Alberto Salazar and Lance Armstrong relationship

I don't think he was doping during that period but I do think he returned to doping earlier this year when he decided he wanted to win kona.

he still could have helped salazar's athletes

No because Salazar wouldn't ask, and Armstrong wouldn't tell.

Salazar is his own man and is already dedicated to a clean program.

Salazar also is Nike Corporate, and if he were to be caught violating WADA, it would cause a congressional investigation of Nike.

You can assume that the word from Phil Knight on down is that Nike programs will be CLEAN, period.

The stuff you read here on this board is by light witted, jealous and paranoid people.

you really believe anyone associated with Lance is on Drugs?...that list is 1000s of people! Come on...get off Al's back!

No.

If anything Salazar passed on his cheating ways to Lance.

Salazar has been involved with doping since the time Lance was a toddler.

This is laughable that anyone that sees this isn't 100% suspicious. Nike has power greater than Lance in sport. Phil is just a more powerful version of Lance. Why else would he state that he would never say never to Lance being welcomed back into Nike family. Lance's justification of doping is same that Nike takes in every sport it supports especially running and track.

I guess we'll know if Mary Cain ever wins the Tour de France seven times.

Looking at the URL's below that show Salazar helping Lance train for the 2011 Ironman World Championships and helped Lance by pacing him in the ING New York Marathon in 2006.

I'm just wondering IF and that's IF Lance has been using PED's or blood doping if he could have passed on his cheating ways to Salazar's athetes Farah and Rupp and others.

What do you think?

That's a big IF bro, stop speculating. Salazar is a clean dude

Would Lance just obliterate the field on the bike if he had been able to compete in Kona? What kind of bike split would he have?

I have no idea about biking/triathlon times.

I love it when threads like this are dredged up.

At this point Salazar admitted to running exogenous Test on a teenager and nothing happened.

Ummm, yet. Still under investigation for the teen testing, and a bunch of other stuff. Salazar's attorneys are being paid very well to try to keep things behind closed doors.

Allberto must take Ambien to help his medical condition of "insomnia".

Alberto Salazar was Mary Decker Slaney's coach in 1996 when she was banned for testing positive for elevated testosterone levels above the 6:1 T/E ratio at the time, which was later lowered to the present 4:1 ratio.

Galen Rupp also had a note in some records that referred to testosterone medication.

Alberto Salazar also has admitted that he rubbed testosterone gel on his son and had blood tests done to see if "possible sabotage" could lead to elevated testosterone levels on a blood test.

That would also be administering a controlled prescription drug to another person without a valid prescription for that controlled drug by that person.

Last time I checked, Alberto Salazar does not have a license to practice medicine or administer controlled prescription drugs to other people, including his son. I think that would also be a violation of various federal laws.

The CEO of USADA is Travis Tygart. He is the guy who was the head lawyer in the BALCO case and also got Lance Armstrong even with death threats against him. He is now investigating Alberto Salazar.

No worries.

Salazar provided/administered more than one controlled prescription drug to his athletes. I expect many athletes did not really know what Salazar was giving them to easy aches and pains.

There needs to be some for of disciplinary action against Salazar to teach other coaches that playing doctor is strictly forbidden.

Do you mean thyroid hormones or beta-2 agonist asthma inhalers? Both are prescription drugs but are not controlled drugs like testosterone or other anabolic steroids.

I think there was also an empty bottle of the thyroid hormone drug cytomel (T3) that had Alberto Salazar's handwriting on it. Kara Goucher said that Alberto tried to get her to take the thyroid hormone prescription drug to help her lose weight that she had gained from her pregnancy and childbirth.

That would also be a violation of various federal laws.

No worries.

I mean controlled prescription drugs. Things that only licensed medical professional can prescribe. Salazar claimed his TUE doctor prescribed cytomel for Goucher. He produced a claim from "his" doctor that stated "that athlete" (no name was given) could take cytomel. That athlete could have been anyone, and stating it as "that athlete" is likely how Salazar wanted the prescription made out. Legit prescriptions are person specific, not generic like Salazar's.

All prescription drugs like cytomel can only be prescribed by doctors (also maybe some drugs by LNPs). Controlled drugs such as anabolic steroids are prescription drugs with additional restrictions and record keeping on prescriptions including having a DEA registration number and other things to prevent abuse of these controlled drugs. All prescriptions are only for an individual patient.I do not know about your version of the story with "that athlete".

And other drugs... wrote:
