Now that Lagat is a US citizen was he clean?

Propesterous! Lagat is the most tested athlete of all time and is 100% clean. I'd stake my reputation and bet my paycheck and my families home and retirement accounts on it.

Oh, wait, that's Lance Armstrong...sorry.

A lot of people on these boards seem to think there is 'industrial scale' doping in East Africa, and that the reason for this regions athletes being so far ahead is the illegal practices carried out by unscrupulous agents and managers. When Lagats 'false positive' came out he was slammed on thse boards as a cheat, 'just like all those other africans', well now he's a US citizen and so far there has been little talk of how people feel about this, in terms of his somehwat tarnished past.

That's because whenever anyone talks about the Politically Correct crowd calls them a xenophobic racist.

Back that up. There are plenty of people of different ethnic backgrounds who question the success of Lagat. There are plenty of people who question the success of Radcliffe and a plethora of European athletes. Just because one poster said it may be racist to question the success of African runners doesn't mean there is some kind of witch hunt on the issue.

Regardless of what they say about his EPO test being 'spoiled', which does not explain the synthetic EPO in the other test, many people look upon him as being a likely cheat...

Will taht now change?

Is your Mom clean?
