As far as the liar part, it doesn't matter how long you've known him, that's just a historical fact about the running under a false flag in 2004 Olympics. Everyone knows he what he did, and that the powers that be are "too PC" (read: racist) to ever enforce the rules about it. If a white, Asian, or non-illegal alien Latino did that then the rules would be enforced. Yet, these open double standards exist, which doesn't exact assure anyone that, even if the IAAF caught him using drugs, they wouldn't tamper with the B sample to get him off.
It's up to Kenya to revoke his citizenship. It's up to Athletics Kenya and the Kenyan Olympic Committee to rescind his results from the 2004 Olympics if they wish to. They did not. If you disagree with their decision, you can take it up with them. They're headquartered in in the Riadha House, opposite Nyayo National Stadium in Nairbobi.
The idea that the IAAF would tamper with a sample to exonerate a Kenyan national, while major American and European stars are convicted of doping, is absurd. Aren't East Africans supposedly suffocating any and all interest in distance running in Europe? If anything, the IAAF would want to knock off all the major East African distance runners. Then they wouldn't have so much of a problem finding cities and federations to bid for World Cross Country, as well as the TV rights.
