TV Streaming and Live Tracking for 2016 BMW Berlin Marathon

It doesn't exist any type of drug that can change quickly your situation working in this way in the space of few seconds. Soon after drinking at 40k, Kenenisa started to push, so the effects of this "magic drug", according to your sick mind, were immediated : after 40 km, you drink something and IMMEDIATELY you have a new source of energy.
Don't you understand how much stupid can be an idea like this ?

To me it appeared as if he was just biding time and just slowly reeling in Kipsang. Remember Bekele is a savvy racer. He is the guy who duped Mo into picking up the pace, as Bekele wanted, by falling back just a tad at the Great North Run.
Were talking about 40k. Read the subject at the top
He didn't forget how to race in 10k.

Great theory, not. wrote:Haha, you really are an idiot, to take the last couple of k in isolation and not take in to account the preceding 5k splits confirms this.
Using your theory, Kimetto must have been having suspect drinks at 15k-14:26 for next split, 20k-14:32 for next split ,25k-14:30 for next split and a super suspect one at 30k-14:09 for next split, no wonder he ran 14:42 at 40k and 6:28, 20 seconds slower than Bekele, for the last 2k195mt.
Kipchoge coming off 14:29,14:34,14:54,14:42 ran 2k195mt a whole 8 seconds slower than Bekele, big deal. But, Bekele was coming off 14:45,14:43, 14:31, 14:54, i.e. Bekele ran 14 seconds slower overall than Kipchoge for those splits (20k) so it's not unexpected the fastest 5/10k runner of all time and multiple world cross country champ would be a whole 8 seconds (8 seconds, wow) faster than Kipchoge over the last 2k195mt especially as the preceding 5k split was 14:54, cruising for Bekele. It's been fun, but sorry, you're an idiot.
Regardless of the time comparisons of Bekele, Kimetto and Kipchoge up until the 40k mark... The point is that Bekele was barely hanging in there up until 40k. Most people would say that he was hitting the wall if you want to call it that. So by Renato Canova saying that Jos Hermans raced to the 40k water station to give Bekele a few drops of water so that Bekele would have some sort of phycological benefit to overtake kipsang is a bunch of BS! It wasn't water in that bottle that Bekele drank at 40k it had to be something else and I'm quite certain that Renato Canova is telling a lie.
In the Tour de France. The rider at the back of the pelaton who's barely hanging on to the back of it.. doesn't take a swig of water and suddenly is able to propel himself to the front of all the riders and win the tour de france stage. Unless your name is Lance.
If you are in the middle of the desert dehydrated ready do to die, and suddenly you find a cactus and suck the a few drops of water out of it.. I don't think that would give anyone the mental strength to make it to civilization.
This is getting more and more hilarious.
"Regardless of the time comparisons of Bekele, Kimetto and Kipchoge up until the 40k mark..."
Ignore that fact as it doesn't fit with the conspiracy theory.
"The point is that Bekele was barely hanging in there up until 40k."
Haha, rubbish.
"Most people would say that he was hitting the wall if you want to call it that"
Most people wouldn't and I don't want to call it that because he wasn't.
"So by Renato Canova saying that Jos Hermans raced to the 40k water station"
He didn't say that. Also, if you have a look at the course map you'll see it's quite easy to get from the 20k point, where JH handed him a bottle, to the 40k point. Why wouldn't he want to get out there on the course and get involved in the occasion, especially as he had an official pass, access to all areas and transport, the alternative is to hang around at the finish like a stale fart and wait for them to come in.
If you knew anything about athletics and track and field you would know that JH is always trackside inside the track at the Diamond League meets encouraging athletes and getting involved. FMD when Gebrselassie was going for his WR's at Berlin JH used to ride beside him on the back of a motor bike. They've stopped him doing that know because of protests that it's illegal pacing.
It wasn't water in that bottle that Bekele drank at 40k it had to be something else and I'm quite certain that Renato Canova is telling a lie.
O wise one please tell us what could possibly have been in it to, as Canova says:
"It doesn't exist any type of drug that can change quickly your situation working in this way in the space of few seconds.

But hey, you're so knowledgeable and certain and you've done your research so please enlighten me as to what this magic elixir could be?, I want to bottle it and make a fortune.
Bumping this to this page since most seemed to have missed it:
