If Kenya gets banned...who are your Gold medal tips for Tokyo?

If Kenya gets banned, all the medals will literally go to Ethiopia. Do people realise that Bekele will get gold in the marathon.

You're both wrong.

If Kenya gets banned it would stimulate the Morroccan government into once more spending 32% of its annual GDP on an elite training program for middle distance runners, with high tech labs enabling the most advanced EPO masking possible. The emergence of at least one or two new El Gs by Tokyo would almost be guarenteed. Sub 3:24 might become a reality in 2020.

1500 : Abdelati Iguider

Marathon : Abdelmajid El Hissouf

3000m Steeple : Soufiane El Bakkali

Funny thread - are you guys dreaming or trolling?

It's still two years away, but my favourites for Gold in the men's middle and long would be :

800m : Kyle Langford

1500m : Jakob Ingebrigsten

5000m : Jakob Ingebrigsten

10000 : Alex Yee

Marathon : Galen Rupp

3000m Steeple : Evan Jager

Also, there's a good chance Kenyan times will continue to drop dramatically over the next two years with increased testing and the threat of a federation suspension, so these could be favourites for gold even if Kenya is given another chance.

This post is embarrassing, stop dreaming.

I'm British and this post makes me cringe.

I think they got more EPO upstairs then there is sugar on a candy cane.

Kenya and Ethiopia should both be barred from future IAAF competitions, at least until the systematic doping programmes are eradicated and the Italian coaches have been removed.

Please explain the "the systematic doping programmes" you reference? Any details and evidence would be much appreciated!

You haven't heard? This is one of the most systematic programs and doesn't require a lot of overhead. The supplier is located right across from their National stadium....very convenient.

Oh...c'mon; there's no controversial or heating topics to discuss, so what's wrong with a little fun? ?

Lol, yea right, you delusional Africa hater. If you think it's the drugs in Kenya and Ethiopia are the sole reason for their success, you're idiot. Plain and simple.

In addition, There are various non-white runners for countries other than Kenya and Ethiopia that would crush the people you listed. Paul Chelimo, Shadrack Kipchirchir, El Bakkali, Donovan Brazier, Justyn Knight, Japanese marathoners, Mo Farah. That's just off the top of my head.

You're a borderline white supremicist troll that should be banned.

Exactly. The dullard is just trying to get a rise out of people for jollies because he’s a simple man.

No, it's doping apologist facist Marxists like you who should be banned.

Paul Chelimo crushing Jakob? Is that the same Paul Chelimo who Jakob just crushed into the dust at barely 17 a couple of weeks ago?? Jakob's likely to be running sub 3:30 and sub 13:00 come Tokyo, and Chelimo will be 29 and finding it more and more difficult to do his winter topups back home in Iten.

Presumably you think the likes of Liz Mccolgan should be banned from here if they ever show up for suggesting Kenya be suspended?

Now I know that you are just a troll. Kyle Langford and Alex Yee?
