Trolls 'force' Zakayo Pingua to release image of passport to prove he is 17

Those medical methods aren't very accurate. Does knowing he is 20+-5 years help anyone?

We have a 18 year old white guy with a legit age running 330.

There was a 17 year old running 356 miles back in 60s. This isn't some unbelievable time..

I wonder how they come to the determination that Jakob Ingebrigsten is the age he claims to be (18).

Documentation of birth is a bit better in European countries.

Oh,

Noah Lyles is 21 and Jakob Ingebrigsten is 18.............but that is okay.

Age experts, we all know you are okay with that. You are the experts.

Sprinters peak earlier. Why you often see world class sprint time at NCAA meets, but rarely see world class distance times.

Considering Jakob grew up on Norwegian television I'm pretty sure that there is ample evidence he is the same age as he claims to be.

I swear you must have been terminated for being ineffectual at your most recent place of employment.

You attack Coevett accusing him of being “racist”, but he is not. Racism is prejudice against someone due to their race, NOT their NATIONALITY.

Coevett would not have a problem with Sileshi Sihine and Dibaba’s son because he was born in the US, and there is accurate data regarding his birth in Atlanta, Georgia.

Do you comprehend this is a geographical thing and not a racial thing?

No one here has a problem with race. Both of these young gentlemen are from first world countries with accurate birth records. One is African American and the other is Caucasian. No one prefers one of the athletes over the other. Quite frankly, this board seems to love both of those guys.

People on the board have beef with Kenyans gaining age advantages via fraudulent manipulation of their records, or conception of the records, to secure sponsorship opportunities over others.

What about President Barack Obama and his being born in a first world country that keeps accurate birth records?

What about the birtherism?

It was led by none other than that deplorable man whom we all know lies as easily as you breath.

How about birtherism?

They questiooned his citizenship (place of birth) only because he is half Kenyan.

How about that?

Let's not forget Obama's own grandmother saying he was born in Kenya and she was there.

But yes it's probably impossible for a sitting president to concoct a ficticious birth document. Probably impossible.

Thank you for further perpetuating the point that this is a recurring GEOGRAPHICAL issue. Kenyan is NOT a race. It is your nationality if you are born in Kenya. A Caucasian can be born in Kenya, and he or she is immediately Kenyan.

Drop the racism accusations. Why can’t you just admit that it is beef with Kenya and not people of a different color?

No one here has had any beef with Noah Lyles. He’s a rock star on this board.

Hold on man!

Let me ask you a question;

Why wasn't the citizenship of both John McCain and Ted Cruz questioned?

They both ran for president.

In Europe, there are hospitals and midwives and even computers and pens to facilitate the compulsory registration of births. Imagine that.

It does make me grimace when anywhere outside America is promoted as undeveloped. I hope one day some of you guys travel.

I swear you are wrong.

And I swear you are either a troll or you are not familiar with the OP's posts on LRC at all.

Or maybe you are racist like him.

Do you comprehend that this is a race thing for him, that just happens to be focused on Kenya/Morocco because his heroes get/got beaten by athletes from those two countries?

Greg Oden. ‘Nuff said.

They've had smart phones with cameras, internet and social media in even remote Africa villages for years now.

As social media timelines with school photos, family photos and friend photos become more and more available age cheating will become a thing of the past.

Get over it Lets Run! :-)

Kenya govt documents not exactly credible

While I know the birther thing was crazy for Obama, but if Obama had done this years ago, might not have Trump as president?

I know the inclination is to ignore rumors like this but humans love conspiracy theories. I think the best option is to just treat the rumors head on and knock them done instead of letting them grow.

If someone said you are gay and you are not gay, would provide proof?
