    **Note** - All of Kipruto's performances from 2018 - 2023 have oficially been taken away. This includes his 10k record of 26:24 on the roads. Because of this change, the new 10k record will go to Berihu Aregawi from Ethiopia who ran a time of 26:33 in 2023.

It's only when they get clumsy that they fail the test. Most professionals are on a very strict drug program assuring that they will test clean each time. Notice how most top runners haven't been racing much during an Olympic year, yet when they do they are all doing personal bests? It's all by design. It's that gear cycling son

    To me, it's clear that the lack of repercussion for sponsor is a huge factor contributing to doping in sports. The issue is that athletes are highly incentivize financially to dope. If they don't dope, they'll stay mediocre, and never find sponsors. Whereas if they dope, they might or might not be caught (most likely, they'll get away with it). And sponsors close their eyes to doping - if an athlete is caught, they drop him/her and that's it. And if they don't get caught, they have the high visibility they were hoping. Sponsors should be fined too - that'd push them to not close their eyes and even potentially control their athletes too.

    As a former athlete, who is now disabled , who has never taken drugs I can honestly say , I've suspected this since 2000 + , the human body can achieve so much , but with the will , right coaching , equipment, medial assistance and genetic anomalies which give an natural advantage it can make
    Leaps of performance. BUT , there comes a time when those performance gains become smaller and smaller , it's that simple. In my opinion any one who suddenly makes a significant improvement in their sport , is either now getting access to the pre mentioned assets or is using artificial aids. Imagine a runner , does a mile in 10 minutes , the best they've ever done , has an an accident , needs a new ankle , after recovery, consistently does that same mile in 9 minutes 50 seconds. You know that's not right , but what you don't know is the athlete has an experimental ankle in. So do you ban the runner for cheating , allow the runner to continue , suspecting an unfair advantage?? . Suddenly of course lots of athletes start having mysterious accidents requiring ankle surgery , and afterwards their performance improves. Face it we are now at the threshold of human biomechanical alteration.

      ​​​@@biguzivertthing is, the biological passport tracks changes over time, and athletes are allowed I think two missed tests before the third missed test is a ban.
      So for athletes that got into professional athletics since the introduction of the passport, if they have been doping their whole career in a measured and sensible way then they won't flag the test, and for countries with more developed doping programs they can track their athletes to keep them inside the bounds of acceptability.
      And even then, they can use more optimal doping strategies in the run up to major competitions and just skip out on the first missed test if they know it will result in a violation.
      The reason that we see Kenyan athletes getting busted more than American or European athletes is at least in part because their doping procedures are less sophisticated in terms of making sure that their athletes don't get popped.

Both types of errors are important to avoid, and both types of errors still occur. The AIC has applied multiple methods how to minimize the potential error in this doping event. My opinion is that keeping sport clean is important, and I see AIC making a huge effort to be fair.

    Interesting, as far as I know they can measure the chemical version of EPO (I might be wrong) but they still can do blood doping (storing your own blood and administer it later when needed). Alcohol can influence a test to make it appear higher (dehydration) but it's obvious lies, you can't perform like that as a heavy drinker.
    As it's very dangerous for your blood getting too high viscosity levels, a simple test should be applied pre-race, excluding you from running if it's too high. If it's from alcohol, EPO or blood transfusion doesn't matter.
    This is also what makes the whole story unbelievable, If you have these high levels, random alcohol abuse can be deadly, especially in combination with long runs.
    Doping can kill the sport, losing all credibility.
