Reliable? Based on what? When has he ever proven himself reliable? The only other posts of his I can remember are moronic ones comparing Mo to a 100m sprinter.
What about the 20 times he's posted about high mileage being 'ineffective for him' since running 100mpw for a month and then quitting. lol.
Guys, it's just a random high schooler. The 18 is an age. Ignore him.

LOL. He runs high mileage for like 6 weeks, then drops back down to low mileage and starts running PRs. His conclusion is the high mileage did nothing.
Gotta be a troll I hope...
I tend to be condescending... wrote:
Nike sponsors Houston.
What happens if he speaks up? Boom. Not just XC and track, but every sport at that school loses Nike.
Not to mention that he may have signed something while working with NOP... I don't know. I'm willing to admit that...
Steve Magness is one hell of a guy though. To me, the fact that #ocl says he is a tool proves that he doesn't know him.
He has a reason for not speaking up. This guy DESPISES drug cheats. Check his Twitter about these former drug cheaters as coaches.
I agree. If a group like Oregon Project has all their good runners on the EPO microdosing program, but some get burnt out because of the intense work load, it is logical that some (like Kara) are disgruntled and left with a bad taste in their mouth about the group. The problem with this is they know the drug program in detail. So, as is likely the case with Magness, it only makes sense that they sign a contract saying they can't say anything... plus as someone else stated, Nike would make Magness lose his job.

Hey man I'm not a troll. I decided to try high mileage a couple times and got burnt out and mentally exhausted both times. Didn't work for me.
And the reason for the NotAustin18 name is that the summer before my sophomore year I made a xbox live account(which I never use anymore) and needed a username or whatever and my dad told me not to use my real name so I used NotAustin then added the 18 cuz I wanted to break 18 for 5k that upcoming xc season.

Thanks for supporting me dude!
People keep mentioning a nondisclosure agreement between Magness and Nike. That would not protect Nike from any illegal activities.

Probably not. But there is still a liability issue. If Magness were to come out with a public statement about
PEDs he could be sued and defending himself successfully would pretty much require him to have some sort of proof that the cheating really took place. That's a tough, tough, thing to do and not something that a lot of people would want to go through.

well said
Well at least al sal isn't a major hypocrite. Steve has written all kinds of anti-Title IX rants on this board and now look at him coaching a women's team that wouldn't exist without Title IX. Has anyone fact checked his science book?
There is absolutely nothing here to suggest PEDs or anything like that. Think of it this way: say Magness and Salazar had a falling out, a fight, whatever, and now they hate each other. Magness isn't going to go on about what a great coach Salazar is, he's going to say he enjoyed his time at NOP and leave it at that.

Well I didn't know about the anti-Title 9 stuff, but regarding it I'd like to say that I think its good in theory but flawed in practice. When men and women get equal scholarships, men give the majority to football. I read somewhere 85 football scholarships while xc or track(again was awhile since I read the article) have only 14 scholarships on average. This isn't fair. Whereas women don't have a sport like football so their scholarships are distributed more evenly across the sports. I think the fairest way to do things is either make each sport have a certain number of scholarships per athlete, or have each sport a set amount of scholarships like 25. I prefer the former.
Title 9 is flawed in practice. The issue needs attention and to be addressed. It isn't fair for non football male athletes but beneficial for everyone else.

And not listing Alberto as an influence is crap. If weren't Alberto letting him work with his athletes, what credentials does he have? He was fast in HS and has gone to grad school. I guess that is as good as anyone in else on one sense, but.....it does prove to me he is some kind of expert coach or guru as he seems to think he is.
Magness realizes Nike just inked a long term deal with USA T&F.
Magness is NO fool.

The book was not spell-checked, let alone fact-checked...

Football generates the most revenue of all sports. Track and field and XC generally don't generate any revenue.

Bingo. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Exactly, since he was an employee of Nike, a public company, he'd be protected under the whistleblower statute in Dodd-Frank.
I tend to think AlSal is doping, but he's being protected by omerta and nothing else.
It's called taking the high road.
This is a dying sport that few Americans care about.
All it needs is lame drama queens like yourself projecting ish.
And the collection of liars that populate this board and own this website.
