'Doping in Kenya is completely out of control'

Canova was right. There is no magic sauce.

Why do you political reformer wannabes avoid the issue?

They have every incentive to dope. If they get caught...so what? How are they any worse off?
What is a 2:06 Kenyan marathoner going to make? Bloody.F.All
So why not dope and get down to 2:03, where you stand a chance to make some money?

I laugh reading these stupidities.

First : I never said EPO doesn't work for Kenyans. Instead, I said "EPO doesn't work with every athlete (including white caucasic) having proper training in altitude. And for me proper training means a volume not inferior of 180/200 km per week, at specific intensity (proper training that physiologists and expert of antidoping don't know, so don't know the effect of training).

Second : Isaiah Kiplagat NEVER declared war on doping. Before London Olympics, I started to see something strange (people not involved in athletics present in the domestic road races proposing "supplements" for enhancing the performances), together with Patrick Sang, and went to meet Isaiah for explaining the problem. He told me "mzungu, this is our problem, not your", and didn't move for about two years, trying to understand how to face the situation.

Third : I went China because, during a course lasting 3 weeks in Beijing as lecturer of IAAF, the Chinese Federation asked me to become the responsible for middle and long distances, swith the specific task to design a different organization in the Country.

Fourth : Also during the period in China, I had a specific authorization from David Okeyo and Isaiah Kiplagat for continuing coaching in Kenya, with a document inviting the various athletic responsibles to collaborate with me, under technical and organizative point of view, because always my role was to try to improve in these two situation (and I continue to go Kenya for coaching athletes and creating new coaches, despite the fact I'm almost 80).

There is really somebody who doesn't have anything to do, if in 2024 discover a fake news of 11 years before... where it's written I still am in China (my contract terminated 9 years ago...)

So where does the 3 minute improvement come from? Explain the Bioenergetics?

Anyone?

I've been posting here as long as Renato and not one person has ever answered this question in real Bioenergetic terms.

Why? Because they can't. They don't know.

A lot of words here. But the truth is that you’ve spent a lot of time deflecting about doping in athletics. You did imply that EPO would not work for top-tier athletes.

What we’re seeing with OOC testing shows how deep and prevalent the doping problem is in East Africa and you’ve been a denier all along. Just stop trying to pretend you were on the right side all along.

I don't beliieve every Kenyan is doping but I'd target testing of every 2:02:xx or faster runner the most

That idiot author should be sued by Renato.

I'm sure the Chinese are as clean as the Kenyans.

The article gets to the point eventually. What is the proper deterrent for doping? It seems the current 4 years with 3 for admission might not be enough. Perhaps the number should be 6 and 5. Where it gets murky is if the violation is less clear-cut. But right now Kelsall admits that AK does seemingly do what it needs to be in compliance. They’re administering a lot of tests, busting many athletes, and educating the athletes. Unfortunately there may always be a group of naive, greedy, desperate or easily manipulated athletes who will dope. And you can hope that the middlemen pushing doping start to get caught or lose access to athletes.

Are you really trying to suggest that if I can't describe the bioenergetics doping in exact detail, then it isn't happening?

You are the apotheosis of bad faith. A troll. Go away.

You don't understand the Bioenergetics. That's my point. Basic Biology.

How about this; Basic Biology gets taught in Schools? So then young people can ask you mealy mouthed PED endorsers some awkward questions that you are afraid to answer?

Like "where is the magic metabolic boost supposed to come from"?

You can't say "more oxygen delivery" without explaining that Bioenergetically.

It's a really obvious question that everyone ignores. So please stop acting like you're trying to police the sport, you're not, that's disingenuous. You've had enough years to address the issue.

+1

You can't change Basic Biology with Applied Chemistry. Obviously. Ever. Any way.

Also there is no doping in Kenya. At all. Ever. Anywhere.

Don't you idiots listen to Rekrunner?? There are only minor filing issues, false positives from using supplements and going to a hospital and eating beef and getting Covid (IF that exists!).

Avoiding the question.

Next...

The people downvoting you seem to be in favor of the writer lying about Renato.

Take the money out of the picture and you take doping out of the picture. Make all forms of running for T-shirts and Medals. Let sponsors take the risk if there's to be money at the fishline. Let their sponsors suffer a joint blackeye.

Remember, amateurism is tantamount to racism. Taking money out of the sport means that only rich, (mostly) white Americans and Western Europeans will train and compete…

Maybe, but less cheating would maybe make the sport more moral. The Africans can still compete in the Enhanced Games. To be honest Kenya should have already been diverted from the Olympics to the Enhanced Games. They can still earn money from the sport in those games but in a non-hypocritical manner.
