Oh wait, they're actually all Kenyan-born.

Yeah, and Kenyans don't dope when they are bought by rich Arab slave owners, so it would just prove how stupid and racist Coevett is.

Amos is finished guys. He's 33 at least and not doping anymore.

800m: Brazier

1500m: Cheserek (new US citizen)

3k SC: Jager

5000m: Chelimo

10000m: Leonard Korir (or Kipchirchir)

Marathon: Rupp

Americans will sweep, but half of them are Kenyans anyways

I guess we will see.

It's still two years away, but my favourites for Gold in the men's middle and long would be :

800m : Kyle Langford

1500m : Jakob Ingebrigsten

5000m : Jakob Ingebrigsten

10000 : Alex Yee

Marathon : Galen Rupp

3000m Steeple : Evan Jager

Also, there's a good chance Kenyan times will continue to drop dramatically over the next two years with increased testing and the threat of a federation suspension, so these could be favourites for gold even if Kenya is given another chance.

How many of these types of threads do you want?

Just go and post on r/TheDonald or stormfront or something, you'll get the response you want.

Kenya and Ethiopia should both be barred from future IAAF competitions, at least until the systematic doping programmes are eradicated and the Italian coaches have been removed.

That won't give much incentive to stop doping. They make their money mainly from road races which are not always IAAF competitions.

IF Kenya stays home, there's absolutely zero chance Jakob will be able to beat Sebastian Coe. Coe 1500 AND 5K.

1500 AND 5K? Seriously? What are you smoking???? Coe would be a lock for the 800 as well!

Ooops! I see you were just saying he'd beat the square-head in the 1500 & 5000, not that he'd lose to Langford in the 800.

My bad.

Maybe that's why they were asking Kiprop to plead guilty in exchange for an ambassadorship.

are you fricking serious!!

"if you plead guilty to cheating for 10 years we'll make you an ambassador."

you couldn't make this stuff up.

cheers.

Well,,,,,don`t hink Kenya will be banned ,,,,,,they have sharpen up the control after IAAF have forced them to.....and last years some big "fishes" have been caught,,,,Sumgung,Kiprop ( not decided in Court yet but showed positive A+B samples) and so on. The control is sharpened.......but the main problem in Kenya is the big managements with foreign influence. It`s seldom the individual athlete that takes the decision to do the doping alone... ;)

Come on, man. Morocco and perhaps South Africa would get the Champs ahead of Kenya. Morocco has a Diamond League meet and South Africa has an active track circuit. I would venture to say that Morocco has a better chance than South Africa, considering the issues with government corruption and economic stagnation in South Africa.

Either way, both would be gorgeous places to visit.

Morocco held a Diamond League at an empty stadium. Kenya hosting the World Youth championships was arguably much more successful.

There is no way that the World Championships will be at high altitude. Africa isn't safe and South Africa, the richest country on the continent, did a terrible of hosting the Football World Cup and that country is going backwards daily.

Are the 1500m and 5000m Olympic heats and finals scheduled far enough apart in the Olympics for it to be feasible for a double winner?

Blood doped Finns may start winning again.

5 and 10 would go to an Ethiopean

I don't see Langford going faster than 1:44. Outside chance of a medal no way will he be favourite

Ingebrigsten again outside chance of a medal

Jagger probably the only one might make your dreams come true!

Marathon will be as usual too hot so who knows?

Morocco has lower rates of certain violent crime than the United States. As do some other African nations. Objectively, the USA is a 2nd world nation for many of its citizens.

South Africa is a beautiful mess, though, we all know that. It's like that kid you know from high school with dashing good looks and great potential, but ends up addicted to opioids or something and has a couple unwanted children.

At least they got rid of Zuma. That's better than we can do with our corrupt head of state.

I'll pay you good $ if you find somebody on that list who isn't on the sauce.

If this guy wants to dream about an all white sweep across the events he hasn't even chosen the most likely athletes out of the bunch. That's what makes the OP even more tragic.

Jake Wightman is far more likely to win the 1500m than Jakob. Even Jakob's brother Fillip is more likely to win than Jakob.

Kzszot or Bosse are more likely to win the 800m than Langford.

Richard Ringer is 29 and improving and he absolutely destroyed Yee the other day. Even Galen would have a better chance stepping down

The other embarrassing thing is even if all of Africa was prevented from competing, most of the events on that list would be won by athletes of various colours from the nation's remaining. Brazier for the 800m for example, or Farah in the marathon.

But all of this is nonsense because Kenya will not be banned and even if they were there are plenty of runners from around the world of all colours that would destroy the PATHETIC list concocted by the OP whilst he had his penis in one hand.

Seriously just go and post this crap somewhere else

It's also laughable to think that systematic doping is being organzied in Kenya. The ahtletics governing bodies there have shown themselves to be corrupt, incompetent, and disorganized. If anything, it's a situation like in the USA, where doping is group-specific and de-centralized, rather than a grand scheme of a national organization. That type of scheme is less likely to result in a nation ban, but dealt with case-by-case.
