Without foreigners Kenyans would have never been heard of at all.
I’ve yet to meet any that can be trusted. They need to go, every single one of them. Before they flooded the Rift Valley, Kenyan runners didn’t even know what supplements were. I especially loathe the white saviour complex spouted by the likes of Stablemaster (“l’m helping these people, they need me, they’d be lost without me) when it’s people like him, and attitudes like his, that are a large part of the problem.
Here’s what I hope happens: if it’s true as he says that Kenya will be banned from Tokyo, I think that will finally jolt the Kenyans into action. Hopefully a backlash with athletes, politicians and the local population realising it’s time, as a country, to emulate Ethiopia. We’ll also see if Kenya won’t be able to produce world-beaters without them, as they take their skills back to their home countries and start churning out World champions from Europe and North America.
How would Kenyans get to the Olympics without planes? Would they go on foot and by dugout canoe?
