Asbel Kiprop's comeback picking up steam? 10th at Kenyan xc Trials? Or is it a different guy with the same name?

It's another Asbel Kiprop. I'm doubtful " the real" Asbel will succeed a comeback. J.S 🇸🇪🧙‍♂️

I remember Renato Canova explaining on a thread earlier this year / last year that there was another Asbel Kiprop that was more of a long distance runner. Guessing this is him

Top-notch journalism 🙄

I'm not guessing, I know it's that long distance runner.🇸🇪🧙‍♂️

Remember when Kenya brought in a law that would prevent any athlete convicted of an anti-doping offence from ever representing Kenya again?

And now they have avoided a ban because of more empty promises.

I'm sure there was a thread earlier this year with the same topic. There appears to be another Kenyan runner by the same name. Last time we heard from (the famous) Asbel Kiprop, he was struggling with weight problems, so I doubt if it can be him.

What, you're telling me the Times doesn't crowdsource material from their comment sections?

Yeah I'm pretty sure its this Asbel Kiprop:

Video from Sotik XC a few weeks ago and it sounds like he'll be racing Corrida Internationale de Houilles this Sunday.

sorry, its at the 4:39 mark

Well obviously, as the real Kiprop sent himself to prison for doping, as he said he would.

Nice video. But did everyone have to rub it into that Dutch pilot that he came last? 😂

1 upvote and 9 downvotes. If LetsRun wants to clean up the sport they could start by cleaning the doping apologists from their site. Kenya, after 25 busts this year, have only avoided a long-overdue ban by promising World Athletics they will criminalize doping. Just more empty promises again.

The problem is not with the drugs but with the inability of your country to align more elite runners in middle/long distances.

East African have this potential. Let's face it.

So Mo Farah go in the Oubliette of your history book?

Rojo, as I heard that Brendan Frazier in new movie about a whale. But as when I watch the movie, it look like Frazier, but he much fatter. Is the real Brendun Frazier? Or someone else with his name? Please let me know ASAP

Rojo, if you want us to believe that this is a job, and not something that a trust fund baby does to fill his time... Do your job!

It's definitely not the famous Asbel Kiprop. That one has switched to the high jump.

I heard his name mentioned a number of times during the Kenyan 10K cross trials, but didn't see his distinctive look in the field. I'd like to see him back in cross-country; he was the junior world champ in Mombasa (in a runaway), and I always felt he had much talent beyond the middle distances, where he had a tendency to get tangled up and tactically outmaneuvered, even when he still ended up winning. (I'm not sure he has ever had the discipline to train hard for the 5,000m, however. Too bad. He may have been a once-in-a-generation talent.)
