Man there this CBS lady presenter on TV that's been trash talking Kenyans, Just because J of Rita Jeptoo's ban. I was so thrilled that a Kenyan won again. It was much like in your face bitch. I don't support Rita using drugs, but please focus on her as an individual, not all Kenya runners. Kenyans work hard, and i can guarantee you there will be other Kenyans on Bostons podium next year.

She was like we are mad and angry, because of Rita band just loved the way Caroline smiled all the way to the finish line. She knew that Ethiopian didnt have enough gas in her tank to beat her.

Great women's race and congratulations to both winners. Desisa is Ethiopia's best runner and he proved it today. He is great.

I wasn't giving a big chance but she proved her mettle.

Great resurgence and determination. I clapped for her and was on my feet for the last one minute.

Typical Ethiopia/Kenya duel.

It should be noted that Rotich trains with a small group of Kenyan runners in Santa Fe, NM. One of this group, Joseph Mutinda, was just busted for doping. I am not certain, but it is possible that the Kenyans in Santa Fe all train under the same coach, Ryan Bolton.

This from the USADA site:

"March 25, 2015.

USADA announced today that Joseph Mutinda, a Kenyan athlete in the sport of track & field, who has trained in Santa Fe, N.M. for the past several years, has admitted to the use of various prohibited substances and accepted a three-year sanction for his doping offenses."

Many here have proven incapable of seeing Kenyans as individuals, not just that presenter. Somehow, America's drug cheats don't sully the entire nation the way Rita Jeptoo did, Kenya. Was so happy for Rotich, smart racer.

Completely Incorrect! There are a couple groups of elites in Santa Fe and Caroline Rotich nor Ryan Bolton ever worked or trained with Joseph Mutinda. Get your facts straight.

re: falamangaa

What's CBS? And when do US TV presenters talk about marathon running?

Probably another of these intersex freaks that Africa specialise in, like Nyonsaba, Jelimo, Semanya
