Kelvin MR Kiptum!

No real hills in Chicago other than bridges and under/overpasses

Talented non-white runners. Obvious answer.

Let me guess here...if someone like Rupp ran a time close to his you'd be perfectly fine with it, never skeptical one bit, while completely ignoring his former coach's history. But since it's not a white American it has to be suspicious. Anyone with common sense knows people of color are just naturally more talented athletically than whites, especially those lazy Americans. I know it hurts that your "privilege" can't make any faster so you lash out with false accusations. Like I've said many times before on these crybaby message boards, spend more time training and less time complaining.

The lower legs act somewhat like pendulums after spring loaded energy return

...I also wonder about another WR...will Armstrong set one in responses to a thread?

I just watched a few minutes of the race footage of the winner before turning it off. Absolutely comical. It's like watching the Tour De France during the Lance era.

I just don't watch much of international athletics anymore, prefer to watch local races, in fact some local cross country races have some times set years ago that people try and beat and is far more exciting.

Good thing as well when somebody does try and beat these times on the local races they come across the line and look like anyone would often bent over double or collapsing on floor collapsing their breath, not like the ridiculous charade nowadays in marathon - oh look I just ran close to 2 hours give me 20 mins and I'll do a warm down run close to wr 10k pace.

I wondering now Is it possible for other athletes to get a refund on their EPO.

There's been a few athletes this year and last that clock times like 2.05, 2.07 they must be a bit disappointed putting in the miles taking the meds and being 5mins off the likes of kiptum who by some people on here's reckoning is clean.

Seen this all with cycling before, one day the charade will come down in athletics like it did in cycling.

In cycling used to get guys in the peloton 5mins behind on each stage of the big mountains in the tdf yet they'd be caught on epo.

I used to say to people if they're on it don't you think the winners are on it? Nope they would deny reality till the winners got caught then it would be hurrr durrr my guy just got caught doping what a cheat he said he ws clean.

I can't speak for others but colour or nation has nothing to do with it for me.

Figure me then, my favourite runner was Hendrick Ramaala.

I'm suspicious of Rupp, Ive been a cycling fan all my life and thats a very white sport yet I knew way before the big scandals they were all doped to their eyeballs.

Yet I know the likes of kiptum et Al are too

Stacked to the gills!

The epitome of pee-cee wokeness. If some Euro (like Jakob) did this we'd see nothing but complaints about drugs. lol

CIM is going to be so weird with hundreds of those

But also his legs are thinner than most American pro's arms

That moving weight reduction makes a huge difference

On a flat course. You left out the gale force tailwind. And he had a plane to catch.

Unlike running the Chicago marathon, it doesn't take being doped to the gills to do that.

Rhonex Kipruto was the 2018 world junior champ at 10,000m on the track. And he won bronze in the 10,000m at the 2019 world championships in Doha. And he's never run a marathon on competition.

Other than that, he's practically Kelvin Kiptum's identical twin.

Yes, it's true that Clydesdales aren't good race horses.
