A friend and I tried this once at a sort-of major marathon, one with both world class runners and muppets like us. We wanted a picture of us running in the same frame as the top guys. Unfortunately, there were two problems with our idea. 1) At these races, they enforce seeding at the front of the pack, and only start you up there if you have top-tier previous times. 2) My all-out sprint is about the same as a top marathoner's average pace. We started 200 m behind, stayed 200 m behind for maybe a minute, and then never saw them again. 😂
nah.......I don't think you have clue on how fast some of them go in that first 400 meters......most likely they run sub 1 minute 400 meters...........if you are an average runner chances are you won't be able to run that fast.......read good chance

He openly cheated when he had a guy on a bike pacing him on the Queensboro bridge. Not only is it against the rules to have a bike pace you, there are also no spectators allowed on that bridge at all. The fact that the race or police did not intervene was highly suspicious to me when I watched the NYC marathon.
He'd be an idiot not to admit it. You can claim to have maybe failed on one substance accidentally due to a tainted supplement, but 3 well-known doping agents at one go? No way that's accidental.
theyre not. you'd have to be incredibly gullible to think anyone is running anything close to 2 hours for the marathon clean. anyone running faster than 2:15ish is doped.
nope. Go back to 1950 to look at pre-PED times. What's that... 2 hours 25 minutes, something like that? And even then there was blood doping (transfusions to increase RBC).

As a Kenyan im pissed with this doping cases tarnishing the countries name, this started when foreign coaches started appearing on the scene and some were even doping young ignorant athletes without their knowledge, I remember one young lady crying saying her Italian coach always insisted she take the water he gave her, ofcourse due to the extreme competition in Kenya other Kenyan athletes have succumbed to the vice
It’s a rare day when a cheater admits to doping. They always blame something they ate or drank. I can only recall one athlete that owned up to doping without having tested positive or otherwise being compelled to admit it.
Not only Kenyans. Elite runners from other countries go to Kenya just to “train” aka dope. I believe Eliud fell off bc he stoped saucing due to some of his team mates getting caught.
Kenyan athletes have allegedly ben suspect for many years now: ua-cam.com/video/J0ej5k_SxUs/v-deo.html The athletics federation is turning a blind eye.
I may not be surprised in anyone that is caught doping but some disappoint me more than others. He is one of those. I truly love his going for it like no one else. Most times blowing up, but once in a while it all comes together. That was how I raced. Not the smartest but when it worked it was far better than anyone else that day. So hearing this saddens me a bit more than most others would. Just sad
The difference is Russian athletes were under a state sponsored program, I.e. they were being supplied drugs by their governing body, whereas in Kenya, they’ve acknowledged that doping is an issue and devote a huge amount of resources to cracking down on athletes that are cheating, which is why a lot of Kenyan athletes are being caught. Other countries should follow Kenya’s lead
@@HashBrownDoyler No they don't lmao. People from European countries have literally imported Kenyan blood for transfusions in sports like cycling and distance running lmao.

Andrew when you talked about when he made that fist to Kipchoge in Tokyo at 3:40 , it's when I actually remembered him, but anyway there's no shortcut to athletics success.
What is the point of having rules if they can be questioned by the offenders and a reduction in the penalty negotiated? A ban is a ban, three banned substances is not an oversite. Why would other athletes fear being caught if they could also be the' inocent' injured party and also let off with a warning or reduction for what is blatently cheating?
I am a practitioner and love running. Unfortunately, this sport has been depreciated for a long time due to doping. So this athlete that you believe to be guilty even before he was judged by the competent agencies, is not the first, is not the only one and will not be the last to use illicit substances.
It's safe to say everybody at the highest level is doping in one way or another. Let's not kid ourselves. It's just a matter of who's doing it best, and who's not getting caught.

