Asbel Kiprop: he’s looking slim and fit training here. Will he get back to his previous form? That remains an open question. The past is gone, the future is ahead, let’s move ahead and see what happens. People have different opinions and that has always been the case. Life is short.

For some people, the past is before 1964 and should be the present. They don't accept the changes. People should move on.

No thanks, not looking to fall victim to the "ask for forgiveness instead of asking for permission", which is what this is. Kiprop got busted for doping, denied, and almost assuredly doped his whole life. I understand why of course, who doesn't want to get out of poverty, but to act like it never happened is crazy, and to expect different behavior now is doubly crazy. He got away with it for years, made a mistake, and will simply not make that mistake again.
I wonder if he still gets Nikes for free like Shelby

Where are your sources, documents when claiming this?
Do you place a camera in the room of runners and watch what they are doing every day?
Asbel Kiprop got 3 titles in WAC and 1 title in the Olympic games.
You are not entitled to deny the legitimacy of the results of a runner. Unless you have proofs.

Oh, yes you are. The runner is selling an entertainment product. Caveat emptor.
For many viewers, an olympic gold and a 3:26 might as well be a positive A and B sample. Doping works, so how would a non-doper dominate the dopers? Unlikely.
He stole Nick's gold, pure and simple. Not forgiven.

You're actually saying that anyone who doesn't welcome a convicted African drug cheat back in to the sport is a racist.

The big surprise he delivered is that he`s going for the 800m ! Not back to 1500 in the first phase and no 5000m as we expected.

I don’t think that Passant is saying that. I think what he’s saying is that it is difficult or impossible to prove that he has been doping his whole life and in fact that may be correct because Kiprop started competing in his mid teens and it is unlikely that he was doping at that time. Kenyans in their mid to late teens are still considered to be “school children” (minors), and unlikely to have connections for those kinds of things. He may have doped and this is true, but to claim that he has been doping “his whole career” is probably most likely inaccurate and an exaggeration which denies the innate talent that this runner possessed.

Undisputed POTY. They've never come to terms with it. Merci!
Asbel Kiprop was a fresh teenager when he won gold at the Olympics, coming from winning the world junior XC. Ridiculous to think they would be doping a kid in secondary school. Fact is, he tested positive in 2017 when in clear decline having won zero races that year.
But he, along with Silas Kiplagat, Taofik Makhloufi, Abdalaati Iguider, Ayanleh Souleiman and Ronald Kwemoi made the 1500m the most entertaining event to watch on the circuit.

maybe , but it looked to me like Nick sat back to ensure a strong finish and get amongst the medals . Maybe 2 drug cheats ahead of him helped him get the bronze in the first place . Maybe somebody who was robbed of being in the final could have medaled ... did he steal Nicks gold .. No ... should Nick be awarded the gold .. yes

1964? makes no sense, Asbel Kiprop had not even been born in 1964
F**K this cheater.

If you think he's not an alien from outer space you are wrong. Look at his cranium. Look at his body: 6-5 and 118 pounds of arms and legs.
