He also declined on the track and then left for the roads as soon as EPO testing was introduced (for the track). He athletically peaked at around 19 on the track, and yet was dominating the marathon in his mid-thirties.

Yeah, hes pretty much up there with Bekele and El g in the 5000m in 03/04, but after the first EPO test in 05, his performance took a mysterious dive.. He used to close a 12:52 in 52-53 to win the WC, but in Beijing, he couldn't even break 13 with a 59 last lap.
Look at it this way. He was unbeatable. Up to a pretty late age (so age is probably not the *only* reason for his decline).
He literally started declining when they started busting Kenyans on a weekly basis.
Did he get scared and went off the juice?

I don’t know if Kipchoge dopes, but your timing is all over the place. The AIU has been busting Kenyans frequently well before the start of Kipchoge’s decline that began in the spring of 2023 with Boston presumably. 2021-22 he ran a WR, and won 4 of 4 marathons including Olympic gold. He is 39 officially but the consensus is he is actually 41.

So was Bekele clean then?
Oh you bet sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bekele's space-time history was more consistent and predictable without sudden shifts and abrupt changes in his preferences, behaviors and career approaches on the tracks, XC and roads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even his injuries were so predictable with predictable time frames and return to form (which he never did on the track which was PREDICTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Everything about Bekele was PREDICTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But Kipchoge's was shock after shock after shock performances ALL IN HIS MID 30s LOL!!!!!
How can this be folks, pls tell me!!!!!!! Impossible!!!!!!
Haile Geb and Hicham El King Guerrouj were also all PREDICTED space-time thus all clean as a whistle!!!!!!!!!!
All with consistent space-time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
