He did NOT steal money. He won the money by competing. Jealousy gets you nowhere. Try to compete yourself instead of criticizing others who are more successful than you.
He trained in the camp owned by his management: Volare
They've had other athletes also busted. Why this management (and Rosa) are not sanctioned is beyond me?
Plus, even races that claim not to take an athlete if the agent/coach has had 2 or more busted athletes in the past 4 years, these races just look the other way. This includes the WMM.
I'd hope they do a full accounting of why he was mainlining CERA, where he got it, and how managed to get busted 3 times in a month. They posted this video in the midst of all those tests in September 2025 (who knows when it was filmed).
Race directors should have to answer why they keep allowing Kenyans to race and then get busted causing clean athletes to lose out.
I always wondered about Africans you never hear the names of winning marathons outside of majors in 2:05 range. The one who won Seoul Marathon recently. There is something going on here. I think the race directors know they're all on something but are willing to risk ones who are deemed less obvious or micro-dosing.

Any idea why the whites who dope cannot run as fast as the Africans?
The problem here is that there is almost no punishment for these drug cheats.
Korir has winnings of at least $500k, plus appearance fees, sponsorship revenue, advertising revenue, shoe contracts, etc. It probably adds up to several million dollars. Organizers have tried and mostly failed at getting any winnings back from drug cheats.
To put this in perspective, imagine that someone has been robbing banks for at least five years. Then, they rob a bank and get caught. They don't go to jail. They aren't prosecuted criminally. Instead, they're told, "Hey, no more bank robbing for you for the next X years!"

Those races need to offer up prize money and have reputable fields to maintain their status with World Athletics. Westerners aren’t interested and the Japanese run their many competitive domestic options, so it’d attract a lot of second or third-tier Kenyans/Ethiopians.

Tell us you have never competed at a high level without telling us.

No, if these races weren't inviting doped up Africans, those doped up Africans wouldn't have the incentive to dope up and train 24/7. These races would be won by Westerners (and Japanese) and homegrown standards would improve. World Athletics should be concerned with maintaining the reputable status of athletics.

So Westerners do not dope. I wonder how you know this?

Bwire, you are just like Rekrunner an African or more specifically a Kenyan sympathizer … maybe you are Rekrunner.
Especially Kenyan distance runners who take PEDs (which are most likely the vast majority and absolutely the ones at the top) continue to rip off the running world (those athletes that are clean) by taking their prize money, their moment of glory, sponsorship dollars, causing advertisers to pull away from investing in our sport, causing people to not watch distance running etc.
For every one bust their are hundreds of Kenyan distance runners willing to do exactly the same to make money. Monies are seldom taken away from the cheats, the coaches and agent fees of the cheats.
Shame on race directors; not just road but also Diamond League that let athletes who are associated with coaches and agents that have had multiple athletes busted for PEDs continue to compete. Shame on race directors that have some level of event testing but hand pick the most likely to be clean athletes to test and not the top finishers who may be more likely to be doping.
National Governing Bodies (if they are worth anything) should put in place rules that put the bums (those athletes that get caught in jail if they won’t rat out the enablers (agents, coaches, pharmacists, doctors, officials, two-bit-politicians).
World Athletics, WADA, AIU (who is actually doing something) can’t you sanction Kenya or better yet ban Kenya? If not why not under the present rule system and create new rules that can? Cant you sanction coaches and agents that have multiple athletes banned for PEDs and whereabouts CRIMES? Cant you make race directors test the top three then three other athletes in an event in-order-to be a WA sanctioned event?
It is no wonder the sport is loosing viewership. World governing bodies indecision on the obvious is killing Athletics.

I am not Rekrunner, nor an African, nor a Kenyan sympathizer. I just wasn’t afflicted with this ignorant tribalism which impacts most of you. Part of this is an intelligence issue, but it goes way beyond that. Most of you lack any sort of self awareness and your ignorance surfaces.
How many were cheating? All of them. Lord Coe needs to stop the PC cowardice and push for a ban. Then it will time to go after the Ethiopians. Put a stop to the silent bans and manipulated test results.
I wanna know what the hell is happening in Ethiopia that they have no positives compared to Kenya. They need to level up that testing.
Bwire: Please explain how what I wrote is “afflicted with ignorant tribalism”.
Given the statements and accusations in your post - Your… opinion is fascinating… in your mind… your intelligence level, self awareness, and lack of ignorance is superior.
Please do help those of us understand your enlightened approach to putting a stop to the historical and disproportionate PEDs use by Kenyan distance athletes, the lack of ever bringing down the enablers, race directors allowing athletes from groups coached and agents representing said doped athletes continuing to degrade the integrity, viability of Athletics and ripping off clean athletes.
