Lagat lost a lot of money from this -- probably close to 100k. I'm glad that he was cleared.
He probably would have medalled -- even a bronze is worth 20k. When you medal you usually trigger a shoe contract (as well as other sponsors) bonus. So he probably lost another 40-50k there. Plus he lost out on any post WC appearances and prize money.
