Asbel Kiprop and Elijah Manangoi return to competition

Yeah let's see how they do first but if they reach close to their peak level performances there will rightfully be suspicion. I doubt these two learned anything. If they're in good shape theyll get up to their old tricks again and by that I mean the eee pee oh.

Drug bans should be for life. No shocker tho considering Kenya’s illustrious history of blatant doping.

Unfortunately Coleman will be back now, too, thanks to his reduced ban (because the poor guy didn't get his courtesy call before his last missed test!).

Manangoi can medal at the next Olympics.

I am curious to see how he does at commonwealth and diamond league this year. Best of luck to him.

I don't think Kiprop will ever get close to where he was. He will be lucky to run 335 I think, ever. That might be generous (I believe he was doping his entire career).

He will just dope again like most dopers. Athletics in Africa is about survival. Escaping poverty. I don't blame them for doping to be honest. There is no stigma for being a doper. It is accepted in the culture.

Kiprop ran a 5k in the U.S 3 weeks ago

Let's agree that doping is the rule everywhere in the world.

Then African are the best among of dopers.

Thats b... sh.. , his ban only ends today , no way he will make it back to the top , too much in love

with drinking and womanising and still crying like a b..ch that he was hard done too .

So have Kenya formally announced that they are scrapping their rule that no athlete convicted of an anti-doping offence can ever represent them again internationally?

Hopefully Coe will at least now throw their application to host the 2025 World Championships in to the trash bin where it belongs.

Lol, unashamed doping apologists should have no place here, although I suppose at least you are honest.

No, maybe there is a case that Moroccans are better responders than Kenyans to EPO, but that's about it.

So are talking about religion in society lost without belief?

Sifan Hassan and Mo Farah, Kipketer were a poor and lost African runners.

Then they transformed into supernatural performance machines when they moved to the clean world ?

Stadia are so s..t , they might be able to just about do a satisfactory Junior comp...but world seniors ...nooo way

asbel is free!

Manangoi will be back, but Kiprop is done. Too bad because that would have been entertaining.

I don´t think any of them will come near to their former level.

They were moving backwards already before their ban.

Kiprop's recent "training" should make him a a lock for the beer mile WR.

I still curse myself for not purchasing a pair of Manangoi's race worn gold medalist Victory Elite spikes when I could've. They were my size too, though I don't think I would've raced in them.
