Let's see, Kenya has been kicking ass at distance running since Mexico '68. For more than four decades now, westerners have been trying to figure out why this young, poor East African country, which has no business defeating the bigger, richer nations (which are the only ones that matter, really). Is it genetic? (why just Kenya & Ethiopia?) Is it the altitude? (Hello Nepal); Ugali? (Eeew. Tastes like cement, why not just eat super sized Burgers and chips or Pizza with extra cheese like normal 'mericans?), oh, I know, they're so poor they have to run to school (Paul Tergat's dad used to drop his son at school in his car a whole 500 metres away because the boy loved to ride). Wait, we have it, they must be cheating and the sports bodies have been arm twisted into letting their cheats slide because this East African nation has so much more power than the whole of Europe and America combined. Please, do us favour.
