We Kenya Doping- No way

Rita Jeptoo conquering the world

Now did i hear this well, that Rita Jeptoo, Boston and Chicago marathon champion has failed a doping test? This is unbelievable, why should Rita use such methods to win yet this is a talent within Kenya. Its so sad to have another Kenyan ban for using doping methods to win and its my hope the B test will prove her innocent. Rita all the best.
That said i wish to look at what is happening in Iten ,home of champions.
After Kenyans dominated the long running races in the world for so long and we still do, the western world as usual decided its time we know what is the secret of this Kenyans.
A lot of myths has being said of how particularly the Karenjin bodies are, how their lungs react, they have longer femur bones, brrrrrrrr of all kinds have being said by the "experts whites.
I remember this issue of wanting to damage Kenyans started way back in 1980s when John Ngugi was dominating the cross country all over the world, he was the people champion in  1986 and 1989 and five titles overall. In march 1989an IAAF doctor visited Ngugi at his rural home in Nyahururu, 300kms from Nairobi, This doctor never identified himself and the team leader John Weston wrote a report saying the people champ has decline random test. John carrere went down from this day as he was ban for four years.

Mathew Kisorio

 Am not saying that we Kenyans cannot use this drugs but there are some rumors that some of the athletes have no idea that they have such elements in their body system. i know you must be wondering what am saying, but one such athlete is Mathew Kisorio, Mathew feel sick and he needed some medical attention, too bad for him as the doctor who prescribed him the drugs was not an expert  or did not know who Kisorio was and how he should be treated, all the same my friend Kisorio was banned for two years due to either ignorance or being to casual in his ways of live(its normal we Kenyans trust each other too much), as one KAAA officail put it , but am happy he is back with a bag.

Other Kenyans athletes who have found them on the wrong side of doping claims are Delilah Asiago,Pamela Chepchumba Susan Chepkemei, Lydia Cheromei,Simon Kemboi, Ngariatke Rael Kiyara, Wilson Loyanae, David Munyasia, Elizabeth Muthka, and Ronald Kipchumba Rotto.
This is not a good thing to happen to us and am not happy at all, but am annoyed by KAAA as it has left our athlete so venerable on hands of western managers who are here to make so much money without caring about our reputations.

Henry Rono

Faith far right

There are rumors that there are some managers who induce this athlete without the athlete knowing, the mushrooming of Camps in Iten has made it easier as everything is done in those camps. Thus please Isaih Kiplangat the President of KAAA can act so first now, see the situation that Rita Jeptoo is now, every time i hear you talking tough about out athletes but can you do same on this managers,
why is it that our constitution is so weak anyone can came to Kenya and start working and even buy land and build such big camps. Look at Eastleigh, Somali has made it their small Mogadishu, Iten you will find young upcoming athlete in company of some old white who can qualify to be their grandfathers managing our athletes.
Yes this althele should make as much money as they can as within a certain age , the prowress will fade and will need now to do another duty.
Samuel Wanjiru (RIP) i believe his life went that way due to KAAA not wanting to be part of our athlete life, yet this organization depends on this young men and girls to survive.So can KAAA take charge and use the government to not only monitor this managers but also make sure that our athletes are not mis-used at all.

Samuel Wanjiru

Lazaro Chepkwony the first Kenya to compete in an international competition in 1954 in London, Nyanika Maiyoro and Arere Anetia also were presents, came later the great Kipchoge Keino, Ben Jipcho, Temu, Henry Rono Ruth Waithera, Paul Tergat, Wilson Kipsang, Milcah Chemoss, Vivial Cheriyot, Kemboi the king of 3000 steeple chase, this is an indicator who we are and we should be careful with agents, yes white agents i mean it.

Its my hope things will be ok for Rita , but am calling on all you runners please be careful with what you eat or take as medicine, some of drugs in local Chemistries have side effects on you as a runner.
