Fred Kerley has finally spoken after he was arrested for alleged assault.
“Eliud is a person who reads my mind. Sometimes when I come in here and I’m not talking loudly or laughing, maybe something is bothering me, he’s like, ‘I think something is disturbing you. What is it?” Faith Kipyegon said as per Nike.
“I feel free to share with him because he’s like my brother, and I’m with him all the time here. I listen to him, and after two minutes, I’m laughing again. Then we keep going and focus on the day.
“He is like a computer! I don’t know who told him, but he had already read my mind. Maybe he had this thought as well, that I could try something to cement my legacy. When I told him, he told me, ‘I think you have decided on a good thing to do.”
