Whatever happened to Evans Rutto?
He was unbeatable for a couple of years and then nothing.

According to another poster from the Wanjiru thread, Rutto liked partying and hit the sauce real hard.
He has been confirmed many sources as a big drinker. So too has Wanjiru.
He won Ljubljana this October in 2:10:17.

I believe that was Evans Ruto, a different (and younger) runner. The two names have been confused often.
Oops. My bad. Not the same dude. Evan Ruto won Ljubljana, not Evans Rutto...
In case I can save anybody some time that I wasted - I just looked up the athlete biography of Evans Rutto (he of the 2:05:50 debut marathon) on the IAAF's site, and investigated the two most recent performances listed for him - a 1:02 half marathon in Sweden this year, and a 2:15 marathon at Toronto in 2008. Both performances appear to belong to this younger athlete, Ruto, and have been mistakenly attributed to Rutto. I've seen it happen on the IAAF site many times.
It looks like the last "real" result for Evans Rutto is the 2009 London marathon.
