Beatrice Chebet World record 5km 13:52 Cursa dels Nassos

Exactly.

How could that be?

Um…thats kinda the point. World records have no end.

Motivation? Kenyans are literally running for their life and livelihood. Good prize money for a few years is generational changing money. In America, you run, pay attention to social media following, obsess over contracts, and if it doesn't work out, no problem, there are plenty of options for other careers.

If this doesn’t set off alarm bells for you, then you’re completely out of touch.
Would add that there has been zero testing since Paris.

I know you’re very well educated on athletics- on African runners especially. That makes me scratch my head when you don’t know that ADAK has been out of commission for months now. It’s commonly known.

How can that statement even be remotely considered to be racist? We live in a completely bizarre world now.

You would be interested to see the stats post Paris, I think.

Go to Eldoret. Get to know some people. Ask for yourself. It’s completely wide open at the moment.

Super shoes are a masking agent.

That's because he's part of the rekbot army, mission: propaganda.

Has the AIU been too? That seems to be lost on this line of thinking.

No one has "more super shoes".

Every runner has 2 feet and 2 super shoes.

Its doping. Deal with it.

You are kidding right? Go to google and type in "adak defunds antidoping" tell me what articles you happen upon. Then let me know how Kenya is being earnest in catching dopers.

Doping or not, it's still the official record unless she gets busted. Deal with it.

Shelby will be BACK baby!

In 13 days . . .

This is quite a short-sighted view. In the US and Europe teams are becoming increasingly multi-ethnic. It has very little to do with race/ethnicity and a lot to do with national origin. When European runners go MIA for testing the same scrutiny applies. You have very first-order thinking on this. When the spirit of the sport was violated by Nike AlSal group, people didn't pull their punches. But you are free to think whatever you want. It seems to me to that your thinking is also biased thinking of classes of nations that are beyond reproach. I think we should all simply agree that people have an incentive to bend the rules. When fame, funds, etc are involved that is intensified. I am ok with giving anyone the benefit of the doubt without a positive test. When someone does something so far beyond what has been done, this is a natural question. If the person is entirely clean, it should be a compliment.

Absolutely no one with an ounce of credibility thinks this was clean.

I think we are getting a compelling demonstration of the performance enhancing capabilities of drugs today. For those who insist she is clean it can be presumed she would be running the low 13's-13:20's - like Viren - if she were doped.
