Makau seemed a nice guy and a Christian. I don't think he is the type that would be said to be drinking too much

It does if you're from Makau's part of the world.

Which you've obviously never even visited.

Why babble when you don't know?

paula is too funny. she's broke she say she don't retire but don't run any race 0 race to be exact after berlin marathon 2011.

who wants to be paula friend of twitter she run 0 races. paula don't live in the present. she live on the past her 2003 world record.

until paula retire then i'll stop talking but she won't retire but don't run anything. how long until people start questions her over 365+ 365 days since berlin 2011.

fuc* paula berlin 2011 marathon is her latest race but its so old. technology is so bad.

paula not racing today tommorrow next month next year isn't anything questioning her?

Makau seemed a nice guy and a Christian. I don't think he is the type that would be said to be drinking too much let alone drink. My guess is that he became complacent and lazy after he broke the world record in 2011. Since then, his performance has gradually gone down. A DNF in London 2012, a 2:06 in Frankfurt(same race where Kipsang ran 2:03:42) in fall of 2012, a 65 half marathon in March 2013 and the a 2:11 in London 2013. That is not a good sign for him. I think Kipsang will handle both (Makau as well as world record attempt).

Kipsang ran his 2:03 in 2011, Makau won with 2:06 in 2012

yep. also frankfurt in 2012 it was 0 degrees C and a bit windy. it wasnt a crash and burn type race, he just never went for it. all things considered, his frankfurt race wasnt bad but i agree some of his other races indicate he isnt the same as berlin 2011

No, it does not. Lots of people, of any faith, are nice people, and also drink too much. All over the world.

You still don't get it! rupp-certified saladbar said exactly what I would have said. You live in your small world and assume the rest of the world think and act like your world. Makau is not from your world and apparently you have no idea how they do it in that world. Makau comes from the countryside(village if you like) and there(village) Christians do not drink period except for Catholics. Drinking is associated with non-Christians and therefore is considered sin to drink. Not that I agree with this but I cannot dispute with it either. It is a culture thing. A few "affluent" Kenyans who have grown up or lived in cities have adopted the "Western" culture of drinking whereas they are professing Christians. To get a clear picture is that at least 80 % of non-Catholic Christians do not drink. That is the part of the world Makau is coming from.

So at least 20% of them do drink. Which would support my comments above.

Have you been to the southeastern USA? Plenty of good xian folks there believe drinking in a sin, as well. And, ironically, there are also plenty of those same people who drink.

As for living in my small world, I've lived on 3 different continents, in 4 different countries, and within the USA as far afield as Alaska (now) and Georgia. I haven't lived in Africa, but I don't think that's a "small world" at all.

Somebody should perform a statistical analysis of this a few years from now!!

What's up with the 800m? Seems to be more depth than ever.

Nandrolone?

must be different drugs 800m and sprint

these africans starting to slow down all over the place

maybe a few white guys might get a chance like it was back in the day
