Kipchoge -"80 per cent of athletes drink alcohol so a lot needs to be done."

What are you trying to say Wejo?

Best beers are post run beers and shower beers. You aren't an alcoholic if you enjoy those things.

Kipchoge is obviously a devout Christian man.

He appears to be talking pretty clearly in the context of alcohol addiction, not casual alcohol consumption, and separately about exploitation of female athletes as constituting bad character.

Coca cola gets free advertising every time someone sees Kenya's .co.ke suffix. Kenya should try to get kickbacks for that.

Kenya is a fuc#ed up third world country with massive social problems, alcoholism being one of them. It makes sense from his perspective. Not from “I have an ice cold IPA after a run” perspective.

Next thing you are getting into bar fights, beating your girl friend or wife and getting d.u.i.

Double I.P.A. to vehicular homicide. Oh. You are different. You wouldn't do that.

You ignoramus. What are these massive social problems you speak of, alcoholism? Show sources. Maybe you should focus on the obesity, racism, and anti-democratic movements in your own country.

Rich from a country where opioids, crack and meth rule. At least Kenyans don't do class A drugs. Heck, even alcoholism isn't as bad as you see it is in America.

Eliud is essentially right. Too many Kenyan athletes have had an affinity to the bottle. Samuel Wanjiru's, Benson Masya's, Paul Kipkoech's, Richard Chelimo's and Samson Kitur's deaths all directly or indirectly attributable to their drinking. Sammy, especially, was an extremely unpleasant and obnoxious drunk. Asbel Kiprop is/was widely known as a drunk. Wilson Kipsang is a full-blown alcoholic. His life, career and legacy all spiralled due to his drinking problem. His whereabouts violation was a direct result of this.

Even David Rudisha and Conseslus Kipruto imbibed too much, though I think both have cleaned up.

I'm still looking for a problem with Eliud's statement?

In the context of pro runners, too, he is especially right. It's so counterproductive to drink.

Hi TMAD....

Why have you included Atheism as an addiction? Other than to be provocative ,that's nonsensical. I would counter that our need for religion is an addiction.

Yikes. Just seen my posts become incoherent grammatical messes when I post from a phone
