  • A world-class athlete sets himself up for success very early in his career, but his life outside of athletics and an abrupt end to his career, would cement him as one of the most polarizing figures the track and field scene has seen in years.

    Your compilation is below Average, You just compile based on your imagination to suit what you believe in and how you want to impose an ending. Instead of trying to find out if the so called lab analysis were done correctly and the essence of the said targeted test. I have always Claimed innocent and Nothing will ever change that. It's the testers who made a fool of the all World and Hurt my Talent.

      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.

      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.

    This was a rollercoaster of a documentary. Kiprop’s story throughout most of the video seemed to be a hopeful and heartwarming one with his rise in the running world, but ultimately turned out to be a really sad and depressing one with such a harsh downfall.

    yoooo thank you for making this video. Kiprop is a fascinating individual I remember following his antics as they were unfolding. Surely he was doped to the gills, but his WC performances were iconic and with his long stride he was a true freak of nature. When he was making tweets defending himself when he was caught doping, I replied to some of his posts supporting him and he seemed to appreciate it (lmao)

      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.

    He was such a beautiful runner to watch. Shame what he became. My theory is that he turned to PEDs after not winning a single race in 2017 and failing to come to terms with his new status as a declining athlete.

    As someone who wasn't familiar with Kiprop, it was a HUGE whiplash once the doping scandal came along. Like you said, he had the chance to overcome it, but instead he threw away his career and legacy in the trash bin.
