Is Sabastian Sawe doping… or is his world record performance actually legit?
With Kenyan athletics facing constant scrutiny due to the rising number of doping cases, it’s fair to ask the question anytime we see an unbelievable marathon performance. In this video, we break down the truth behind the rumors and look at why Sawe’s recent dominance has sparked debate across the running world.
According to reports (including The Guardian), Sawe has been tested an insane number of times leading up to major races — including 25 drug tests before the Berlin Marathon, with blood and urine testing happening multiple times per week. Sawe has even publicly encouraged the Athletics Integrity Unit to test him, saying:
“Doping has become a cancer in my country.”
With recent bans involving athletes like Albert Korir, Titus Ekiru, and Abraham Kiptum, skepticism is understandable. But does Sawe’s transparency and constant testing finally put the doubt to rest?
