Sorry, I never trot out any of these "cliches", beyond living and training at altitude. Anything beyond that has always been your misunderstanding, if not complete fabrication.

Because I know you love to ignore facts I'll pull the tidbits from that article for everyone to see how wrong you are. Africans are humans, just like Europeans. Some like running, some get sick of running after doing it all their career (heard of retirement????) and some just don't like that lifestyle that much.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has stated many times he's not that fond of snooker but he's good at it.
Although he has called it quits, Gebrselassie still runs twice a day and regularly finds himself in the gym. Last week, he says, he ran a total of about 90 miles.
“Running is just addictive, I’m telling you,” Gebrselassie said. “I do my morning session and in the afternoon, I get in and I have to go to the gym. I sweat enough in the morning. My body still tells me ‘What are you doing here? Go there and sweat again.’”
“Even coming Sunday, I wish I was running here [in New York City] as a normal jogger,” Gebrselassie said
Just F off
How somebody can be so limited...?
Go get a life kid.

As I said I don't have a child, but a person who would threaten to harm a person's child simply for disagreeing with them on a forum regarding the extent of Kenyan doping, does need to be looked at by the police.
Wow. That wasn't meant as a threat, dude. I apologize. I was piling on the running joke about the deadbeat stuff. My bad. I definitely don't think you should be identified! Yikes...

And just for the record, Corbett, I'm not the guy who called for you to be outed. That's wrong and I apologize for my joke. I didn't even think it would be taken as a threat. Sorry, dude, I really do apologize.

Anthony Whiteman ran 11 seconds faster than anybody else aged 45-49 in the world, and 20 seconds faster in both the 1500 and Mile.
In the 800, 1500, 5000, and 10000 I can only see one African (a Moroccan at 35th or something in the 800m).
Yet this is the age group that would have been in their prime in the EPO era, when the senior ranking lists and Olympic and world finals were totally dominated by Africans.
O.K. so clearly Masters running isn't big in Morocco or Kenya, but you'd expect a few names in the lists surely. At a minimum it shows Africans don't run for the love of the sport but simply for the money.
https://www.mastersrankings.com/rankings/I’m sure some people know who Coevett is; I feel he and others like it don’t deserve to be anonymous because of the nonsense they spew. Can someone disclose who this is?..
This is not cool at all. I don't support this. I think my joke was in poor taste and was written in a careless way that made Coevett truly uncomfortable and I'm sorry for that. Not what an argument about doping or even internet racism should ever lead to...

In future, I'm going to just randomly post your name, just so you have something to look for each day. You're quite good at popping up on schedule.
Why are you apologising to this guy? He is obviously delusional, cannot even connect two posts together...it seems pretty obvious to me that you referred to the 'deadbeat dad' joke.
But seriously, why is this even a thread or a question?
I get that this dude is extremely racist, and for that alone he should out himself...his choice. Say the things you want to but put controversial stuff under your name otherwise you are just a racist troll.
As an African myself, I din't believe in the genetic superiority thing...give the young aussie AFL (rules football) the same money and opportunities in athletics instead then you would see a bunch of them knocking out 13:00 5km...its all about lifestyle and opportunity, and that applies to the so called 'stupidity' comment as well...maybe it is ignorance as ignorant as Americans that do not seem to know geography...or is that by admission 'stupidity of Americans ' too?
As just one example of a Kenyan given educational opportunities, the very best forensic scientist in the field of paint fingerprinting is not on your CSI show, he is a Kenyan that solves your terrorism problems.
Your best concussion research doctor is an African...maybe the OP should go and see him , perhaps that's his issue. There must be some reason for the obsessive madness.
I don't like Coevett. But it's not like what I wrote was a reasoned refutation of his ideas. That's what you did. I wrote a lazy, azzhat joke. Yeah, it's obvious read in context that it's not a threat but it was still stupid. It doesn't make Coevett right to admit that I wrote a dumbazz joke. So, yeah, I apologize. I'll let people like you engage and refute him on a higher level.
Good timing for this post but I note that Ezekiel Kemboi has entered the 1500 and 3000SC at the world masters in Malaga. Can’t see anyone beating him!

Running for fun is largely something that wealthy people can do. When you are busting your butt hours on end just to put food on your table, there is little time for something as frivolous as running for fun.

Huh? I'm low-income and find time to run. I just don't have the dough to sign up for many races these days since so many cost an arm and a leg. Running is cost effective for low-income people.

I think you inadvertently supported that posters points. Whilst running is free, and I'm sure many Africans run for fun, competing as a master is not free.
Consider the World Masters champs in 2016 were in Perth, and last year they were in Daigu, and all the athletes tend to be entirely self funded, maybe it's not so inaccurate to say it's a pastime enjoyed seriously only by the wealthy.

Dude, take a breath. What would you achieve by calling the police? What are you going to say to them? Asking for someone to identify you is not a crime. Also, sort of funny that you want identifying information about someone because they asked that you be identified.
As discussed on he other thread and here, there is simply no incentive for many former elite or sub elite Africans to run as masters athletes.
Let's expose Coevett!!!
Boots on the ground!!!?

Almost certain in another thread Coevett wanted to uncover my identity after he decided I was a doper. Very funny.
