Well, we all know this must be false, having been educated in the past that
(a) Kenyans can't afford expensive performance enhancers like EPO, and (b)
Kenyan athletes are loathe to take aspirin for a minor strain, much less
take a performance enhancing drug.
No story here folks. This drug test was obviously ignorant of Kenyan
culture and tradition.
What happened to all the sub 26:45 10K's and sub 12:50 5K's in recent
years, btw?
