Apparently Russian doping couldn't win them medals but they could road whore successfully (along with their little buddy, Eddy H).

really surprised Kawauchi not on that list ..!?

Brett Larner just blogged about this yesterday. Kawauchi currently has 65 sub-2:20 marathons. At his rate, he might break Doug's record next year or the year after. Barring injury, Kawauchi could very well eventually hit triple digits.
