We know the Kenyan’s ages are notoriously inaccurate. I don’t believe for a second Eluid actually won the 2003 World Champs 5000 when he was “18.” How old does everyone think he really is now? My guess is 36.

61
Just replace Joe Louis with Eluid Kipchoge
He was probably even younger. If you watch the video you will note that he didn't even have all his adult teeth.
No way he is 61. You're just being silly and looking stupid.
He's at most, 59.
I like how Geb and Kipchoge have disproved at least some of the age cheat allegations.
Geb runs 12:56 at age 21 -- he's at least 27...
Geb runs 60-61 min half marathon at age 41... he's at least 47... oh wait, he can't be 47... maybe we were wrong.
Same with Kipchoge...

No one ever called Lagat an age cheat
No one claimed Geb was an "age cheat," though one of his childhood friends believes he is older than his stated age. He ran a 61 half marathon when he was 40. If he was actually 42-43 it wouldn't be that hard to believe.

I would say he looks mid to late 40s.
It's like another Kenyan speedster, Timothy Cheruiyot, who looks early 40s.
Young in body - old in face.
He's 33 buddy, you only had to look up Wikipedia:-

As we all know Wikipedia is the undisputed purveyor of absolute fact, so there you have it.

I'm not convinced you know what an "age cheat" is.
Does not matter his age. Whether it's 33 or 43. He still beats all us here! Go Eluid!
No scholarship limits anymore! (NCAA Track and Field inequality is going to get way worse, right?)
