All this suggests that a truckload of elites from many nationalities go the PED route. Clean marathon World Record probably 2:05. I'd say the Japanese are the least likely to be doping - but one can't even be sure of that. 2:00:16 clean is quite the stretch I think, a leap of faith that many cannot make based of the current amount of suspended Kenyans.
Also interesting especially for You, Armstronglivs:
Kiptum's average in his three Marathons is over 7 minutes faster than the New Zealand NR, which was set by an EPO doper.
I haven't seen anything that suggests the New Zealand record-holder used EPO. Where are the threads? But if he did use EPO that guarantees that a Kenyan 7 minutes faster is on the full pharmacy.
Not 7 minutes faster, Armstronglivs. OVER 7 minutes faster on AVERAGE of all his Marathons he has ever run.
You havn't seen it? This is --- just normal for you.
Is Kiptum the best Marathoner we have seen so far?

It doesn't matter whether it is his average or his best, he is as doped as any athlete in the sport today. No record today will be clean. He is setting records while coming from a sports culture that has been shown to be utterly corrupted by its doping. To say he is clean amongst his fellow cheating Kenyans is like trying to say there's an honest businessman somewhere in the Mafia - or a clean athlete at the top of the former E Germany.

So who is the New Zealand marathon record-holder who has been popped for doping, who is also several minutes slower than your "clean" Kenyans?

Zane Robertson. Do you even follow this sport?
Zane Robertson went to Kenya so he could dope. He didn't do it in his home country. If he was doping then most of those Kenyans faster than him sure were.
