Nice rant! Well done and deserving of at least one response. |

I really want to like Salazar. He is the link from the Golden Age, Boston contingent of US marathoners. What keeps me from liking him though is his personality. In the Runner's World excerpt he bashes on Beardsley compared to Beardsley's humble and respectful view towards Salazar. He's blamed his personal steep decline on asthma and allergies, heart blockages and overtraining at various times. He comes across as bitter and resentful that his running career faltered. (Haven't read the book, so I don't know what he blames it on there) He has the best technology and dollars the US has to offer, the best athletes are drawn to him and his group hasn't had the success that reflects that. (Even with "grey area" advantages) So yeah, we're rats, but what does that make him? A flea? |

This just goes to show what a giant festering hoohaw you were. Anyone who isn't brave enough to say something to someone's face has to go behind their back to rip on them. You sound like you were a bunch of cackling sorority girls...tearing down what you could never be. Alberto Salazar always was and always will be better than you. You're weak.

don't be sad man. salazaar is extremely elitist and out of touch. i like his little comment in the movie, "Spirit of The Marathon", where he says something in conjecture of "I suppose the reason most people run the marathon is because it helps them in their daily lives." I don't know something about the tone and the way he stressed certain words in that sentence made me think he views anyone who runs a marathon slower than 2:10 as someone doing it in vibrams, in a cotton t-shirt, while on sabbatical from yoga for a weekend. |

He does the opposite as we do. He rips on anonymous poeple, identifying himself but not the target of his attacks. This is Jedi level 2 trolling, which one can only achieve if the Jedi master himself is your padre.[/quote] hmm, jedi level trolling? i like the sound of that. |

What kind of idiot would spent Nike's money on Alter G's, Cry-o-saunas, and altitude houses and NOT push the envelope with "grey" supps? BTW it was Salazar himself who admitted his relationship with Balco, that he had blood sent there. His defense was he was only intrigued by ZMA. Are you telling me Conte, who at the time though he was completely untouchable, who indeed had an untestable PED, didn't mention it to Salazar? You really think Salazar had no idea about Conte's other "supplements?" Modafinil, HGH, Testosterone cream, EPO, THG, and on and on... That Salazar is such an idiot he thought all the Balco athletes were just low on ZINC! You don't think Salazar's athletes STILL don't use thyroid meds, and testosterone cream to raise their levels within legal limits? You don't think his athletes have used low dose SARMS and Aicar/Gw1516? Why wouldn't they? Why wouldn't YOU if you were a professional runner? Because you're just so honest? When you're just exploiting a "grey" area, not breaking any rules? The only reason everyone isn't is they can't beat the Kenyans anyway and there's so little money in the sport. |

Well, he's right. The idiocy on this board HAS to stop. It's not productive and serves no useful purpose short of fulfilling the empty egos of the imbecilic dweebs still living in their mother's basement that post on here. Enough is enough. |

Honest? That he sent blood to Conte, by his own self-admission, but it was just to test for low zinc?! What about all the blood tests he has his athletes take now? You don't think epi/test levels might have something to do with it? Or maybe you believe he needs a full hormone panel to check for low iron? |

Doesn't it seem worse than ever lately? Crazy weird stuff, like everyone with half sense has given up and the board is now ruled by total whack jobs. Been around here for a long long time and LR forum has had its bad moments but it just seems awful now. I think rats are good compared to these worms. Spineless slimy losers. |

Junk Master is spot on. If you don't think our American guys are on at least on testosterone, thyroid meds and low dose research chemicals you are nuts. An example is testosterone. Not banned and the 'normal' levels range from 200 to 800. An athlete at 700 recovers a hell of a lot faster than an athlete at 300. It's a grey area and most with the resources (ahem...ahem..) will operate in that grey area. Another question...If you use a chemical and it's not banned yet or there is not a test is it cheating? Is that illegal? Think about it. |

For a moment he was alone, then the door opened and O'Brien came in. " You asked me once ", said O'Brien, " what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world." The door opened again. A guard came in, carrying something made of wire, a box or basket of some kind. He set it down on the further table. Because of the position in which O'Brien was standing. Alberto could not see what the thing was. " The worst thing in the world ", said O'Brien, " varies from individual to individual. It may be burial alive, or death by fire, or by drowning, or by impalement, or fifty other deaths. There are cases where it is some quite trivial thing, not even fatal." He had moved a little to one side, so that Alberto had a better view of the thing on the table. It was an oblong wire cage with a handle on top for carrying it by. Fixed to the front of it was something that looked like a fencing mask, with the concave side outwards. Although it was three or four metres away from him, he could see that the cage was divided lengthways into two compartments, and that there was some kind of creature in each. They were Letsrun rats. |

Thanks, TLW. As a Master (over 45 now), I can tell you hormone levels effect recovery to the extent that IMO they are more important than coach's technique work or special workout. Work hard, recover, get faster. Work hard, don't recover, get slower. The harder you work, the faster you get. BUT when you start adding exogenous testosterone and thyroid and other research chems, you no longer reward hard work, you reward the genetic profile that responds the best to exogenous chems. You end up with chemical warfare, not sport. Again, running is just lucky there's no money in the sport. Look at football and baseball. BTW there is still no HGH test in the NFL. So now, as a father of a son who loves football and has the genes to potentially play in college or beyond, what am I supposed to tell him when in comes time to have an informed discussion about PEDS? Speaking of which, I remember reading about Salazar waking his son, who at the time was a redshirt football player at Oregon, up during the middle of the night to get one more protein shake into him to gain weight. Are you telling me if he'd do that, he wouldn't just say, "Here rub a little of this cream on your thigh," to raise his T levels up WITHIN LEGAL LIMITS? |

Junk Master this is all pure conjecture on your part, and you have not provided one single link as a source for your libelous allegations. You have not even provided a link that Alberto sent urine to VConte at BALCO. |

I've never understood the reaction that the messageboards generate? We are a professional sport, correct? Galen Rupp is a professional athlete? Does Salazar not realize that people are free to offer their opionions and he is free to not pay any attention. Why does he feel that everyone must treat his athletes with kid-gloves? Can you imagine Derek Jeter crying everytime someone attacked him on a messageboard or talk radio after he had a bad game? |
