Banned Kenyan runner pockets third place prize money in Malaysian race

Exactly the agent should be fined 2 million dollars and banned for life from being an athlete agent. The road race organizers who gave out the prize should also be fined.

Lol. Speak for yourself.

But why do you troll me so much, when you then delete my answer? Isn't that pointless? Oh wait...

Coevett yesterday dug up a real old post by Rojo (15 or 20 yrs ago) who compiled some interesting stats with pre & post-EPO era times that showed a significant percentage improvement of EPO era times compared to pre-EPO era times. I believe the events he analized were the men's 15, 5, 10 & marathon (?). It definitely conflicted with rekrunner's retrospective analysis that he researched last year. I wanted to take a another look at it again today -- but bam it was deleted. I don't know if rekrunner is a mod or not, but if he is, I could see him deleting this because it conflicts with his research. Other than that, I don't know ehy it would have been deleted? ?

I actually agreed with your observation, and built on it, realizing that it applies to pretty much every nation. Why do you state things with such confidence that you do not know, and in this case, should know is false? Oh wait....

Hard to recall all names of all the currently banned Kenyans.

Are you saying that there are as many French athletes currently banned as Kenyans? As many UK athletes banned? I think there are two UK athletes currently under suspension (the female javelin thrower and the male sprinter who'd had the motorcycle accident?). I don't know the exact figure of Kenyan athletes currently under suspension but there is a new one appearing every month. The figure for Kenyan athletics busts was over 50 before the start of last year's steady spate of busts and suspensions.

Are you including all the American and British boxing heavyweights with failed test etc and lumping them all together with the very few runners suspended?

Rojo's EPO post does not conflict with my analysis. I came up with the similar results when I analyzed East Africans and North Africans, who set these world records. My value added was to show that, while EPO use was widespread, surely in and out of Africa, the drastic performance gains Rojo was talking about was not. I am not a mod. Now you know. Letsrun has a search function -- you can find Rojo's link below.

Can't you just read the words I wrote to figure out what I am saying? I said "recall all the names". Do you think "casual obsever" also meant boxing when he said the same thing? I found four international UK athletes currently banned in athletics. Can you name them?

4 names are not that hard to remember. You either have very poor memory, or didn't get the point at all.

Wait, what? You just agreed with me, and then pretend that I stated false things with confidence? You are getting weirder and weirder.

And yes , your follow-up statement was nonsense, for some countries have so few banned runners right now (remember we are on letsrun..), that even a child can remember them.

Obviously either a protected troll, or a mod himself. All these deletions can't be coincidental.

You made several statements. I agreed with one. My follow up statement specifically mentioned America and France, and not the UK. It was Coevett who brought up the UK. While a child can remember four names, Coevett could only mention two he was aware of from the UK, and then, not by name. So for some, it is even hard to keep up with all the names just for the UK.
