Didn't Grant Fisher graduate from Stanford with a major of engineering? I know posters want to disagree with me, G. Fisher doesn't seem obsessed about winning or earning medals. I looked at last 1000m of 2022 W.C. 5000m & 10000m. I don't recall G. Fisher ever going for it. Are you saying Grant Fisher is taking P.E.D.s to come in 3rd place in a meaningless meet in Europe so dozens of posters on this site will look up to him? I can't see Grant Fisher ruining his good name by taking P.E.D.s to run a 7:28.xx 3000m.
Chelimo 4 global medals. Alpha runner has what it takes to win hardware. But yeah finally America has a good distance runner at long last.
1) Chelimo 3 global medals.
2) Chelimo is much more suspect
3) How did Chelimo do in Eugene?
4) What has Chelimo done in the 10000 and 3000? Fisher head and shoulders above in these
What in earth has Chelimo done to arouse suspicions?
Look, two things can be true at the same time:
1. Chelimo deserves a lot more respect from US distance running fans than he gets. It's not about skin colour, it's the fact that he wasn't born in the US. He'll, Rojo said as much on the pod a few weeks back.
2. Fisher is running very well and offers a lot of potential for Budapest and Paris. 3rd in a DL is a great indicator of that (btw, Chelimo won a DL, just to add to his CV).
I don't see why praising Fisher requires belittling Chelimo's achievements.
How come body is talking about Ndikumwenayo? Look at his ‘progression’ 5K best by year:
2022 - 12:59 (25)
2021 - 13:25 (24)
2020 - 13:26 (23)
2019 - 13:34 (22)
2018 - 13:38 (21)
2017 - 13:25 (20)
2016 - 13:26 (19)
His previous best was 7:34 in June. Prior to that, he ran a 7:41 in 2018. Anyone know if he got braces or something?
What's your point? In a single year between 2021 and 2022, Fisher went from 7:37 to 7:28 and 27:11 to 26:33. Do we raise the alarm about him too? No, we enjoy the performances for what they are until an athlete gives us a reason to believe otherwise. The same standards apply whether the athlete is American or from another country.

Fisher is juiced out of his gourd, just like everyone else at the elite level. It doesn’t ruin his good name or make him a bad person, it’s just reality. You can’t be one of the world’s best without hopping on the sauzule.

Yep, two good runners can exist simultaneously in the same country. Fisher good ≠ Chelimo bad

Also, having heard Fisher on the Citius podcast, I think he'd be the first to praise Chelimo's achievements. Two Olympic medals in the 5000, including a silver during the era of one of the all-time greats, demands respect.
Does Chelimo have a teammate outed as likely doping?
Does Chelimo have a coach who continues to support a banned athlete?
WHAP WHAP WHAP
Looool. Chelimo hides out in Kenya for extended periods of time, loading up on true EPO rocket fuel, away from testers. Please. EPO>>>>burrito ingredients

Lol. Please. Read post above. Clown is the biggest juicer there is.
Dope city! Didn't Lagat test positive? How can a "clean" runner run faster than someone who was insanely talented AND doping? Guess if you can't beat them, you join them.