@@julioalvarez9650 People are struggling with the economy around the world, unless PEDs are a lot cheaper than I realize, I can't fathom how people would be justifying spending money on PEDs if they're not close to elite level.
This is sad news for Brazil's track and field community. There had been some suspicions around him for a while now. Firstly, his gf/wife got caught while training in Kenya by a test prob led by an anonymous report. After that, the dopping agencies thought about screening Daniel. Secondly, he didn't compete in the Pan American games where he would probably be tested, even though he was in the games hotel and fully registered to run the 10k. Later his excuse was that he took the wrong bus and arrived late to the race. The truth of the matter is if his gf hadn't been caught he would probably walked way free.
His team posted a statement saying he is basically contactless right now. They explained that he has been dealing with serious mental health issues for the past few months and missing the Olympics it isn't the biggest concern; his mental health struggles seems like far more severe than missing the Olympics. Also, his legal team has been unable to contact him. Seems like he's in real trouble and it’s worth noting that the test was conducted in Brazil. Considering the upcoming Olympic marathon in less than a month, it seems unlikely that he was supposed to be in Brazil training right now.
Back in the day when I was competing in marathons, I was offered the opportunity (by a well known sports doctor) to be a guinea pig for some new drug. I had nothing to lose, so took the jab (this was before drug testing was an issue). The shot was remarkable even though I only tested it on a half marathon & a cross country event. So I tried it before a full marathon, & ended up like this guy. Sure, you can get a lift and it's a fantastic feeling when everything is working, but once the juice runs out, you simply crash & burn, just like this guy did. Whether a bigger dose would have enabled me to last the distance, I'll never know as I never tried anything like that again.
They are not taking banned substances. Guess they are taking stuff which is not banned yet. Or some other trick to not detect it. The other possibility is that they sometimes do get caught but shoved under the carpet. A lot of money is at stake.
Olympics sports like running and swimming are, and were always drowning in ban substances. Back in 1976 Olympics, the East German female swimmers, which won almost everything, were all on ban substances. East Germany had a National doping program. Technnology in doping is much more advanced than the screening. And countries will hide doping test results to win medals. In this instance, I'm really not intested in any sport requiring endurance or strenght like powerlifting, because you can be sure participants are all on performance enhancing drugs.
Whatever your thoughts are about the financial incentives v. doping - those images of that guy - on two different occasions - passed out on the street should disturb everyone. That's not natural. That's not how distance runners back off from an over ambitious initial pace - they don't just fall out.
seems like they were probably focusing on his VO2max and aerobic sustainability with the doping but not on muscle fatique xD legs gave up on him as it looks like ^^

@@chocolate_squiggle You know when you see a massive list of unpronounceable chemicals on product labels? I meant stuff like that. Also, I wonder if there are any banned substances in the prescription drugs I take.
I'm still holding to my theory that the truly top guys don't cheat because they have everything to lose, but cheating is common among people like Do Nascimento because they have little to lose and everything to gain. There's no money for coming in 8th or 15th or having an impressive start but DNF. Other people always say, "No, the top guys cheat, too." But when asked how they get away with it, the answer is often, "They just do." As someone training to run 2:35, it's not hard to imagine a top athlete, who might be 30 lbs lighter than me and runs an extra 12-20 miles per day than me, running a minute per mile faster. It's insanely fast but I don't think you'd have to cheat to do it.
Daniel was born with a good body and a bad mind. A true champion is made up of body and mind. I hope he transforms his mind! We here in Brazil are sorry for this!
So this guy really sucks then. All that super juice in his blood and he chokes during races by collapsing way before the finish line! Now, imagine his performance without the magic juice. He'd collapse at the starting line.

