This "fan portrait" might be updated by somebody who knows more about Rono. In another article (Richard Chelimo) as well as in the German Wikipedia's article on Rono, it is stated that Rono's later life was disturbed by alcohol use and homelessness. It is also said that bad managers had Rono to run too many races, causing injuries and destroying his career. Those are interesting and important facts that seem true and could thus be included.
