to the list:
