@miltondemagnifique

cyclists and vo2 max... EPO ???

[miltondemagnifique]

ah, yeah a couple of things you want to know. In terms of V02 max, africans and europeans are about the same, the highest readings are with elite cyclists, look at cadel evans readings for example. The other factor here is the fact that race is defined by less than 6% of dna. An individual African could be genetically closer to a European born and raised on the other side of the planet than his fellow african next door neighbour. The African distance runners train harder, and have more guts.

Dude wat are you like a fucking doctor? dont get a boner after typing all that crap! your just another beliver. We afrikans train and work hard to be the best, unlike americans who have better things to do other than running. so why dont you go do a history report or something

that may be true but during the womens olympic marathon in beijing i heard an announcer say that a kenyan has never won an olympic marathon which surprises me to hear that

[redsan305]

i dont understand what you mean by that.

Kalenjin have more humoglobin,their cells take time to reduce.Hence they can run long distances without getting tired...the Kalenjin may be having a running gene missing in other human beings.When they were in Egypt,Pharaoh Sesostris separated the Kalenjin form the rest of the Ancient Egyptians to be recruited into the Egytian army about 5000 years.They were assigned the role of defending Egypt since they were very fast and could respond to emergencies within a short time

[getmesilly]
