What is so bad about Ramzi

[Raspadinha94]

why there isn't another Prefontaine? :S

[Benji0895]

The tall guy is really tall !

[brianclough]

Kiprop is the champion both in name and spirit, look at his chasing down in the final straight, worthy of any champion. The 1500m was for a long time the blue riband event of athletics until recently displaced by the 100m, so it's fitting that the successor to Elliot, Snell, Coe, Walker, Aouita, Morcelli and El Guerouj is no cheat. Ramzi's thievery was discovered eventually and we again have a fitting Champion in Kiprop

Kenya iko juu, kenya iko tops! in 2010, we have produced the a world record in 800M men. we have so many runners unlike Ethiopians who rely on Bekele, Dibaba, Defar and Gebreselasie. With all due respect to them but, Kenya has many athletes some of whom are being born today. Without Bekele, Ethiopians cant have anything to show for in 10k or 5k. he didnt appear in the African championships coz he freaked out! @ mrembo, tell them yawa!

[wazo89]

kiprop denied his moment in the sun by a cheat such a shame.

[runningshoe1]

All achieved thanks to Continuous Erythropoiesis Receptor Activator.

[pabanil]

@mrembo87 Cause Bekele did not run.Bekele will beat them.We know if how strong is Bekele.

[ab25m69]

Just don't argue with anyone, please refer them to wikipedia atheletics, and let the world see what Kenya has done and has to BOAST about. All championships olympics etc, see out medals tally and compare with other African countries, Ethiopians aren't having even half of what we Kenyans have. Proud to be a Kenyan.

[Doromir]

Another stolen race. What a shame

[MrCJPerkins]

[pabanil]

If El is still running, im sure he will beat them all, El run middle and long distance, and he win in 2004 Athens Olympic

[pabanil]

El is the best,

[smeg2k2k]

Only just noticed how strongly Baala finished in the final 100 metres. Should get a highly deserved bronze soon.

[mrembo87]

[rustycoalbin]

Ramzi is likely to be stripped of the gold medal on May 8 for blood doping,so much for Bahrain first Gold medal!

[gargouyee]

[JacktheDaniels]

Holy smokes did you guys see Baala's finish?
