First off, Kiprop is not less suspicious than Rupp or Jager. He is a confirmed doper. Second, Henrik is not Jakob. In any case, it has already been stated that Henrik's "suspicious" values came from increased hematocrit than normal and that was after his altitude training. Uh, it's normal that happens to sea level origin runners. That conspiracy theory has already been debunked. The brothers are certainly less suspicious than any of the other top 20 runners.
1) Correct, but I was talking about how he was classified by the IAAF in 2016.
2) Correct, but I responded to the poster who talked about "the whole family".
3) Incorrect. You cannot use altitude to explain such a huuge increase that would lead to "likely doping". I already provided the evidence via the WADA rules:
"it is highly unlikely that it may be the result of a normal physiological or pathological condition", because reacting to altitude (which is noted on the test form of course) would be "a normal physiological or pathological condition".
Furthermore, if altitude would cause a "likely doping" label, that list would be 100x as long.
My conclusion remains: So while that is not enough proof to ban them, they are "highly unlikely" to be clean.
