And he won despite it ... Kenians are some incredibly talented long-distance runners

It turns out that Kenyans' success may be innate. Two separate, European-led studies in a small region in western Kenya, which produces most of the race-winners, found that young men there could, with only a few months training, reliably outperform some of the West's best professional runners. In other words, they appeared to have a physical advantage that is common to their community, making it probably genetic. The studies found significant differences in body mass index and bone structure between the Western pros and the Kenyan amateurs who had bested them. The studied Kenyans had less mass for their height, longer legs, shorter torsos, and more slender limbs. One of the researchers described the Kenyan physical differences as "bird-like," noting that these traits would make them more efficient runners, especially over long distances.

Or perhaps their long term dominance might have something to do with this:

"Wada says there is no blood testing for EPO in Kenya's big training centre for distance runners."

"The world’s best distance runners, who regularly converge to train in the rarefied highlands of Kenya, have done so without being blood tested for the banned endurance booster EPO, sophisticated blood transfusions or human growth hormone."
