8. Ruth Czepngetic, a woman who ran 2:09.56 in Chicago in 2024, was banned for 3 years by the HGTZ for using a masking agent 190 times the normal use. His record should be expunged. The way it stands is very bad for the sport.
9. Is it good that Ruth Cepngetic is able to keep the Chicago Marathon money and the world record? We at #RunBlogRun say a resounding NO.
