Eliud Kipchoge’s Sub-Two-Hour Marathon Record is Fake, US-Based Kenyan Lawyer Makau Mutua Says

An educated fool has eyes to see but he can't all we know Kip broke the record period!!!!

True. It was fake that is why it was not recognised as a normal record. It was a controlled marathon. However, he ran anyway and completed under two hours..I think the organisers are the ones who ought to have come out honestly and expressly make it clear to everyone that it was not a normal race. I think they kind of made it look like a normal race. They were not honest. The company; INEOS has continued to take advantage of the race in subsequent tweets propagating the 1:59 fete. They were not honest right from the beginning.

ok, this fool should round up his folks and go do the same with that bald head of his. nonsense, what a MORON. KUMBAFF

Mr. Mutua, if you are yearning for attention, there are better ways of getting it.You are just about the only one who is reading this INEOS project result negatively.
What you are asserting here is not new,except that your language is malicious,and Anti-Kipchoge.
You seen to think that any dick-head would have done what Kipchoge did.I even doubt that you are a sports fan.What do you mean by "pace makers were friendly" to Kipchoge? Well did you expect adversarial relationship amongst them? They paced according to plan,and executed that plan to perfection.
For your own information, what no human is limited means that there is no preset level or limit to be reached.Of course Kipchoge is not stupid to think that one can run a marathon in one hour.
I think we should look into how you acquired your academic credentials.They way you think does not jive with the scholastic achievement you claim to have.
Let KIP enjoy his accolades in peace.Yes he got the president's attention,and you did not.Even Obama commented on his historic achievement.
Go dont let your sour grapes choke you.

Kopchoge proof them wrong by running Boston marathon or Chicago in less than 2 hours.

Hi Proff, please don't be like Miguna who doesn't see anything good from his motherland, be the good prof you've always been and cheer our legend for the accomplished task, given,nobody could have done it even under those 'friendly'circumstances

Inaonekana huyu msomi anaweza kumshinda Kipchoge mbio.Loo! Na ngonja washindane.

This is the same guy who vowed he would never acknowledge Uhuru as president of Kenya. He then goes ahead and applies for the position of Chief Justice. That's hypocricy.

In this instance you are peeing on the parade, Seems you cant bare to see somebody else enjoy the limelight. You may have a deep rooted psychological problem.

You are dumber than a rock. He wasn't competing against people but he put all the conditions favourable to beat the 2 hour mark.

This man makau mutua bile may burst coz of hate.If kipchoge marathon is fake Run yours we see.

Being in America is nothing,the facts remain kipchoge is a champion, he has run under 2hr

Your degree is fake not kipchoge sub 2hr

If mutua can't even run a mile under 4 minutes then he has no room to say a damn thang.

He pocketed 400m. What have got prof scatter brain.

Could somebody just shut the mouth of this ingrate? Please.

This guy is arrogant and proud. In the class of fake general Miguna.

Maybe we should put this lawyer on a treadmill and set it at 12+mph just to teach him a lesson.

He is jealous. That is all.

No one stated the event was a race.
The improper description of the pacers shows running ignorance. I don't know if this Kenyan lawyer ever raced but I did. My opinion is the pacing does not help as much as proposed. We runners know how to Pace n race and I don't care who is in the race. I react to my form n my goals.
What was the goal?
To see if it was physically possible for a human to run 13.1 miles per hour for two hours. It was this proven. End of story.
Shoes? Great....some guys I used to race shoes won't help them at all.... their talent is the controller.
The whole economic role of superior shoes is called Capitalism.
Pace marks? Nice but only marginally helps. A runner who is "on" knows what he is doing and I really doubt Kip worried much about lights.
Ohh, is all of cycling who utilize the peloton and drafting and top scientifically designed bicycles all fraud now.
Kip has good competition and his uncanny range from a mile (World 1500m champ) to marathon is rare. Kip n his competition will someday break 1:59 in a race because they have the talent.
I hope this lawyer replies with his running back ground or I suggest he do some "field research" and RACE

Mutua are you attacking kipchoge or the Kalenjins? And why now after kibra elections? There is a difference between a cooperate vision and a personal vision. He proved he had a personal vision and achieved it. Do you have any and what have you achieved. Usipake kenya matope. Kaa America the land of the dead. Soon you will regret why you sought refuge there.

Any Kenyan with two same names and he is in exile from a country which has no civil war is a cheap cheater. And it's not wise to keep listening or reading their poems. The MM's

Don’t listen to this fool Kipchoge wasn’t competing with anyone but time try even with one mile we see buree kabisa

I had some little respect left for you but that’s evaporated completely now. You are a disgrace to the human race. I dare say a psychopath with an over exaggerated sense of self. Shame on you for attacking a dignified Kenyan hero, a father, a husband and a respected sportsman world over. Have you ever run a marathon in your life? Try and prove that you do at least 30 minutes. Buffoon wewe. I pity your students if you have any that is.

I hate to be this idiot's student. He is either ignorant or high on weed! M.M claims to be a prof; no idea in what field but based on his last articles I am tempted to believe he ain't what he is! When E. Kipchoge signed up for 1:59 INEOS; anyone who was curious to find out about it, read and understood that the event was MAN vs TIME!
Kipchoge vs time (under 1:59) given all parameters kept constant if possible.
This fool Makau Mutua just woke up from his nap or alcohol or drugs and thinks he knows too much. Go back to your drugs idiot or if it bothers you too much get your fat ass and go to Dicks and grab some track and field outfit(that's if you find one that fits you) and sign up for your own under 1:59, i promise to watch you pass out before you hit a mile MORON!

Well all those IAAF world records accomplished in the diamond league that have pacers are fake as well,is this the argument being popularized here?
Human achievement should always be gloried. I wonder if other marathoners given the same conditions can accomplish this? Also in the diamond league these runners run one race unlike other competitions like olympics,world,commonwealth, etc does this mean these runners have an unfair advantage and should not be credited with world records?

While everyone involved in this project was aware that it wouldn't be an official record, it's still amazing that he was able to run that distance in under two hours. There's no need to call it "fake."

Some people dont even follow anything from implimantation and the stages up to the final day.You here people saying they were misled by Ineos.From that on it's own ir shows that the person is clueless,why argue with that person.What I know my hero broke his own record and that's final.You can say whatever you want say.If you dont have something positive to say just shut up.

My brilliant Harvard Law School classmate and friend, Makau Mutua, is a scholar, not an athlete! Usually he's insightful, but he's way off the mark on this one. Kipchoge holds both marks, the real WR and this sub-2. No one is confusing the sub-2, run behind a wind-blocking truck and a group of the world's next-best professional distance runners, with the legitimate world record of 2:01:39 that Kipchoge set winning the 2018 Berlin marathon. But his Vienna sub-2 was still an awe-inspiring achievement. Running 4:33 per mile for 26.2 miles is absolutely astonishing! Ask the best competitive runner you know how long he can maintain a 4:33 per mile pace and you'll learn why Kipchoge's competitors are also his greatest admirers!

What's the point of his argument, save for being plain antagonistic? Sit down, sir!

This is another statistic about a house nigga feud on a field nigga scenario. Why should the cretics come from within the house. We know very well time and again as Napoleon said it better that history is a set of lies agreed upon. Let’s be proud of our story period.
