How Kelvin Kiptum died: The inside story of star marathoner’s final hours. Kiptum had at least 2 beers on the night he died

Of course if they have anything resembling dram shop laws in Kenya the waiters could have every incentive to lie.

Is the toxicology report ever going to be made public? Everything else is just speculation.

RIP KK

I knew it, I wrote back on a previous Kiptum thread that he was obviously drinking and driving and I got down voted. I am yet again vindicated.

Are we really going to put this cloud over this man? Come on most of us, if not all of us that drink even occasionally have driven after a couple beers. Don't label him incorrectly just like it wasn't fair how Steve Prefontaine was labeled when alcohol was in his system when he died. All of us probably have had at least one incident that was a split second from death, whether it's a deer crossing rhe road, another driver etc etc

What difference does any of this make?

you know you are in a running nation when they refer to your walk as a 'gait'

if he was drunk the other people in the car who died and were injured could sue

you guessed and got lucky. any blackjack player can do that

Gossip

Will the toxicology report show any traces of peds?

Release the CCTV footage, stills, or it's just speculation. The Nation is obviously out to make money with this report.

Of course it is also worth noting, since we are trying to be factual here, that Kelvin’s father NEVER actually said his son had never had a drop of alcohol. What he said was that “everything I taught Kelvin, he obeyed and followed them to the letter. Ever since I was born, I have never tasted alcohol. This was an advice I was given by my parents, which I adhered to and passed down the same to Kelvin.” Now this proud father may have been speaking about the time when he was raising Kelvin. His son went on be the fastest marathoner we have ever seen, and he may have later tasted alcohol, but let us not imply the father was either dishonest or incorrect, because he may have been neither as he was speaking of the time when he was raising his son.

Ummmmmm no. Just no. Please do not post this nonsense.

Why? It's true.

People are FAR more likely to have an accident not concentrating due to their phone, stereo, sat nat.

That is NOT what you posted above. You said 6-8 beers improves concentration.

Not at all.

I said if you know you're over the limit you'll be using driving-test levels of concentration to not have an accident

I am not promoting drink driving.

The issue is reaction time and alcohol has a significant adverse effect on this.
