Another Kenyan Charged With Doping

It wasn't the IAAF that started shining the light on doping in Kenya. I'd say that Seppelt was instrumental in this. And Ethiopia wouldn't let a journalist roam as free there.

Correct without Seppelt, Kiprop would still be prancing around Monaco in 3:26, Bett would be running 1:42, Rosa would be viewed as a genius, Russian women would be keeping up with Caster and everyone on here would believe Renato's nonsense that epo doesn't work for the marathon.

Let's get real here. I think at this stage we have to admit two things.

1 - Most Kenyan elite runners are doping.

2 - Testing standards are getting better (or less pathetic), and most will/are getting caught.

Rubbish! Kenya has more elite mid/long distance runners than the rest of the world put together and busts are till under 1%. This Cyrus Rutto person is a nobody, unknown even on LetsRun, wouldn’t recognise him in a lineup (I mean, doped his way to 13th at the worlds? 😆 don’t hold your breaths for Kiprop style headlines in Kenyan media). But that won’t stop Kenya-obsessed bottom feeder racist coloniser Coevett using these inevitable lower tier busts to smear every Kenyan runner including David Rudisha to Eliud Kipchoge (already the most tested athletes in the world) and Coach Patrick Sang. Deplorable. Also, given that this is an ABP violation, I wouldn’t consider it ‘new’ per se or happening after doping controls and education have been improved in Kenya.

Boeting is right though, the AIU has disproportionately targeted Kenya to the extent that the much, much more sophisticated dopers in Western countries have been given free rein. No one is trying to catch them which is why they would have us believe that PED usage in Western Europe and North America is at 0%. Laughable! I say testing in those countries doesn’t work and it’s time they were stepped up to Kenyan levels and standards.

---

EK pops his head up again with the western conspiracy theory. Face the facts EK, PED usage is rampant in Kenya. Spend more of your energy and imagination on cleaning up Kenyan athletics.

---

I believe doping in pill 💊 obsessed America and science 🧪 driven Western Europe is near UNIVERSAL. But how many have been caught in recent years? A few? No, NONE! ZERO! NADA! RIEN! NIENTE! They don’t even have the decency to throw in a some token busts to pretend their systems are working somewhat. Not a single doper in cultures where neighbourhood gyms are saturated pharmaceuticals? HA! Do me a favour.

Kenyan controls are clearly working. Your doping systems, on the other hand, are BROKEN evidenced by lack of results. And that’s the truth!

Not every country can afford their own USADA. Madagascar doesn't have a national anti-doping agency. Going to ban all athletes from there? When there's no local anti-doping agency, foreign testers are flown in to test athletes in the testing pool.

---

Yes illegal performance enhancing drugs are apart of sport including Kenyan distance running. And yes the Kenyan federation has to continually improve their testing and detection. But too many Americans jump to an extreme conclusion that ALL Kenyan runners are doping. That African distance running dominance is ALL based on cheating. I believe this argument is put forward not out of fairness to the sport but as an attempt to justify the huge drop in U.S. performance in international distance running.

I think Coevette and El Keniano should meet up and have a race. The brojo's should organise it and stream it live on letsrun so we could all see. We can take sides with whoever wins the race. You would have the maximum amount of pure hate between 2 letsrunners. It can be a 5,000m on the Rieti track(meeting point close to half way between Coevette -UK and El Keniano - Kenya).

---

Yes! This would be great to watch! Brojos, please organize this race, and make all of letsrun’s dreams become reality.

---

Rieti classic! And if Coevett wins in a fast time he is either the real Steve Ovett or the track in short. And likewise if El Keniano wins in a fast time it confirms he is either the real Asbel Kiprop or all Kenyans are doping.

What if Covette is the real Steve Ovett AND El K is the real Asbel Kiprop? 🙀

---

If he is indeed coached by Patrick Sang, that should be pretty big news.

I wonder if he’s based at Sang’s compound in Kaptagat with Kipchoge and the likes?

Huh? Have you been living in a cave or something?

Newsflash: Cyrus WON the Kenyan WC trials in 2017. That's big time and prime time in Kenya Nation. I betthe was signing autographs after the race, taking selfies with the youngsters, blowing kisses to the lovely Kenyan ladies, etc. I imagine he was quite a hometown hero after that great victory.

Please make sure you stay current on Kenyan running news before posting nonsense like that. 😉

---

Newsflash: you know nothing about Kenyan t&f!!!! Who in Kenya really cares about the 5000 and 10000 anymore? Besides Paul Tanui you have two roadsters in Karoki and Kamworor and that's it. Winning the trials surely is very prestigious but nowadays the real Kenyan talents are either in the 800/1500 or the roads.
Just check the results on the World XC trials and the race itself.

Please make sure you stick your patronizing attitude where you see fit because all you seem to know about Kenya is what you read online.

What is wrong is that race organizers around the world keep on inviting Kenyan and Ethiopian athletes to their races. They are just as much part of the problem as the athletes are and yet the race organizers are not being punished.

---

Superstar Cyrus Rutto has failed to make Kenyan headlines. Maybe the Western media will allocate appropriate space for this “top” Kenyan?

I also look at numbers online and they don't lie, so...let's try this another way: Rutto's PB is 13:03.44 - only 8 Americans have been faster with no American beating that time in the last 4 yrs. Only one Brit has gone faster.

How many elites world-wide who specialize in the 5000 can't run 13:03? Perhaps hundreds? How many elites world-wide can't even run the Olympic/WC "A" standard qualifying time let alone a 13:03?

Rutto qualified for the 2017 WC and advanced to the finals. 40 runners ran in the qualifying heats, only 15 advanced which meant 25 went home devastated.

Rutto is very fast. Rutto has got some wheels. 😉

Aww shut it! Ethiopia is in exactly the same situation as the US and the UK - no busts inferred as doping at 0% by the LetsRun brain trust. But now they want Ethiopia investigated because it’s suspicious that no one is getting nabbed? My sides! 😆 😝🤣 Oh, the hypocrisy! You can’t make this kind of s*** up. To be a bottom feeder racist unencumbered by a functioning brain.
