GRACE NAWOWUNA: 19 yrs old 29:47.43 100000m debut. I AM A FAN, you should be too

This whole thread tries to pretend that you can separate a Kenyan runner from their environment - which they have shown is rife with doping.

But you don’t trust Hassan’s achievements, nor Gidey’s, nor Mu, etc. You pretty much don’t trust the achievement of any global medalist of East African origin, do you? So it’s not just Kenya.

Dude seriously let it go...follow another sport. Grace Nawowuna is about as guilty of doping as you are Sir.

...

BUSTED. Boom goes reality and the truth.

The fact that you are a fan....well....that makes me want to be a fan too. Congratulations, I am now a fan of Grace too. Bet!

I love running. Everything about it. But the doping problem is too huge, particularly in distance running, to be avoided. I am at the point where any great deed is met with a little itch in the back of my mind, 'so, are they doping'? It's a shame. But it is an attitude based on facts and reality. I have tried to rationalise it by thinking, well, if I went to a rock concert, would their taking drugs effect my enjoyment? But that didn't really work. Lots of runners take drugs, unfortuneately, more Kenyans have been caught than any other country. No one in all honesty can say than a runner, male of female is defintiely 100% clean. You just wish them to be. As do I.

Not good using Ngugi as an example

Searching for a cure for the Kenyan doping epidemic - AW

An unusually large number of runners from the east African nation have been suspended recently

I am not a fan of a dirty sport. I am a fan of clean sport - a lost ideal.

The mod bias on these Kenyan threads is ridiculous. It isn't a place that accepts a diversity of views when there are more deletions than posts. The mods here definitely go for the echo chamber.

Vipam I applaud your support and enthusiasm for a young talent - and I usually share your views. However in this instance I must draw the connection that Nawowuna is the younger sister of Alice Aprot (fourth in Rio 10000m and 4th in London 10000m WC) who was busted for doping and is currently serving a 4 year ban…..

Then get lost and stop polluting thread after thread with your repetitive drivel.

Do you really want to go down that road? The circumstances of Alice Aprot Nawowuna's ban have nothing to do with Grace, teenager. Just like Zane Robertson's don't concern twin brother Jake. Tirunesh and Genzebe Dibaba are sisters. Henrik Ingebrigtsen was on the Fancy Bears list. Oh, and King Charles is Jeffrey Epstein pal Prince Andrew's brother.

Being related is neither here nor there.

Then if you don't want to take your fake lip evidence to WADA, you better shut up! Have you ever heard of the proverb "Frogs noises don't prevent a cow from drinking water from a stream" ????

Your yapping on ALL Kenyan athletes as dopers has zero recognition for WADA to warrant the country's suspension. Keep yapping Mr. Envy aka Mr. Lies!!

Another empty brain skull detected. Hillary or whatever you call yourself, does it mean if your brother is a murderer or a suicide bomber you're also one or you are as them? This general condemnation and petty sentiments shows your level of immaturity and juvenility from your end. Grow up man! Style up! and stop this nonsense of blanketing everyone with others deeds!

No it pains me to look down that road and I don’t want to tar the younger sister with the same brush but it does give me pause for thought. As for your other comparisons - The Dibabas, the Robertsons, - yes, it does get me speculating upon their integrity, most especially where Genzebe/Tirunesh are concerned. The Dibabas are an extremely close family and it’s inconceivable that Genzebe would be doped to the max without Tirunesh being aware..

But please don’t confuse me with those on these boards who cry doping in relation to any great performance. I’m trusting of individual performances until I have reason to doubt them. But I do think twice if a direct family member has been both implicated and subsequently convicted of a doping transgression.
