That's it. I'm calling BS on Brigid Kosgei's London performance

It is a WR for a woman of that weight with a bad ankle.

Agree. Vivian Cheruiyot was in very good shape and still got smoked (2 minutes in the last 10k)

Can’t believe she’s clean

There was a similar post yesterday, which suggested she’s heading for a ban. It has since been deleted.

But the actual world record for the half marathon is 64:51 and the actual 20k record is 61:25 from the same race.

Marathon running is a joke!

You’re not the fittest in the world!

Stop deluding yourselves!

See these 3D shoulders? That’s a big sign of steroid use as the shoulders have more androgen receptors!

Wowwwwwww! I need a daddy like that ;)

:-0

I know that’s obviously the fake Matt London, but serious question, is Matt London actually clean? I’m not a “3d shoulder” expert.

66:42 second half, by herself in windy conditions.

That's hilarious.

Her agent is Gabrielle Rosa.

I'm sorry but that's hilarious.

66:42.

The "women only" world record is only 66:11. She nearly soloed a world record in the second half of a marathon. Yeah because that makes sense.

She ran from 20k to 40k in 63:06.

The women-only world record for 20k is 63:21.

In other words she ran faster than a world record. Solo. In the wind. Yeah, keep telling yourself that's normal.

Honestly that's just hilarious.

She just demolished the "greatest women's marathon field ever assembled." Made them look like kids who belonged in a different race.

Hilarious.

Calling BS on the circus act.

I agree. But most of the E. African show since '87 or so is a bit suspicious. Hopefully the truth will come out one way or the other some day. I can't say I'm optimistic about very many athletes having been clean from Ethiopia or Kenya and other places during this time.

If that happens on Strava I'm flagging it.

This made me chuckle

You are right. None of it is credible. But the show goes on.

They've been catching and banning Kenyans so, hopefully, if she's dirty they'll catch her.

Who knows? Maybe that's why we can't get more Americans under 2:10 and we don't have guys running sub 2:06 every weekend.

I barely noticed the headwind on the 2nd half of London, although I only ran a pedestrian 73 not a 66!

It's a symbiotic process. The more Africans dope, the less likely non-African clean talent is to enter and stay in the sport. I doubt it's a co-incidence that in the last few years when it seems at least efforts are being made to make it a cleaner sport, non-African times and performances have been improving again.

The way she did it with that fast second half and the finish of course makes here "highly suspected". We will see in a couple of years if she is a doper or not.And if Rosa is the manager we know the grade of suspect is very high.

I agree, if you're going to dope at least show the results of the dope fueled training! Bolt, Radcliffe, Ayana etc.

We don't want to see dopers kick on the last lap in 13:30 (unless it's a 49 last lap)

She’s going after 2:15 now
