Surely this thread is a product of the Letsrun weekly staff meeting.

Choge also hasn't won anything that a normal, average American running fan cares about, so I am not sure we'd lose our minds if you told us he got busted.
Though I agree with you that the OP's definition of "Titan" is not very clearly articulated, so it could be "a guy with amazing range" like Choge.

People are taking "Titan" WAY too seriously

Or are you just adding to the nonsense?
Throughout the running community. I would not like to release my source for their own privacy, but this has been the consensus.
I can understand 100% why you would see this as nonsense.

I stated similar x 2 yesterday. There is no evidence now that I stated in so many words, this is a joke.

If this is all allegedly true... what's the point in waiting to drop the news?

Literally it's that nobody wants to give away their source.
These aren't journalists that everyone in this message board is getting their info from... it's coaches / athletes / etc. that do not want to put their reputation on the line rightfully so.
Can you imagine if someone from X track club just came out and said it's Kipchoge?
99% of athletes and coaches can't just release major news like Kara Goucher has. It's the guy that is making like 50k/year from his sponsor that tells his buddies about it who post here.

They keep trying to cover it up.

No I totally get that. But I guess my question is if he did test positive, why hasn't the official powers that be (World Athletics / World Anti-Doping Agency) announced this? Is Nike/someone attempting to cover it up?

It's all starting to make sense now. There were two probable elements in the recent decision to decide whether Kenya should be banned. Firstly, Kipchoge tested positive in Kenya. Secondly, he is appealing and Athletics Kenya wont make public his positive. Both things probably tipped the AIU and World Athletics to come close to banning Kenya. One of the things that Kenya has 'promised' Coe is that in future, they will make public all suspensions.

If a mid level US-based team like Brooks Beast knows about it then surely all the pros know about it. At which point I’d be surprised if nobody dropped at least a hint. Especially the ones who live for Twitter likes.

Good question, not sure to be honest. It could be so big that they want to have it right before released?

The only person that I can think of, that would rise to the level of a Lance Armstrong as a Titan in their own sport, and in terms of international fame, is Tiger Woods. Golf does do some drug testing (VIjay Singh popped a few years ago for deer antler spray). Clearly, Woods is past his prime, but so was Armstrong when he got busted.
Woods was known to have seen the disgraced Dr. Anthony Galea, who was caught smuggling HGH across the US/Canada border, per ESPN. A bust wouldn't seem as a surprise and it would fit with the OPs description.
honestly, if woods busted positive no one would care. golf is so technical that PEDs arent really a big deal. its like getting busted for PEDs as a bowler or something. no one would care at all.

I've also heard in the community that it's Kipchoge.
My source is from Boston...
BAA announced yesterday, yes, but also got word about Kipchoge.
I cannot wait to bump all the posts I made over the years laughing at all of you for believing he was clean

Still a troll post. This is the whole thing about reporting a story— you don’t need to reveal sources. If that many random athletes in Boston or wherever know, then a reporter would know by now. You don’t think that reporter would want to break a story like this?
Also, EK would be the dumbest person on the planet if he announced a race while he was fighting a ban. This sounds like a story made up by some HS XC kid.

It blows my mind you don't understand the term "auto-generated." Some person - perhaps a troll - started this thread. LOTS of people clicked on it and now it's super hot.
Normally threads like this have validity but I think this may have been a troll job. The OP hasn't come back and posted again from the same IP or cookie. They haven't provided any info.
I still think the thread is interesting. It makes people really think about doping, would anything shock them? What would most disappoint them, etc?
I always laugh when people say there are dopers too big too fail. They busted 100m champs Johnson, Jones,Gatlin and seemingly 50% of the 1500 champions in recent years, big marathon stars., etc.
