I take that German report with a pinch of salt. They are most likely looking for publicity now that Germany rarely features in matters athletics. Notice how quick they were to confirm 'Usain Bolts' and 'Mo Farah's ' results did not test positive? And why specifically London Marathon, and not Berlin?..

Exactly. It's predominantly the races where Africans dominate that are the focus which reveals the real intent of the expose!

When its all said and done, Eliud Kipchoge could end up being the greatest marathoner ever

Dennis Kimetto may be finished. He clocked 2:11 to finish 9th

Also he had failed to finish his last two marathons. In December he retired after only 5km in the Fukuoka marathon citing injury.

Even if he is done, he has left a huge mark, setting two world records. Impressive for a person who was a peasant farmer until his mid 20s when he took up running.
