Biological passport, stricter testing at major champs, especially Rio, London, and now Australia. Plus, he must be pushing 30 now. Having to cut back on the EPO and other stuff in your late 20s can't be easy.
I tipped Kyle for a medal. Great runs from Matthews, Whiteman, and Mathas too.
He's probably the most naturally talented 800 guy we've had since Curtis Robb. Just turned 22 and I believe he went all in on athletics fairly late too. Blazing kick. If he had more confidence in himself and went a bit earlier he would be both a World Championship medallist and Commonwealth champion now.
Brits, Europeans, Australasians, and Americans on an upward trajectory, Kenyans going down fast. North Africans not a factor at all now with better testing. If George Mills and Max Burgin continue their progress (Mills has to come back from a very unfortunate injury), then this could be the start of a new Golden Era for the Brits.
