This is, just maybe, the least informative Letsrun thread of all time. OP has given nothing to indicate this isn't just a troll job, but it's top of the message boards on the home page.
We will have our answer when we see who is the next guest on @TheRunningEffect
None of the women are at Lance-level fame atm. Marion Jones used to be.
Marion was big in her day. Running sub 10.7, at the time, seemed unreal. But come on now. SAFP has long since surpassed any level Marion achieved. She's the biggest name in sprinting history. So the "Lance Armstrong" of women's track yes.
But there's literally only one track athlete who rises to Armstrong's stature - that's Bolt. Either way, does mean any of the big stars today testing positive wouldn't be a big deal.
I would think Armstrong does not hold a candle to Usain Bolt for fame. So Bolt would both rise to and far exceed his stature. And he's also literally very tall.
Lance Armstrong style? How blinded are you runners lol? No one in running comes close to the impact Armstrong had on the typical citizen. You could MAYBE argue Hall almost got there for a few years. But not kipchoge. No one knows who that dude is. Look at what Armstrong did with Nike, Livestrong, etc etc. No one cares about running lol

Dumbest post of the week. What's it like having the IQ of a dorito?

Two words: context and metaphor
If we assume the alleged Titan doper is a runner (probably because this is a running message board), it's very likely that the OP is saying that this person is the running equivalent of Armstrong, not that the person is as famous as Lance Armstrong.
Woke interpretation: your assertion that Lance Armstrong is clearly more famous than Kipchoge is ethnocentric. In all seriousness, Kipchoge might be more famous in East African countries. I don't know.
I'll never understand why people who frequent Letsrun hate running so much.
I just thought to myself, "If Kipchoge was popped, do we shut the site down?"
So in the past have you, Wejo or Gault gotten inside info (from unnamed sources) on busts before they go public? Did either of you hear anything on an upcoming big one?
Last year, I heard that the Boston women's champ was popped. I can't remember who told me (I should go back and look that up) but I called up Edna Kiplagat's agent to ask if he'd heard anything. He hadn't. But it of course ended up being true.
