no one in that final was clean and you can take that to the bank, beating a test does not mean you're clean, for those who care to get a different perspective read contents of this link

The point is that if Kenyans in the diaspora can make it in basketball then Kenyans at home can excel at basketball if given the same opportunities. Oh by the way, some of those basketball players went to school in Kenya. Two went to Maseno and one went to Friends Kamusinga.

There is plenty of basketball talent in Kenya but it is not being nurtured and groomed. Also there is no culture of basketball in Kenya.

Kenya has as much basketball talent as any African country including Angola. The difference is we do not have a basketball culture. Thus there arent enough basketball courts in neighbourhoods. Which means vijana vijana have nowehere to practise there skills. Schools do not take basketball seriously.

I will give you an example of how a sporting culture makes a difference. In the 1990s, rugby was non-existent in Uganda having been killed during the Iddi Amin days. In 1997, Kenya played Uganda and won 67-5.

But Uganda started to rebuild their rugby culture. Rugby clubs re-opened. Rugby was re-introduced in schools. They invited South African experts. And by around 2003, Uganda had caught up with Kenya and even beat Kenya at both sevens and XV.

Part of the problem in Kenya is we do not have a culture of football. In Nigeria for example, football is so important that some of the top teams are fully sponsored by the state government.

wewe @alba you must be (or was) a football player, I have a gut feeling you must have been part of MYSA at some point.
Of course if you search hard enough you will get those qualities that make athletes in any sport excel - be it swimming, gymnastics, Equestrian, Riffle games ...

Lakini that does not happen and its virtually impossible to sustain such, since individuals even though gifted in an area have different interests.

So we look at a general scenario, where those who present themselves or show an interest to participate in given sports are trained and go out to compete - and in that sense Kenya only has extractable talent in women volleyball, athletics and to some extent rugby.

Sasa utasema kenya has talent in american football.

Talent has to meet opportunity. Few years ago,Rugby was only played in Nairobi. Cricket was for long also limited to the few who lived in Ngara yet Kenya made to the world cup.
I think there is a huge reservoir of untapped talent out there.

I see the weed country will finish tops,followed by kiash country and kenya will come 3rd.

Well put 1st or 2nd may even come down even to the silvers.
Lakini after those two dopers who were caught next year in rio olympics things will be truly elephant seb coe the new IAAF top man is already under pressure i dont think under his watch he wants doping cases to keep on arising.Hapa ndio the kenyan athletes will feel the pressure..the random tests wacha tu

With regard to the womens 800m, there is always a woman from Eastern Europe who emerges from nowehere during championships, wins gold then dissappears to avoid drug testing, only to re-emergeat the next championship.

We missed women marathon Gold by 1 second ..isorite.If we complain ,what do we expect Tanzanians or Nigerians to do?
