AIU is cooking right now
You forgot Rutto: 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
You know how it is. “Honestly I was just doping so I could keep up with the old man in practice. But the old man is clean as a whistle. I swear.”
Letsrun, why don't you go after the suppliers?
Now that would be worthy journalism.
"There are no magic bullets"

wejo is right, but rojo doesn't want to talk about it. It's not senational enough.
Kipchoge is doped to the gills. However, he's protected and will never get caught. He's a super nice guy, without any enemies.
This post was removed.
Kipchoge the gramp is up hopefully up next. Wonder if he will retire before he gets popped
The headline is just aimed at smearing Patrick Sang and Kipchoge. Totally unprofessional and unfair coverage in my view.
With these ABP violations I wish we could get a little more transparency as the conclusions may be subjective. Hopefully not a Peter Bol EPO test repeat where they outsource to different experts later on and have to backtrack. With Kwemoi and Kipruto I would expect their mgmt may actually put in a real defense so we’ll see.
Is this really news? How many more Kenyans have to test positive before the entire country is banned? I say now is a good time.
Ultimately you ban a country IF there is a state-sponsored doping ring, they’re covering up tests, or they’re testing insufficiently. Kenya is testing a lot and catching a lot of athletes. They just busted a major doping scheme in the airport. This all seems to me like what they should be doing. The same people who think Kenya should be banned because of the doping positives also tend to think Ethiopia must be doping wildly and getting away with because of the lack of doping positives. Gotta pick a lane.
There was this rumor last year that Kwemoi had lost his contract potentially. I think he's been in Japan more where he ran for Aisan Kogyo, but I hadn't seen anything of him training with Kipchoge's group for a while nor was he featured by NN Running Team for a while. I think he'd left the group before this surfaced. Not saying he's innocent but I'd day this is a much weaker link to Kipchoge/Sang than Kacheran was.
Still listed as a member of Aisan Kogyo
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind.
Just wait half a year. You can read the details on for example Rutto on the AIU page (DT decision) - his off-score jumped from 145 to 110 in two months, and then back up to 140 two months later. He was doped all the way to HGB = 19.2 g/dL!
Also note the timeline. They provisionally banned him in April 2019, and then ruled in November 2019 that his doping started at least in May 2018.
Also interesting: his 2017 samples were both from the summer, and resembled the once from summer 2018 after doping in May 2018.
You will also note that a lot happened between finding a suspicious ABP and the actual provisional suspension, including two rounds of experts and a statement from the athlete. That does not look good for Kipruto and Kwemoi.
Why don't you do the real morally correct thing and challenge the promotion of a false concept of super human metabolism?
Can you reply honestly?
Huh? Look I’m saying I don’t have the answers but would you agree that the Peter Bol situation was handled poorly? So, all I’m saying is I hope that history doesn’t repeat itself with a different standard that can be subjective.
He actually hasn’t been part of the Kaptagat squad for all of 2023. He was not signed by the group again at the end of 2022
So it will be interesting when the ABP violations occurred. He’s had a terrible season, but as others have noted sometimes these violations go back years.
