Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- The goalposts have literally just moved for marathon running," former London marathon winner Paula Radcliffe said during commentary of the race for the BBC.
- Kejelcha added: "It's very important for clean sport.
- I'm so happy because I had a lot of courage to push, even when the pace was fast." Kejelcha was full of praise for Sawe's mission to prove his races are clean, which included taking 25 extra voluntary drug tests before…
- Maybe I, for the future, will do the same thing.
Key claims in source B
- He began running at an early age but announced himself on the world stage at the 2023 World Cross Country Championships, finishing seventh in the men's 10km race behind the likes of Jacob Kiplimo and Joshua Cheptegei.
- On crossing the line, he simply said: "I am feeling good, I am so happy.
