Ekiru’s performance at the time placed him sixth on the all time list. Surely this raises eyebrows around performances that are similar and faster? Not least with the fact that,
”The AIU has requested that the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya also refer the senior doctor to Kenyan criminal authorities for further investigation.”
It is hard ( and getting harder) to believe that many, if any of today’s athletic performances are achieved without “help”.
People say that athletics need these superhuman performances in order to bring the spectators and sponsors in. But as the following of the sport seems to be dwindling and every new drugs scandal seems to hasten its demise, is this really the case? Maybe we should look for other solutions to increase interest?
