That highly depends. Everyone can run. You can even do it barefoot to some degree. That makes it possible for a poor kid from Kenya to turn his or her life totally around and become affluent.
In Norway its almost impossible to not have enough money for a great life. You fully decide your own destiny. In contrast to poor countries in Africa where poverty is the predetermined destiny for close to everyone.
The inner motivation simple cant be compared. Gjert never had to feel any kind of responsibility to do whatever it took for his sons to become great stars. They were born in the oil capital of Norway and would most certainly gave gained atleast the average of the salary in Norway no matter what they choosed to become ($ 75k).
Unfortunatly it aint that easy for a poor kid from Kenya. And thats where you can find the real difference in motivation for starting with dope. For most Norwegian the risk of getting caught will be greater than the gain. You will be persona non grata as it would have destroyed the foundation for top sports in this country for years to come if a national hero was found to be a filthy cheater. In Kenya the possible gain will always outlive the risk of getting caught. Simple because of the money and the opportunities it provides.
And in the case of Jakob Ingebrigtsen; you wont find an athlete from Kenya where it has been possible to follow his development through the lence of a TV-camera from the age of 11. The transparency is a huge huge difference. In general, Norway compared to Kenya and with Jakob Ingebrigtsen in special. Wouldnt it be totally crazy for Gjert to allow the national broadcaster to follow close to every step if the family in the same time took dope in the shadows?
