n this episode, Michael Doyle and Alex Cyr break down one of the biggest scandals in marathon history: Ruth Chepngetich’s doping ban. They trace the story from her shocking 2:09:56 world record in Chicago (04:00) to the first signs of suspicion, the January London Marathon announcement (10:00), and the moment the positive drug test surfaced (13:00). The hosts then unpack the digital evidence found on her phone (16:00), the decision behind her three-year suspension (20:00), and the incriminating WhatsApp messages about banned substances (22:00). Later, they debate what happens to her world record (33:00), how Nike and World Athletics handled the fallout (27:00), and whether she — and her agent — should be banned for life (50:00). The episode closes with a discussion about how the sport can recover from yet another doping crisis (54:00).
