Say it ain't so, Asbel.
"World and Olympic 1500m champion Asbel Kiprop has been accused of kidnapping a minor, brandishing a pistol and threatening to kill a woman he has had a relationship with for half a decade."
The guy has been married to her for a while. I knew about it from reading from the press.
I never knew how young she was.
That in itself might not be the tragedy here.
It is the other stuff.
Nice headline 6 years late.
How old was Asbel 6 years ago?
It's the other stuff that's the problem.
Would never dope though. Too nice and smiley for all that kinda evil stuff, just like all Kenyans. Apart from the ones who got caught - too much influence from 'outsiders' caused them to stray.
What the hell, bro? Not a good situation, to say the least.
Yeesh. Ugly situation. Hopefully its not swept under the rug.
I'm pretty sure the Kenyan press says whatever they want just for reads

You have a one track mind.
I was wondering what happened to Sammary Cherotich. She was very promising and soundly beat Jordan Hersey at the world youth championships. I expected a lot from her. Looks like Asbel ruined her life. Assuming this story is legit.
A well-informed source told me that Asbel got mad because the girl threatened to reveal his EPO use.

Nice troll but..............Instead of dumping her, he would be paying her good money to be quiet.

Correct, his moral compass simply would not allow him to dope.
This sounds like nothing but a custody battle. Until anything is proved or proven probable, its a bunch of he-said-she-said. Of course, its Kenya so it sounds outrageous to us.
My prediction is that this is the last we'll hear of it. Kemboi might still be stabbing people, Kiprop might still be beating bouncers, the OPjt might still be doping according to the Bowerman TC, the Bowerman TC might still be not winning medals according to the OPjt, and any of this stuff may continue to have never actually happened.
Who cares? Lets talk about something else.

good idea, lets talk about Colorado! I hear they did a workout differently than in running with the buffaloes this year.
At what mile does Kara drop out of NYC?
The Standard is a rag that should be taken with a pinch of salt. However, it does seem like Asbel ruined the girl's life and career.
This is the 3rd legal issue that has come up concerning Kiprop and this one will be like the other two...much to do about nothing. The Kenyan legal system don't take domestic issues seriously and Kenya never prosecutes it's star athletes. With out a doubt, this story will go away and Kiprop will be back competing...mark my words.
Nice of you to share your expertise on the Kenyan legal system without ever having even been to Kenya.
