	Bernard Lagat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bernard Kipchirchir Lagat (born December 12, 1974 in Kapsabet, Kenya) is a middle and long distance athlete.
		Lagat attended Washington State University, as had previous athletic greats Henry Rono and Mike Kosgei, from where he graduated in 2000 in management information systems.
		The U.S. does allow dual citizenship and consequently races run by Lagat after May 7th could have been ratified as American records since USATF rules only state that an athlete has to be a U.S. citizen competing in a sanctioned competition to be eligible to set a national record.

	Track & Field News: Expert Critical of Lagat EPO Test
		To recap briefly, Bernard has been the second-ranked 1,500 metres runner in the world since 2001 but on August 22, the eve of the 2003 World Championships, he was informed that he had provided a positive test for the banned substance EPO.
		Bernard was immediately suspended from competition by the IAAF but on October 1 was cleared of having taken EPO or any other illegal drugs, following further testing of the urine sample he had provided in an out-of-competition test on August 8.
		Lagat´s B-sample did not reveal any reactive components in positions taken as indication of a positive test, the original A-sample showed bands in this region which, however, were not fully identical with those of the reference recombinant Epo and might well be due to glycoprotein modifications.
