Laura Muir is a shoo-in when it comes to females, but how about Wesley Korir in the male category? Professional runner and also an elected member of the Kenyan Parliament.

Dibaba is the only one that has ever run a faster time and is generally considered clean.
"Dibaba is .... generally considered clean" I just threw up a little bit reading that post.
This is more common in Europe, either you are in a gov't sponsored program (police/army) or you are going it alone (student/job). Very few athletes can afford to run full-time, since there are very few who are fully sponsored. Most are realistic and trying to prepare for their future outside of sports. And honestly, after you've done your two sessions a day, you can still get a lot done.

Hey this describes me too! Maybe I'm doping!
Good questions. It never hurts to ask questions, especially when you don't know.Absent evidence of any anti-doping rule violation, athletes are generally presumed to be "clean", at least by the official bodies charged with enforcing anti-doping rules.This presumption depends largely on the values, inclinations, biases, and prejudices, of the presumer, and may be a poor indicator of reality, one way or another.Jama Aden is the coach of many athletes, including several top athletes, like G. Dibaba, often training in Spain.Mo Farah has previously trained with Aden and his athletes, although the exact depth and nature of their working, and training, and personal relation is another subject of voluminous debate and speculation.Jama Aden confesses to be a big proponent of vitamin injections for fast recovery of athletes -- something corroborated by two former athletes, who also stated that they didn't really know what was in the injections. Presumably injections are more effective than oral ingestion.According to Spanish newspaper reports at the time, Jama Aden was detained and questioned related to laws in Spain for possession and trafficking of non-doping substances and endangering the health of athletes.Anti-doping tests conducted on the athletes found no adverse results, nor did they find Aden in possession of EPO or any other doping substance.This was the second "raid" conducted in two years by the Spanish "Los Mossos" against Aden and his athletes, finding, upon analysis, non-doping products.I'm not aware of any recent updates on the Spanish investigation in the last year or so, but like everyone else, am waiting for the next update.

Really? Dibaba is clean? and Jama Aden is who? and he was busted with what? Malaria medicine?

Thanks rekrunner for helping me with the truth regarding vitamin injections, but I have a problem when I enter the name of that POS in google the first links are:
"The story was reported in El PaÃs, which quoted the Catalan interior minister, Jordi Jané, as saying that the banned blood booster EPO was found in six rooms along with anabolic steroids and 60 syringes. Six doctors from the IAAF, athletics’ world governing body, and officials from the Spanish Anti-Doping Agency were also present to carry out doping controls on 25 athletes.
Two members of the Spanish Anti-Doping Agency later confirmed to the Guardian that El PaÃs’s story was correct."
etc etc
Too much smoke for VITAMINS, don't you think so?
and little different from your version of the story.
I don't give a sh.t about later stories when MONEY started to talk.
Regarding training in SAR due to summer down there, well that is legitimate reason, due to harsh UK winter, BUT how much time did Coe, Owett, Cram etc spent down there in their heydays?
What about global warming - not in UK?
Btw training in harsh condition is obviously beneficial for VO2max since Nordic guys always sky rocketing in those tests!
Maybe those harsh condition cleans well lungs ect... or it is all about VITAMINS - what a magic word.
Please tell me more about vitamins which and how much I need to take, give me a dosage rekrunner please.
You are welcome. Note, this "version" of the story doesn't really come from me, but from contemporaneous reporting by El Pais and El Confidencial. It needs an update, either from the IAAF, Los Mossos, or the Spanish courts.You are not the only one that has this problem with google. If only they could use the DailyMail reporting as evidence to sanction and prosecute Aden.Too much smoke and mirrors.

Don't run from the police in Kenya.
Kipsang is also a heavily occupied businessman who also runs for the police.
Yep! Not a good idea to run from the Kenyan police.

Laura Muir was fastest in the world at her main event last year.
Kawauchi is a very good runner and a hero to me but nowhere near Muir's level.
The answer is surely yes. Off the track, there will be plenty of examples of top field event athletes with other jobs; off the top of my head, Tom Walsh is a builder.
I think you grossly underestimate Kawauchi.
9th at worlds
almost always in the top 5-10 japanese marathoners in any given year
probably the most career sub 2:12s

Oh, I was going to go and watch this. Perhaps she is sick of losing to Kipyegon.

Are you assuming Kawauchi's gender?

Seriously? My local grocery store/super market used to have bored teenage girls who were too busy texting to serve you. They were replaced by middle aged Indian and Philipino women & self-serve machines. Being served by one of the world's best runners would be way more noteworthy.
