Also, to the French media and establishment, Moroccan and Algerian immigrants are white.

I can assure you that Maghrebi immigrants are not considered White by anybody in France and definitely not by any kind of eshtablishment (it is irrelevant since ethnic stats are officialy banned in France).

Jake Wightman is far more likely to win the 1500m than Jakob. Even Jakob's brother Fillip is more likely to win than Jakob.

Seriously just go and post this crap somewhere else

Lol.

Didn't see the race, but he obvioiusly must have had a problem. Also, Kyle Langford is obviously a championship runner. Nobody outside hardcore athletics fans had even heard of him before the world championships, and nobody was picking him to get silver for at the Commonwealths here except me. He also has the difficult task of peaking twice this season.

Correct. The future Olympic champ has had the problem to run on high school level.

Oh dear. He does have his work cut out. I think a good draw in Tokyo might give him a 50-50 chance of making the semis.

In all seriousness, I think Brandon McBride could be a genuine medal contender in Tokyo. Even with Kenyans in the field. He’s so consistent.

Really? 1:48 the new High School level since Max Burgin I take it?

Why don't you wait at least half way through the season before you write off somebody who came 4th in the WC at 21 and narrowly missed Gold in the Commonwealths?

He's still ranked the 8th non-Kenyan at this stage of the season and beaten 3 of the 7 above him (all older than him).

Nijel Amos came last in the Commonwealth Final in 1:48, yet he's already been tipped for Gold in this thread.

Nijel has also run the fastest 800m time by a non-Kenyan this year.

If Kenya gets banned the medals will go to Turkey, Bahrain and the USA. Obvious initt?

Now if all natives of Kenya were covered by the ban it would make things more interesting plus we wouldn't have to watch that nobhead Chelimo.

there are no clean athletes at the top,in any event,in any country .theyre all on various cocktails of drugs,from steroids,to hgh,to epo,even the ones assumed to be clean .ban kenya,usa,ethiopia,jamaica,britain,morocco and some other countries where doping is expected,systematic,and ridiculously widespread,then you might have a half fair competition.of course youre right about the powers behind sport being corrupt and crooked,but its not just third world countries getting away with it.russia was the scapegoat,but i guarentee doping is ten times worse in usa.

Depends on adequate drug testing. Kenyans will probably lose at least 50% or more of their medal contenders if they have to face out of season testing at the level of Europeans, Americans, Japanese, and others. Right now it is still very unfair. But as it stands right now a 50/50 chance of making the final is more realistic.

Why do you pretend to be a Kenyan btw?

Here's my prediction for Jakob at the 2020 Olympics:

Actually he’s gonna front-run a 3:25, eliminating a doped WR, and singlehandedly end the era of sit-and-kick championship races. In the semi.

And then he’ll trip in the final.

It's looking inevitable that Kenya will be banned by the time Tokyo comes around. Assuming this happens, who are your picks for gold medals at this point?

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.

Like doper Galen Rupp. Likely doper Evan jager, and a young man from a skandanavian country. No skandanavian has ever doped.

Why do so many here think this? I’d genuinely like to know.

Well if everyone is doping to the extent they feel they can get away with, it makes sense to ban countries like Kenya where it's virtually impossible to test athletes properly or to the same standards (remoteness, corruption, backwardness etc), not countries like the USA or GB which, at least in theory, should be able to provide adequate testing (and for the most part appear to do).

Well obviously Kinyamel is overated and definitely not the new Rudisha if a 1:48 guy (according to some of you racists) can push him to the line in a international championship final just a couple of months ago.

Yes, I was thinking the same whilst cheering Rupp on to a 2:06 the other week. He definitely looked slower, no doubt off the sauce. As for Jager, he just ran a 13;20 5000, doesn't look good for the season ahead. And Jakob? Weren't they talking this kid up big time just a year or two ago and now he's plodding along to a 3:52 mile at the ripe old age of 17?

Well, speaking personally, I'd say it's a few things.

For a start, every Kenyan I've ever heard or read, speaks or writes in comically mangled English, whereas you appear to have a native grasp of the language.

Secondly, your extreme doping apologism for Kenyan runners. Looking at Kenyan media and even comments from other Kenyan runners, it seems nearly everybody there is aware of the huge doping problem and the disgrace and shame it's bringing upon Kenya and Kenyan running.

Thirdly, your extreme anti-white hate and in particular, anti-British attitudes, seem like a caricature of what a white, suburban Anglo SJW would imagine a Kenyan to be like.

Fourthly, you don't appear to have ever made any reference to a personal involvement in running, apart from being a fan ( I could be wrong, but in my time here I haven't seen it in any of your posts). I find it hard to believe a genuine athletics mad Kenyan wouldn't have mentioned some personal anecdote of participation in competitive running.
