The German journalist.

Shalane Flanagan and whoever else.

Barrack Hussein (was attacked today by I believe a US Congressman.

Flanagan was not trash talking. This is all typical Internet junk to generate controversy where there is none.

The ironic thing is that there never ever was one. I'm sure kiplagat has learned her lesson now to include the countries of EVERY slower runner other than Kenya for respect, not just the ones she mentioned, lest someone gets offended at not being included.

I am here to race for three months then I have to go home, the embassies do not let us stay any longer in the US or we would take all your money. So right now I have internet.

You must be going to the wrong embassy - a professional athlete visa is for 5 years. The B visa (which could have been for 3 months) is virtually never granted these days.

In other words - you are not a Kenyan.

Really! Is she Jewish or not? Simple question.

There is a difference between being a liar and being misinformed. Lying requires intentional abuse of known facts. Being misinformed is a matter of opinion getting in the way of factual information. The problem wih your post is you assume "Trollism" is intentionally abusing known facts to mislead others to believe an outcome that that is a known falsehood...I.e. Lying. But, based on your over the top reaction, I would naturally assume your post about Kenyans falls in the category of protesting TOO much. That actually makes you look more guilty. I have to wonder now whether you might be trying to hide something. In any event, there is no accounting for how far a person is willing to go to be the best. I don't put cheating past anyone.......even Kenyans. Deal with it.

Nice generalization. You are probably one of those D-Grade Kenyan Runners with shit racing tactics who show up and claim $100 for winning Baloney Bob's Meat Packing 5K race for Juvenile Diabetes on the weekends. In turn, you probably aren't given those nice PED's your A-Grade runners are given to smash us in the elite races.

You're probably one of those talentless Americans who ran for 10 years because daddy and the high school gym coach couldn't fit them in another sport. Why don't you stop hating on us and go do your 14 minute 5ks in peace. You are a disgrace to Americans and you feed the stereotype of Americans as all-talk-no-action-lazy bums who hate what they can't achieve.

Be more gracious to us for allowing you to even race in our country.[/quote]

Oh puh lease. So you have like 2 good marathons, 2 ok meets and maybe 5 talented distance runners. It wouldn't matter much in the grand scheme of athletics if you shut your doors. Borrow a leaf from soccer. By far the most popular sport in the world. The rest of the world does not need the involvement of America... It does very well without it. So you be gracious that you have such talented and hard working human beings running on your soil. Even though some do it for the money, you should be thankful that they do it. Your few talents would never have been pushed to their limits and you wouldn't even know what it looks like to run some of these phenomenal times.

Liar! You do not have one IOTA of proof we are cheating.

*sigh*

Delilah Asiago, Pamela Chepchumba, Susan Chepkemei, Lydia Cheromei, Simon Kemboi, David Munyasia, Elizabeth Muthuka and John Ngugi.

That's eight cheaters, right there.

Shalane will get trounce

You mean "trounced". Otherwise, you're saying that there's a product called trounce, and that Shalane will purchase some in an indeterminate future.

Yes, she is part of the large contingent of Irish American Jews.

If you think to fight through it on the internet, you're fighting a losing battle.

Here in the West, children post 15 internet comments every morning before going to school and another 15 after being driven home in a comfy school bus. The combined effect of living at medium altitude and a carb-rich diet favor the emergence of world class internet trolls.

To become a man in my tribe, you have to gull a Kenyan into having a nervous breakdown on internet forums, losing all sense of perspective and grammar, and wiping out the exclamation mark key on his keyboard. And show no pain while doing it. All the while playing video games.

At last, I call myself a man.

And there's nothing Flagpole can do about it.

I read through all of the stupid BS in the last 2 pages and was rewarded with this little gem of a post.

Nicely Done.

Moron.

I can't speak for the others but Lydia Cheromei was taking fertility drugs. She was trying to have babies and was not racing at the time. She had a baby eight months later. Bad test.

I don't even know why white people try to compete on the track against blacks,they have no chance whatsoever.Blacks are simply superior athletes.
