Ruth Chepngetich Responds To Question About Kenyan Doping After 2:09:56 World Record In Chicago

LetsRun’s Robert Johnson asked Ruth Chepngetich about her marathon world record of 2:09:56 in an era when Kenya is struggling with doping. Johnson: “Ruth, unfortunately in recent years there’s been a number of doping positives in Kenya. What would you say to someone who says when they see 2:09:56, ‘This is too good to be true. I have questions about it.” Chepngetich: “I don’t have any idea.” Johnson: “Some people may think that the time is too fast and you must be doping. What would you say to them?” Chepngetich: “You know people must talk but…people must talk so I don’t know.” #ChicagoMarathon
