Torrence + Arciniaga Live Stream commentary during the trials. Partial transcript of the commentary after the Men's 5k finish below

Torrence: Thats... Thats so shocking. Iâ€¦. World Class. (Pauses)

Yeah. Experienceâ€¦ a lot, a lot of help from sources you know. Thats uh.

Arciniaga: Why would they show Ben Trueâ€™s wife like that?

Torrence: Yeah thats pretty sad.

YOU KNOW WHAT, Iâ€™M GONNA SAY IT THIS IS BULL$H!T MAN.

Like Lagat positive A sample you know what I mean. I swear to God. This is BS.

It happened in 2012. He had this CRAZY crazy change in fitness andâ€¦ This is what happens!

Like Ben True, his family, his wife, heartbroken. Heartbroken out there. As a result of someone of very very questionable, very questionable means.

Umm. We know in the 90s and early 2000s, weâ€™ve seen the results, emails, $hit was getting covered up. They even covered up the bribes being paid, I heard from multiple sources, multiple rumors that things may have happened.

The â€œClean B Sampleâ€ may have been suspect. Andâ€¦ (Shakes head) its just so frustrating to me because Lagat isâ€¦ has a smile on his face. Nicest guy in track and field. But Justin Gatlin is a nice guy. You know what I mean?

Marion Jones super nice. Uhhh. Thats how you cover it up you know? You have to bring your kids out there. Bring your family out there. And I.. I just canâ€™t help myself.

Torrence raises valid points. I don't blame him for running with Peru though. US trials are a joke.

Yup, Torrence is brain damaged.

re: Forcerunner

lol what an embarrassing rant from a has-been who trained with master doper Jama Aden.

True is as doped as the rest of them but unlike Lagat he has a crappy attitude and personality.

Lagat > True and Torrence combined

Daddy can still kick, biatches.

Shouldn't he be in Peru somewhere eating ceviche?

I think this is a lie. I'm going to delete this post in 9:40 pm ET if you dont' email me proof that this occurred.

Someone please let me know if this is a troll.

re: Brain Damaged

I'm sure he's right. Lagat is very likely a cheater.

And it's sad guys like True, Hill and Jenkins -- the future/present of American 5k running -- have to deal with this guy. Just retire and go away. It's not a race thing, it's a dishonesty thing. And get your kids off the f-ing track!!!!

But god bless him, too, ya know?

Closing in 52 at age 41? No, that's not suspicious. I'm sure that's legit.

Who actually wants to watch this expat loser cry over successful runners?

He definitely said all of this. Torrence is the new doping expert I guess.

I'm confused . . . did Lagat tell True to walk the first 1k? If he did, I could see Torrence maybe having a point here. But I doubt Lagat did, and either way True is a big boy who can make his own decisions.
