Can anyone recall if something like that has been done previously. Where someone blatantly paced the trials, seemingly for a teammate. Seems quite shady. Saladbar didn't even go that far for Rupp, and he's been known to bend the rules at times ?. I wouldn't think Korir would want a pacer, I'm sure he has an ounce of pride in him. Christ, they're all going to be wearing cheaterflys as it is, how about calling enough right there with the shenanigans.
Didn’t Rupp pace Ritzenhein in the 10000m in 2012 because Ritz finished 4th in the marathon trials?

Yes. One of many reasons I asked if that poster was joking.

I have heard a rumor that Brian Sell has been awarded a provisional entry. Does he have any recent results to justify this entry?

As for Kebenei's chances, assuming he's clean, I simply don't see a steeplechase specialist/marathon debutant finishing in the top three in this field. There are too many good, proven marathoners here.
No Kenyans are clean. All East Africans dope.

Yup because his results over the last year or two totally scream DOPING...not

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

It’s even more ingenious that just Kebenei pacing Korir. I note that four of Simmons’s guys paced Kipchoge’s sub 2:00 using the inverted V peloton.

For Atlanta, they plan the same thing for Korir, with Kebenei, Lagat and Kibet in the first row of three, with Kosgei and Maiyo in row 2, with Korir sitting behind in the drivers seat!

No room for Rupp in that formation, especially with the wind.

Do the math!

I sure hope so! Kind of like how Cragg helped pull Shalane onto the team ahead of Kara, with the aid of Cheaterflys. Will Kebenei and Korir both be in Cheaterflys? Maybe Kebenei could also tuck in behind Rupp for a while and clip his heels like Rupp did to Meb in LA.

Kebenei was ever in the Army. I think he got he went through the normal naturalization process like Lagat and Chelanga.
