Kenyans keep winning, and keep doping.
That is unlikely to change any time soon.
Doping in Kenya is about more than winning: The town where no one runs for fun.

Nike has confirmed that they reported Faith Kipyegon's "flying time" on Thursday. Using the standard timing method, she ran 4:06.91.
I wouldn't have cared if she ran across the line and got a true flying start. They never claimed to be following the rules. But doing this quietly isn't a great look.

What Was Up With the Timing at Faith Kipyegon’s Sub-4 Mile Attempt?
Kipyegon’s time initially read as 4:06.91, but was later adjusted to 4:06.42. Nike has explained what happened.
