These are no-name atheletes, no impact on our image. would worry if our frontline runners were caught doping, likes of Ezekiel Kemboi, Rudisha. Youtube man and our golden ladies etc. Hawa can dope as much as they want, only make sure they get away with it. I actually suspect inadvertent use - these are really no-name athletes competing in events where there is no pressure to win medals. si our world would fall apart if the big names were mentioned?

The Commonwealth Champion threw the third furthest distance ever and the longest effort by anyone in the last 14 years. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

The Guardian was breathless in its description of Yego’s winning heave on its live blog:
An astonishing throw by Julius Yego! He literally launches himself into his third attempt, straining every sinew as he releases the javelin and falling face down onto the floor. His nipples will have taken a hell of a scraping there. It’s ungainly. Unorthodox. And my goodness it’s worth it, the spear flying way past the 90-metre mark! It’s a throw of 92.72, a season’s best! And the Commonwealth record, previously held by Steve Backley.
By winning a world title Yego "amegonga ndipo". Youtube will make him the richest athlete Kenya has ever produced. His is a simple heartwarming story that everyone in the world can identify with. Am so happy for him.

But Malkia strikers have lost all their matches at the ongoing world cup. Anyway if you want succesful sports teams, then throw money at grassroots and youth levels. Don't concentrate all the money at the top.

Don't concentrate all the money at the top. at least they qualified for the world cup, corporate sponsorship is not involved at the grassroots - that's the work of the federations, the companies come in when the teams are well exposed to reap max benefits and at the same time benefiting the team especially financially.

I believe you are mistaken on this. Do you remember Copa Coca Cola and Safaricom sakata ball? These were tournaments that involved youth at the grassroots and unearthed a lot of talent. The likes of Johana Omollo who is now based in Belgium was unearthed in sakata ball. Its a model that could have also been adopted to other sports like basketball and volleyball. But Nyamweya ruined it by demanding kitu kidogo from Safaricom

I hope the Kenyan athletics federation imposes lifetime bans to deter anyone else because the world will start thinking we have been doping all these years irrespective of whether short or long distance On a different note though, let me throw a spanner in the works....was that the strongest 400M hurdles lineup out there? I'm not trying to water down Nicholas Bett's efforts and achievement but I'd be very happy knowing we beat the best. I don't follow that particular race closely. I must admit I was wrong about Rudisha @ Kusadikika, clearly he had a plan and it worked out - nice analysis. Ezekiel Kemboi demonstrated vigorously by pointing at his head with both index fingers ( which by the way I found quite an unnecessary jibe aimed at his nearest rival) that you need brains as much as brawn to win. #ProudlyKenyan @Smano, that was the best team out there, Bett beat the defending champion, he ran the best time of 2015, it was no fluke!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".
