True. The E. Africans in general have been avoiding out of season testing and spot tests for decades. It's a joke, it's ruined the sport in many ways. They have a lot of talent, but they also have a lot, scores, of cheats. Combine this with the obvious age cheating in the junior ranks and it's a worse problem than most people realize. Time will tell if the sport can be repaired.
Rosa and Hermens are two of the dirtiest sob's in the sport. It's a shame what they've gotten away with. Geb? Talented. Doped to the gills. He and his cohorts running sub 13 to finish up that 10k. LOL
Political Correctness saved Lagat when he tested positive. Those of us who worked in the media when Ngeny "won" his gold in the 1500 are well aware of the shenanigans that went on when he tested positive for PEDs, and the IAAF and IOC pushed it under the rug "for the good of the sport" and because Kenya is such a poor country. This happens a lot for certain third world countries and athletes, such as Cuba, Kenya, Ethiopia etc. Ngeny's performances dropped off, and that was blamed on an auto accident. Sure. Anything you say buddy.
again, I'm talking about the current era. Lagat tested poz in 2003.
If (hypothetically) you were really a journalist, and you really had evidence that Ngeny was doping, and you really didn't present those facts to the running community, then you are just as guilty as the IAAF and the IOC.

shipping in a testing kit doesn't prove otherwise, but we need to respect that of him and sorry, anyone could have done that especially When one of your greats has doped, you fine yourself not believing anyone. Rosa has invested tremendously in Kenyan athletics and bringing in a testing kit is understood. I personally thank him for wanting to be part of making the sport clean.
Ken, you seem like a nice trusting fella, unlike some of us here on the LRMB. We're a jaded cynical lot, often with good reason, because we've heard these sort of statements many times before and found out it was all BS. Some of us would argue that Rosa is bringing in a "testing kit" so his athletes don't get pinged because they've stuffed up their PED protocols.
You're right "Rosa has invested tremendously in Kenyan athletics...", so would he say or do anything to protect that investment? Rightly or wrongly there just seems to be something really suspicious about Italian agents, doctors and coaches.

Ok so, Hermens and Geb are rotten you ... so tell us how you know this. A a hunch? Disbelief in his performances? Do you have a personal connection to the sport that placed you in a position to know this first or at least second hand? Or are you just pontificating from the sidelines. I would seriously like to know how you know Geb is a cheater.

in JRs similar goat photo the roles are reversed
This is a story that Al Jazeera put out two years ago:
That was 8 people and two years ago. Track and Field News a couple of months ago linked a Kenya media article that mentioned that 30 Kenyans had tested positive in the last 2 years.. You cannot even compare this number with sprinters (Gay and his coach, Powell, Sherone Simpson). This is on the same scale as all the athletes that have EVER tested positive in USA Track and Field (it is far worse than Balco ever was), and it doesn't even count the Russians, Turks, Salazar and is slimy crew.... You can only compare this with Tour De France (more endurance "athletes").
Is there a SINGLE elite distance runner that is clean? At this point I doubt it, and if you think any of Salazar's crew are clean, you aren't playing with a full deck. Look at the people they beat and apply the Lance test.
