The Strange Story of Asbel Kiprop 

While I concede the fact that I don't have access to exact laboratory numbers/protocols, I do believe they used the proper tools to differentiate between exogenous and endogenous EPO, and that the sample was transported and analyzed properly too. However, I do acknowledge that a company like WADA/AIU has a documented history of sketchy practices, but in this particular instance, there's no reason for me to believe that you didn't use rEPO. I do believe though, that it *is* a possibility you were target tested given the obscenely close dates in testing (in November out of all months too). There seems to be this ongoing notion still that it's *only* Kenyan/East African athletes who dope and that athletes from there should be tested *more* often than other countries, which is a disingenuous approach in my opinion and facilitates corrupt practices (as seen in your own case) Overall, I have no ill will against you personally to ever propose a specific narrative. I am confident in my assessment of your career based off of my research and the facts presented to me, but if you wish to cement my findings as subpar, than I respect your opinion entirely.

pin of shame

If you don't believe the so called labs sometimes make errors on EPO readings, at least learn from Australia's Peter Bol case. It's only that I didn't get any scientist to go and challenge during the analysis of the Sample B. I understand they keep those Samples and if they are transparent enough they'd have done more research on it. But understand they can't amit liability. Thanks.

Pretty sure this is a fake account lmao

In one of the slowest and most pathetic 1500 meter races ever

@@FascinateNonExoticKeepers nobody did anything about it and that’s why you run the race! Centro deserved the gold because the people with better PR’s than him let it go slow.

@@FascinateNonExoticKeepersagreed

Worst final in Olympic history. That was a woman's time. Please never let that happen again.

@@FascinateNonExoticKeepers estoy en desacuerdo el entreno específicamente para ese tipo de carrera se tomó un gran riesgo a q la carrera no fuera como el planeo y su entrenamiento no sea suficiente ni para llegar 3 lugar. Si la carrera fue lenta pero el fue el primero en pasar la línea y el duerme tranquilo con se medalla de oro en su cuarto

Kenyans are on EPO as juniors, nobody starts dabbling when they’re already world class lol

@@HkFinn83 Kenyans are giving their kids EPO? Nice cope.

@@freedomm Lol at you, there’s actual video of Kenyan juniors getting epo from their doctors on RU-vid

@@HkFinn83 Prove it. Name them.

@@freedomm search ‘Kenya’s doping crisis’, multiple videos from actual news outlets showing youth athletes being given EPO. Did you actually believe world class athletes in general were clean or was it something specifically about Kenya?

From what I understand, the results that are nullified begin from the date of the sample that tested negative (not when they were handed their ban). So if a urine sample from *after* the 2016 Olympics tested positive, any results from the London Olympics and before would *not* be disqualified as a result. Since Kiprop tested positive in late 2017, no race results can be considered DQ'able.

but we all know this guy was on the juice for a long time.

There are no clean African athletes the last 20 years.

@@Forrestarabian proof?

Peter bol had a negative b sample. Kiprop was a clear positive both times

If you don't know that you're supposed to use they for more than one person I think you're the clown tbh

No
