In 2022, 28 Kenyans ran between 26:54.76 (R.Yator) and 27:30.
95%of those Kenyans running low 27:00 were young Kenyan boys aged 18-23, based in Japan, where it is impossible to dope or do anything illegal. Yator 26:54, Kibet 26:55, Kiplagat 27:07, Sawe 27:09, B.Kiplagat 27:09, Masai 27:10, Rono 27:11, Ebenyo 27:11, Ruto 27:11, Kiptum 27:11, Ndiku 27:12, Sitonik 27:14, Mwangi 27:15, Kosimbei 27:15, Mburu 27:19, etc....long list. These are mostly young kids from Kenya, sons of humble Kalenjin farmers (majority) living and racing in Japan. They are all clean as whistles and legit. Impossible to dope in Japan. IMPOSSIBLE.
The point we're making is that the best athletes are clean as whistles and these manga Kenya boys in Japan are direct proof of that.
