And PS, I do probably have a personal bias against Russia, and tend to be pretty cynical about them as a country as a whole, and doping in particular, so I guess we all have our biases.

Hey, but that's o.k, because Russians are white, so you can 'admit' to being as 'bad' as those who point out the doping problem in Kenya, while at the same time continuing to accuse us of being racist. BTW., seems like the IAAF shares your 'bias' against Russia too.
Each time there's a new Kenyan doping bust (and they'll get more and more frequent) I think to myself - well, there's no denying now, surely even the hardcore doping apologists on LetsRun will have at least enough shame to be silent. But no (with the exception it seems of El K on this occasion), it's always the same pattern of unregistered accounts clearly mostly the same person replying to himself, claiming that it's racist to suspect Kenyans in general, while at the same time suggesting that all Western athletes are doping too (with no evidence). Then Casual Observer starts agreeing and begins quoting stuff about how 44% of Africans admitted cheating which proves that everybody since Peter Snell has had peds seeping out of their eyeballs, and that peds improve peformance by at least 3% (which I agree) to which RekRunner comes in and starts an interminable psuedo-scientific statistical discussion with him on whether EPO works, that lasts 4 weeks until the next Kenyan star to get busted and the process starts again on a new thread.
My recommendation would be the Brojos only allow registered users to comment on important threads like this. Too many doping apologists and shills can turn these threads into a perversion of what both the athletics community and the general public thinks about these constant Kenyan doping busts. They should also consider banning Rekrunner.
