Very suspicious if you ask me. Correct me if I'm wrong, have they made a statement yet, or are they waiting to coordinate with Salazar and Capriotti?

Are you unaware that drugs in sport are handled by USADA, which is independent from USATF?
In addition, there's always the "We cannot comment on any possible ongoing investigation" line.

This just posted on buzzfeed: USADA has no authority to open cases or ban an athlete. USADA acts at the direction of anti-doping authorities.
That's why USADA's lifetime ban of Armstrong was sent to cycling federation where many days passed before they approved it. Cycling could have declined to ban Armstrong.
This is how WADA is setup.

What anti-doping authorities? USADA isn't one itself?
Maybe because this isn't making a ripple anywhere in the US media except this insular website.

US tabloids are filled with the FIFA scandal while British tabloids lead the witchhunt against NOP.
Where am I?

I don't think USATF predicates its actions on how much press coverage track receives.
The actions of USATF and track athletes, however, might help determine how much press coverage the sport gets.
Hghtowers husband has responded what more do you want.
Maybe they aren't on Facebook so havent heard of the scandal.
Like Mary Cain ...

Ian Stewart said: ‘All I know is that Alberto Salazar never coached Mary Decker-Slaney, I know that for a fact, he never did.’
It's beautiful. You cannot defend Salazar without calling the man a liar. Prince Albert was the one who propagated the "rumor" that he coached Mary Decker-Slaney.
This is an unprecedented gray area. The TUEs are there so they can do an incredible amount of quality volume and recover all while maintaining legal ranges. Unless the customized allergy vials are synthetic blood booster, there would be an outright banned case.

They would be out of line to make any comments at this point...

In a country where the average person cares about track & field for one day every four years. This isn't that day.

Perhaps because a proper response would include bashing Gouchers stupidity and lack of understanding of the sport, magnesses lack of logic, and rohats idiotic opinion that if someone who trains with him is better its drugs.
USATF is bought and paid for by Nike.

No. I realize the sports federations talk like WADA and the National Anti-Doping Agencies (NADOs) are much more powerful than they really are, but they are not.
They act at the direction of others, mostly sports federations. They process tests, as ordered by others, process sanctions as ordered by others, use sports federation rules to process sanctions ordered by others.
Go ahead and read the standards. The one you probably want to read is the "World Anti-Doping Code" and a little heavier reading, "
Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) Operating Guidelines"

WADA publishes everything. If only sports federations would be so transparent! Unfortunately, that means doping programs like Al Sal's have all the information they need.
I realize that people here care most about distance running but relative toTyson Gay or other busted sprinters this is small scale.
