I think you both get dumber by the day.

I stand by my claim that that is George behind his brother in the pic. They eyebrows and hairline are identical. The coach looks VERY old in all the pics I've seen of him. Too old even for age cheating. And he doesn't have those eyebrows.

Both of the guys in the pic are in their mid 20's. Why are white people so gullible and scared to call out Africans and others when they lie or cheat?

Trolling, right? I refuse to believe anyone can be this stupid.

How is them being in their 20s lying or cheating? Be better.

The coach is an age cheat for claiming to be 20 - 30 years older.

You really think the person behind Elijah in that photo is this guy?

What are you on about? The Manangois are not managed by Rosa. Sit down before you and Coevett have a truly unique aversion to reality.

They are definitely not managed by the Rosas. But they are definitely doped. They don't get tested out of season. The guys who said the people behind the cheating would up the ante with higher payoffs are right. It's going to get worse before it gets better. Look what's going on since Kiprop was exposed as a colossal cheat. One has to wonder how much wheeling and dealing is going on behind the scenes to salvage Kiprop's career. Good chance we'll be hearing about false positives and conspiracies involving Drew Hunter.

If you look at where David Ouma has his training camp (the Manangois and Tim) - Rongei - it's almost like you couldn't pick a more remote place in Kenya (whilst being reasonably close to El Doret etc). I'm not saying that was deliberate and that they are doping, I'm just saying how on Earth are random tests (i.e. unannounced, with or without cups of tea requests) possible at such a place :

So you won't be satisfied until all Kenyans train in downtown Nairobi?

Kenyans just can't win with you, can they?

They run fast, they are doped to the gills; they run slow, they are off the sauce because of the Kiprop bust.

This message board is so racist.

There is an inability to conceptualise that other human beings are simply different - here, specifically, other groups of people look different as they go through their younger years. One of the key elements of scientific racism, as it was constructed in the 16th and 17th century - when European needed to justify their brutal imperial expansion and colonisation of the rest of the world - was to view the European body/physicality as the absolute norm and any other people different from that, especially Africans, were thought of as being abnormal and wrong in every way - I suppose, given that historic grounding, this white/European exceptionalism which is hardwired into so many instutions, makes it difficult for so many LetsRun posters to accept that Africans do so well at athletics - having to dream up and hang on to "explanations" (explanations to support the erroneous institutionally hardwired scientific racism) for their dominance instead of silently accepting the fact.

Just stop! I'd say you're embarrassing yourself but that doesn't even seem to be possible with you. I posted a while back (in the potato planting thread, I think) that 'Rongai' in Kenya is like 'Greenville' or 'Springfield' in the U.S. - one of the most common place names in country. The Rongai Athletics Club is not close to Eldoret, but a remote 15 kilometres south of Nairobi city centre. So remote that many of its residents commute daily to and from their jobs in the city.

Tribal pride from the King.

What, no come back ?

Yes, so transparent and easy to reach It's impossible to find on Google Maps.

I found it in seconds...

It’s like he does just enough research to advertise his lack of intellect.
