I must give an A for honesty to the European marathon record holder. Training with Eliud Kipchoge can't hurt either.

Honesty? He doesn't mention the universal use of doping in Kenya, nor the Cheaterflies.
Pretty good interview. I liked this line:
Noting that a 2:04:16 marathon result is not a one-day result, but it is a "10-year journey," he said, adding that it starts at a young age with successful middle distance results, such as 3:35-3:37 maximum for 1,500 meters (4,921 feet).
I mean good luck running those times at that altitude (at whatever age!), but yeah the 10-year journey strikes a chord.
That’s not altitude, that’s 1500m in feet.
Oh my bad
It is likely to be something more than "genetics".

Great to see Farah's ER surpassed- fake Turk with fake shoes or not. I don't even care at this point.

Dope augments, it does not create.
He wasn’t honest about why he runs for Turkey, though. He gets to run in the Olympics.

Oh, right - the same way a fraudster "augments" their account with someone else's money?
You obviously haven't watched Icarus: doping doesn't result in improved performance.
State sanctioned doping from Russia resulted in 0 medals in the Marathon or 10,000m or 5000m, or 1500m or 800m
False.
2012 London Olympics:
Women's 800m:
1st place: Mariya Savinova 4 year ban DQ'd from race
2nd place: Elena Arzhakova 2 year ban DQ'd from race
Women's 1500m:
2nd place: Tatyana Tomashova Previously served 2 year ban in 2008-2010
9th place: Yekaterina Kostetskaya 6 month ban DQ'd from race
Women's Steeplechase:
1st place: Yuliya Zaripova 2 1/2 year ban DQ'd from race

Really? You’d rather see the European run by a man who grew up in London and is most definitely a Londoner surpassed by a Kenyan who Turkey bought and has never lived in Europe?
Really there is no point in having area records or area competitions if this continues. May as well scrap it all if countries continue this behaviour and just have worlds once a year.
A Turkish Kenyan. Hmm what are the chances that this guy is not doping?

Slim to none. ?
But the same is true for Likely Doper Farah, coached by Salazar and Aden, who wore special Nike shoes in Chicago. Sad sad sad.

Depends if the fraudster made 95% on their own first.

Careful or they will ban you. The only purpose of this site is to kill the dreams of every young non-East African athlete on Earth, while the GoogleAds revenue lines their pockets.

Speaking to ourselves again, Coevett?

100%. Mo Farah is a blight upon athletics.
