I don’t understand how people can hate Kenya if they’re into distance running. Clearly Kenya is the greatest country of all time when it comes to distance running, although Great Britain should also deserve a mention, given their history (and Ethiopia of course).
I get the doping allegations, and all dopers should get lifetime bans. But I’m American and NOP is American, so I can’t exactly point the finger at other countries when we have corrupt filth like Salazar coming from my own country.
It's always a great day when Kenyan athletes win! May they continue winning and breaking records.

Gonna give any credit to the Italian architects of all this??
Great Britain? How? Besides Coes, Cram, Ovett and Moorcroft, Dave Bedford, Peter Elliot, who have they produced? Before we even start to talk about which of those were doping.
The difference is that we do have strict testing, and that we did investigate Salazar. But it's weird that you don't know the difference of that and when you know the rest of the world has almost no standards of testing and runners are putting out ridiculous results.
