Hmm even if he gets an expedited transfer of allegiance I don’t think he’s fast enough!

lol!
Abel Kiprop, the magic wizards apprentice.
Rojo:
It’s Asbel, not Abel, small but significant difference.
By February 22, 2022, he will have served his sentence and so he should be allowed to compete for Kenya again.
The case with Asbel Kiprop was murky from the start, and doped or not doped, the pencil thin elegant, always immaculately attired policeman from Eldoret has paid a heavy price, and should be allowed to get on with his life.
He has few years left in running. One feels that banning him would be an unjustified punishment on an already severe four year term.
Asbel K. remains for many, one of the most exciting if not the most exciting 1500 m runner of all time.
At least get his name right!

No, no. He was an immensely talented 1500 runner who would have been in the mix for medals for a decade, clean, but he doped in pursuit of the WR and dominance. He definitely doped. And by several reports he carried on like a violent jackass.
Doping leaves lasting advantages, like more nuclei in the muscle bellies, allowing them to grow larger more easily.

You make a large generalization which does not encompass EPO which only has a short duration effect and does not last long. Kiprop was suspected of EPO.
In summation: No advantage for the pencil thin, large eyed, always elegantly attired Eldoret policeman, whose police chief in Eldoret always maintained his loyalty to the Kenyan legend, Asbel Kiprop.

Yes we know that he doped. But we don't know how good he would have been without doping, like 0 (hi rekrunner!), 3, or 6 seconds slower. With a 3:32 PR, he might never have gotten a medal.
We also don't know whether a clean Kiprop would have beaten a clean Ramzi, for example. It's the Armstrong argument all over again.
In any case, I appreciate the plan to not let dopers compete for your country anymore. We should do the same, no more Gay or Gatlin for example.
Tenuous subject, but the Kenyan, Kiprop, never admitted to doping and stated that the case against him was flawed seriously from the start involving a certain amount of corruption and Tea money.
Considering everyone at the top is suspects, I’d find it fun to see Tim x Jakob x Asbel & others next year. If he wins something JS will go bananas and title himself ”World Champion”

Because he is a moron.

Dopers hardly ever admit to their doping.
He doped. He got caught. The 'tea money' situation doesn't improve things for him in the slightest.
Sorry ghost, the pencil thin, immaculately dressed filthy doper is a cheat and no matter how great his police career was, he's finished as a relevant athlete.

Hehe! )) Johnny........I don`t coach him anymore. It was just for a very short time when trying to build back to race shape.He decided to train on his own with his father as advicer. His father was a very good middle distancer too.It looks like he is training at some Twitter posts, but when I had coached him for short time he told he had lost motivation for a comeback. I will check with him if he really try to do a comeback.

I thought police are heroes and blue lives matter?
Or does that only apply to white cops who beat and shoot people in Amurka?

You're the one who should be banned from the sport of running. It's obvious you use doping runners to profit personally. GTFOH
It strikes me that all your posts are in support of dopers or likely dopers. Asbel Kiprop was doping for a long time and you know it. Kiprop's defenses were also ludicrous. The IAAF needs to strip him of all of his medals and pass them on to guys cheated by him out of medals.

Well.........this is one of the most strange doping cases ever. It`s no doubt the samples A and B were positive, but many strange circumstances they became to be .
