“They have not helped me. When it happened, Claudio was with me and when this came up, he’s not with me anymore and he has not called me.
“Even Federico abandoned me and now I train on my own. There was a time Claudio was almost being deported over the affair and I took him to AK and stated he was not involved. I also told Isaiah Kiplagat that Federico was also not involved.
“They are still coaching and representing many runners. I have no manager or coach; I train with my brothers and our friends,” he claimed.
Kisorio’s comeback plot
With a half marathon career best of 58:46 that was the world leading mark in 2011 and two top-ten finishes at the Boston and New York Marathons, Kisorio is well aware he will not be ushered to the high table of distance running with open arms once his ban elapses in July 2014.
However, his period out in the cold has aided him to focus on improving on his running technique as he bids to return to the top in the example of recently coined world champion, LeShawn Merritt (men 400m) and silver winner, Justin Gatlin (men 100m).
“Even without a coach, I can do what it takes to achieve since I understand my body. For starters, I will not run marathons for sometime since I cannot run in the Majors like Boston or New York
“I intend to start with second class events. I want to focus on road races, 10K and half marathons and go for the world record. I will be back in July next year; I want to improve my PB in half,” he outlines.
And he is not done with donning his country’s strip despite the stigma that comes with failing a drug test.
“Later, I can target the 2016 marathon at the Olympics. For now, some managers have started contacting me but I’m not in a hurry, they have to wait for me to come back, run two or three races in Kenya and then after that, I will decide on what company to sign for.
“At the moment, I’m still working with Nike, I train with their kit and I’m not in a rush to clinch any deal.”
