The OP said there would be a "Lance Armstrong level bust" coming. Nothing that has happened since is even close. Lance was very possibly the most known athlete on the planet. He was known by people that weren't even fans of sports at all let alone cycling. He was known in the US, Europe, and third world African countries. Lionel Messi isn't the level he was at the time. If you asked a random 90 year old who Lance Armstrong was they'd know. My grandma couldn't name a single soccer player.
New Zealand runners even casual racing fans hasn't head or or bronze medalists from niche sports that don't even make the general sports blog don't count. I'm still waiting for anything that could be comparable to Lance Armstrong. Nothing in the thread comes close.
I don't recall posting the thread about Robertson. But it's easy to comment about doping in Kenya. It never stops. Another Kenyan runner has just been sanctioned this week.
In the old days, a decade or more ago, there would be rumors like this and then there would be nothing because of extortion, starting from the level of Lamine Diack and his son. There were also cases like the Jama Aden bust that led years and years later to nothing somehow in the Spanish courts.
One year, 34 pages on LR, and still nothing. Are going to keep waiting (a Beckett play...) or consign this speculation to the water jump of track history?
