What a crazy week in track and field.
Kenenisa Bekele ran 2:01:41 in the marathon, Donavan Brazier broke Johnny Gray’s American record and won the gold medal in Doha, and Alberto Salazar was banned from the sport by USADA for four years.
We have an emergency podcast from the middle of the night in Doha to break it all down.
