Salazar Is Obsessed With Drug Testing

Does your calculator have anything to say about this, or did you just pull this one out of your shorts?

No, you have to give your Whereabouts every 3 months, and then update it by text/email/online if you deviate from this. This is for 24 hours of the day, every day. It's really not that difficult to do (just send a text with details), but you have to remember to do it if you ~add a competition and travel somewhere.

They give you an hour to be where you're supposed to be. They'll knock/ring the doorbell/call you. You don't have to update if you can get back within that hour of them arriving and you being where you're supposed to be (if you didn't update them). So if I was out training for an extra 30 min. (until 3:30pm), and they showed up at my house at 3pm, I'd sure as heck better get back home by 4pm. Otherwise, you'd send USADA a text beforehand letting them know when/where/how long you plan to be out training. These are the rules us athletes were educated on, and they have to abide by them too.

Just stating the obvious wrote:

So Salazar feels its important to keep the testers updated on the whereabouts of his athletes at all times? Sounds like a coach with nothing to hide...

No. It's Alberto creating a cove and cleverly getting you to believe that.

He created the cover for Rupp and the thyroid back in 2005 or 2006.

Now he's creating cover for Farah.

As for being obsessed, he should be. Those three are going down.

For the highest ranking athletes it's not like this. THis is just for tier 2 athletes.

For tier 1 (basically those with A standards and a little better) you give them 1 hour during the day. Most athletes use 6-7am because everyday they would be there.

It's really not that difficult.

You fill out a calendar. And if you travel you just change a few days here or there.

It's because of the 3 strikes rule.

You miss 3 tests and its a positive.

They want to save their missed tests until they really need them.

Farah's probably missed his 2 quota.

I was going to say that nearly implies that they already have had two misses!

Just by listening to interviews/the nature of his career/the very nature of the Nike OP suggests that AlSal has some obsessive compulsive tendencies.

Why was Farah in Salt Lake?

Dr. Gunderson?

Park City, Altitude Training.

Yes, there's the National Testing Pool (NTP) and the International Testing Pool (ITP), where you have to designate 1 hr. of the day. I don't understand why they do this cause the whole idea of out-of-competition testing is to be 'surprised', and this lessens the surprise.

Obsession . . . finally you pick a topic in which you are well versed.

Good luck trying to find a topic that I'm not well-versed in.

Two spring to mind:

1. English. "in which I am not well-versed" not "that I'm not well-versed in"

2. Not being an arrogant prick

You are truly a mental midget. You are ostensibly offering approbation for a post which offers NOTHING more than an ill-advised opinion regarding my impeccable use of the language, and I pity the simpleton who makes such feeble efforts at advising a genius on how to employ a language of which his command is unparalleled.

This "1 hour/day window" rule doesn´t mean that testers can´t show up anytime they like. Read the USATF rule book (it´s on the net).

actually it is permissible to put prepositions (like 'in') at the end of a sentence. Most people find it poor writing, but it is grammatically correkt.

You're making this too easy, simpleton.

"his command of which is unparalleled" not "of which his command is unparalleled ". Time to go back to your parents' basement.

Of course, which is why we had to fill out the Whereabouts for 24 hour. The drug testing rules are with USADA, and we had to go through educational training and testing of the rules. It just seems with the ITP athletes and the 60 min. slot, you'd know more likely when they'd come (but the rules are stricter if someone does show up in the 60 min. slot, read here:

)

This character is becoming a very entertaining poster.

"Altitude training," has become THE euphemism for PED use, the "creatine or Andro" of the Bonds/McGuire baseball era.

Will Salazar ever come clean about his systematic Thyroid doping protocol? What about the low dose SARMS?

Actually, once again my use of the language is beyond reproach, as you are erroneously attempting to correct what has no need for correction. You're the type who, despite drowning in ignorance, would be pestering da Vinci about how he could improve the Mona Lisa.

Back to the thread's subject. Yes, Alberto is obsessive, and this will likely make it more difficult for Galen Rupp to relax and perform as he's capable, as his ceiling dictates that he COULD finish as high as 5th in the 10,000m. Also, I would venture to guess that IF his athletes are attempting to gain every edge, the obsession with drug testing would be inevitable for Salazar.
