Asbel Kiprop is Baaaaaac! Official Watch Thread

I really doubt Asbel will go for more than 5000m . Most truly he will fight back to 1500/ mile shape again. He told me the longest run he ever has done is 18 km ( 11.2 miles) ........He`s a speed monster ! :)

He was already going downhill, he doped to try and keep his career going, and he got caught.

Kiprop was actually in great shape early 2016, when he was flagged with a suspicious ABP, and thus target tested. (Who knows how often he was flagged before...) He won four Diamond League 1500/mile races in May and June 2016, including a 3:29 in Birmingham. Then his manager F Rosa got charged with doping in July 2016.

LOL, his statement there hasn't aged well:

"If there was doping, they would have given me first because many times I have attempted to run the world record and I'm not getting it. They'd have given it to break the world record," he added.

Another fun Kiprop statement, also from 2016 (Reuters headline):

"Kenyan champion Kiprop wants jail terms for dopers"

Asbel is not that old in chronological terms but the issue is he’s been running for a very long time since he was a teenager and so he has a lot of mileage in his legs and for that reason I hesitate to say that he might have trouble getting back to his previous level.

Coach JS, are you planning on contacting the pencil thin, always elegantly attired Kenyan Police Inspector, Asbel Kiprop? It seems you have a talent/predisposition for communicating with Kenyan athletes.

Well....as I`ve told I coached him for a short time but he told me he couldn`t find motivation for a comeback. Later on in chat with me he told he had changed his mind and would go for a comeback with the help of his father. Now it seems a comeback is on it`s way. Not long time ago he showed at Twitter a fast tempo run done . Will be interesting to follow an intended comeback. And it looks like AK renounces its previous decision to ban Kenyan runners convicted for doping to represent the country . I and Asbel talked about changing citizenship for him, but it looks like it won`t be necessary to represent Kenya again if he reach back to his world class.

You never coached Asbel.

Haha!Don`t you belive me ? You should, I always tell the truth here on the boards. Of course I did.....but as I told only for a short while.Just easy runs when he was overweight

and working out in Ngong Hills at about 5 min / km pace . I also sometimes added some strides , 3-4 x 100m that he easy executed at around 14 sec .

He was a human stick , according to apple somebody's collection of studies on stick people , Kiprop is destined to be obese soon.

Both are revving their engines and raring to go. Oh, this will be interesting.

If they are still on doping ban they should not be training at venues with other athletes , they can get ban extended 😉👍

Recently in South Africa there was the Cape Town 12 km city run with a certain Asbel Kiprop in 7th, but not certain if this was the Asbel Kiprop, or a runner with same name. Curiously, when I checked the athletics world website and clicked on his name there was no information about him, no bio, no times, nothing.

Can someone confirm who this mysterious runner was and if it in fact was the famous pencil thin, always elegantly attired police inspector from Eldoret?

When I clicked on his name nothing came up last week. Perhaps things have changed by now. Perhaps the Swedish guru, JS, who had a previous contact with him could reveal if this was in fact the runner we all know or simply a namesake?

It is a different person , not 1500m Kiprop

Thank you, and this was just confirmed also by JS via email to me a few minutes ago.

What I found mysterious was that on the world athletics website this particular runner (A.K. #2 mystery man) has no details about his career, including nothing about his date of birth and previous statistics. Bizarre. However judging by the fact that he was only a minute behind the world’s class leader and not far behind World class South African great runner Stephen Mokoko, he’s a good runner in his own right.
