No, he used his two year break to add some weight and he is competing in the hammer now.
Looked superb in Paris. I think he will medal in Doha.
As someone else pointed out, this is only his 4th race after a 3 year break.
All that barefoot running on packed dirt and gravel roads is paying off.
Just when we thought the sport was getting cleaned up, Big Mac suddenly shows up in time for Doha after 3 years out, rebooted, recharged, and rejuiced. Oh, and 26 year old 3:35 Ugandans can now run 3:30 with electric sprint finishes (under the guidance of Jos Hermans).

But is he too juiced to lose?
He's going bald! Shaver from now on.

Makh doesn't care for the diamond league.
He makes tons of money and leaves a legacy by being a multiple Olympic medallist. He doesn't even really care about the world's, they are just practice for the Olympic games.
Therefore he waits and gets ready for the big champs, doesn't waste his energy or risk injury on unimportant years. It's a pretty smart tactic in my opinion.
If you look at his appearance record you will see a clear pattern.
2012- Olympics wins gold
2013 - World Champs year: doesn't compete has the year off
2014 - Couple DL races but skips African Champs 1500.
2015- World Champs year before Olympics competes and finishes 4th
2016 - Olympic games double silver
2017 - World Champs year: has the year off
2018 - Nothing on so has the year off again
2019 - World champs year before Olympics: competes (finish 3rd?)
2020 - Third Olympics due to careful conservation of the body... Medal?

Yeah, I see a clear pattern allright. MacGoofy is the middle distance version of Ben Johnson.
Ex-Runner is determined to be known as the biggest doping apologist on this board.

The Makh Attack is Back, Jack!
Yeah, because EPO helps with a kick. Do you have personal experience? Ever tried EPO, or just talking out of your @ss like everyone on this board that has never experimented with PEDs?

Musagala’s PR before this year was 3:33, not 3:35. Letsrun posters love to exaggerate things.

Same improvement as Grice but nobody suspicious about that. He's been running 3:35 every year since 2014 then suddenly 3:30 at age 25.

Bingo. At least make it somewhat believable, you know?
