So Shorter shouldn't be concerned about the doping at AW because it happened after his prime? And the Kenyan scandal? Hes back in his prime again?
This is what I mean by hypocrites in the US.
Your view that Shorter speaking out against doping is hypocritical has already been dealt with.
Secondly, an argument stands on its merit. The person making it is irrelevant. If you have something against Shorter, pretend your grandmother is the one making the argument.
What we know:
Matthew Kisori, a sub 59 minute half-marathon runner, and also from the same camp as Rita Jeptoo, was busted for doping. He said that doping is rampant in kenya.
Renato has been saying that this is untrue and overblown. He also says that epo does not work on the kenyan marathon runners.
Drug testing is much more difficult to carry out in kenya than in developed countries because there is no lab in kenya to test samples collected.
This region (Iten specifically) happens to produce a disproportionate number of top level distance runners.
Rita Jeptoo, one of the most successful kenyan marathon runners in recent times, tested positive for epo.
This seems to suggest that, at the very least, one person does not believe Renato's opinion that epo does not work on kenyan marathon runners.
It seems reasonable to question what is going on in kenya and that wada officials need to investigate.
Regarding the above, to what exactly do you have an objection (besides "hypocrisy")?