So he admits to doping...then what? He'll never be on top again without doping. Much the same as Oh so many others out there.
My take away is that the Brazilians didn’t pay enough for exemptions 😅.
Since it appears the dopping happened in Kenya, maybe he was taking what the runners from Kenya were taking.
Whatever your thoughts are about the financial incentives v. doping - those images of that guy - on two different occasions - passed out on the street should disturb everyone. That's not natural. That's not how distance runners back off from an over ambitious initial pace - they don't just fall out.
3 year ban for cheating doesn't seem fair...that isn't going to prevent cheaters. Also at what point is Kenya as a country is banned?
seems like they were probably focusing on his VO2max and aerobic sustainability with the doping but not on muscle fatique xD legs gave up on him as it looks like ^^
I wouldn't be surprised if it was just the top of the iceberg... For me it's obvious that Kelvin Kiptum was heavily dropping himself
I really hate peds. It just goes to show that there's no love for the sport and it's all about fame and greed? I mean why else would someone compromise their health?
Enhanced Games needs to be a thing already
Damn this is sad. I remember your report on the NY marathon
What effect do the banned drugs have? Would they cause loss of conciousness when they wear off? More info please.
This dude deserves permanent ban if the actions were intentional
Yea, why are we allowing cheaters who get caught with three substances in their system to get a quick 3 year ban and come back to dope again?
Can we just acknowledge that most runners are on something and just accept it and let the sport be a free for all
Yep, these doping whistleblowers are racists
@@rayflaherty3441 it's true. I got censored for my answer of assent. It's discriminatory on national or ethnic grounds to assert that Kenyans should be banned. I know LAWYERS in the US who use PEDs. All types of people use them, and they'll never be brought to light. Let's not dog pile on Kenyan athletes.
@@tquasa07 It's not true I'm afraid. Just a myth that a vocal minority keep claiming with no proof. Where are the studies studies showing most runners are on peds?
Were not referring to non-athletes. It's not uncommon at all in the US for non athletes to take PEDS. I saw a Huge percent of middle aged men are on some type of drugs. But who cares. But I care about athletes. @@tquasa07
Every time I hear a banned substance I've never heard of before, I always think of what common products have it in them.
No, otherwise hundreds more people would be testing positive unexpectedly.
gatorade recovery gummies 🤣
@@chocolate_squiggle You know when you see a massive list of unpronounceable chemicals on product labels? I meant stuff like that. Also, I wonder if there are any banned substances in the prescription drugs I take.
Everybody s doped. no way a clean runner or any performer can beat a juiced one.
Nandrolone? The burritos strike again!
They’re all on steroids -Nate Diaz
Dude gonna be remembered for all the wrong things.
I'm still holding to my theory that the truly top guys don't cheat because they have everything to lose, but cheating is common among people like Do Nascimento because they have little to lose and everything to gain. There's no money for coming in 8th or 15th or having an impressive start but DNF. Other people always say, "No, the top guys cheat, too." But when asked how they get away with it, the answer is often, "They just do." As someone training to run 2:35, it's not hard to imagine a top athlete, who might be 30 lbs lighter than me and runs an extra 12-20 miles per day than me, running a minute per mile faster. It's insanely fast but I don't think you'd have to cheat to do it.
Naive. If number 5 dopes, number 1 HAS to dope to compete, these are strong drugs that boost performance by ALOT
Jeez I really liked this guy too, haven’t seen him race in a while though.
African athletics always dominate the marathon.
let's be honest, was there anyone that believed his results were legit?
Microdosages were not micro enough
This has nothing to do with Kenya,😢
Geez. I have been fooled this whole time.
1:28
Fastest non African born marathoner was never Nascimento (No81)
it is Amdouni (No27).
bro got the ominous music on
Daniel was born with a good body and a bad mind. A true champion is made up of body and mind. I hope he transforms his mind!
We here in Brazil are sorry for this!
Morhad Amdouni #27 was born in France not Africa.
But he is from North African descent.
@@jeremapp4378 Not born in Tunisia though.
Shocked. I'm totally shocked.
Another one bites the dust! 👊
its not a question if you dope its only a question if you get caught
Everyone is on juice. Just a few get caught.
So this guy really sucks then. All that super juice in his blood and he chokes during races by collapsing way before the finish line! Now, imagine his performance without the magic juice. He'd collapse at the starting line.
