Double standards? If any non-African country had Kenya's doping record, virtually nobody would be taking any of their performances seriously now. But we're supposed to believe that the guy smashing his own PBs/WRs approaching 40 years old, nearly 20 years after he peaked on the track, is clean as a whistle?
US has a far worse doping record. Or are you dividing the US into two teams of sprinters and distance runners?
Seems like this is headed toward the Usain Bolt or El G way. Weird how the legendary runners are clean, yet somehow many of their training partners get busted.
Which one of Bolt’s training partners have been busted ?

El G is the filthiest runner in this entire sport. 32 sub 3:30 clockings, an untouchable WR 25 years later, his training partner / personal pacemaker busted for doping a year later (Adil Kaouch).
Always fishing in troubled water.
Adel Kaouch tested positive in a time where he was finished (2007)
3 years after El G. retirement.
The same story as Nijel AMOS, bad spirits say he was a doper but the truth is that he only tested positive at some point at the end of his carrer.

Five years ago he ran a couple 44's for 15k races in the netherlands, something dozens of Americans can do. Then in 2018 he ran 2:09 in his first marathon, something not many Americans can do, along with a couple 61 half marathons. Then in 2019 he ran 2:06 and 2:07 marathons, something only one American has done in the past roughly decade. So he went from average elite to top 30 in the world in less than 2 years. Those are some good drugs.
Kipchoge is too big to fail and not even the AIU will pop him. All they can do is to pop athletes around him in an effort that he stops the freak show. As we saw in Berlin, that ain't happening...
All of these conspiracy theorists. I never get it. People don't think it logically through.
So if Kipchoge is too big of a whale to go down then how in the hell was Lance Armstrong taken down?
And in track , it doesn't get any bigger than the men's 100 champ and Ben Johnson, Justin Gatlin, Christian Coleman all went down. Next up in importance is either men's marathon or 1500 and we know Kiprop went down as well.
Lance was implicated by ex team mates and he was sponsored by a government concern and he came back after retirement which backed officialdom into a corner. And he purjured himself to boot. Then he finally admitted it on a TV show. Come on, is there really anyone out there that thinks that a person runs a 2:01 marathon and is not chemically assisted?
A Scape goat of such ,for cycling trying to wipe slate clean , it helped that he was American in euro centric sport for them to throw book at him.
Never happen nowadays, with such general apathy and lack of investigative journo's .
the latest dope de jeur ,
that makes testing irrelevant is
in a way " too big to fail " .
And with any new dope before goes mainstream, need right connections to get hands on it , and timing is everything with it , being able to get that advantage over rest
In training and competition .
And connections usually means managers ,agents and one big corporation.

Absolute nonsense. Kaouch ran his mile PR (3:51) in 2007. In 2006 he ran his 1500m PR (3:31) and medaled at World Xc. He medaled in the 1500m in 05 only behind convicted drug cheat Ramzi. He was in the middle of his prime. And El G retired in ‘05 so only 2 years later. Get your facts straight.

U20 World Champion was in 1998 !!!!!!!!!!!!
In if he was a doper (EPO and what ever you imagine) why doping didn't help him to improve his times:

Ramzi was also a training partner of El G. But Innoculateur defends Ramzi, so that doesn't mean anything to him.
Also, Nijel Amos was most people's favorite to win in Tokyo last year. He is only a year younger than Korir. It's the 'end of his career' because he (finally) got busted.

Can you explain how this works logically now?
Can you explain why everyone is supposed to believe that drugs make you faster or stronger?
Kipchoge is not to big to fail. he does however have an air of humility about him that leads one to believe that he is clean. Lance never had that humble side. Grant has the humble side. I believe that the training partners of Kipchoge feel internal pressure to keep up and assist.

Because they do, Jon. That's why we have antidoping.
If the best clean athletes are beating the best dopers then there would be no reason to ban doping - it isn't performance enhancing. If you want to believe that. (Incidentally, most athletes don't - which is why they continue to dope).
