When asked if he'd testify under oath, Salazar says he'd have to ask his lawyer

Where can we find this "interview"?

You didn't provide a link, but assuming what you say it is accurate, you need to keep in mind that refusing to go under oath doesn't exactly mean he is guilty of doping athletes. He may know he is guilty of breaking certain US or international rules unrelated to doping.

Example:

Mailing prescription medication to get around customs is against the law, but it is not a doping violation.

Armstrong never testified. He refused to cooperate. That didn't save him, and expensive lawyers could do nothing to save him.

Salazar is following in the exact same footsteps as his good friend Armstrong.

Wrong, it most certainly is. Salazar is not a Doctor. Salazar is not a pharmacist. Sending athletes drug the coach and the athlete should not have is a drug offense. This is how the USADA and WADA will see it. Wait and see.

I'm pretty sure that Rupp did have a prescription for the medication sent (nasal spray and z pack) but he didn't have it with him in whatever country he was in. So the fact that Salazar is not a pharmacist or doctor is irrelevant. He was supposedly only mailing medication that Rupp was prescribed. It sounds like a law was broken, but now a doping law.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but if there are any rules saying this is a doping violation please provide a link.

I don't believe Alberto for a second when he says he doesn't understand what it means to testify under oath. That's ridiculous. He's a very intelligent and capable guy. He's very obviously not being forthright, so he is obviously hiding things.

Wrong, fool. Salazar should not have in his possession the prescription drugs for someone else. It is that simple. Sorry your limited brain capacity can't figure that simple fact out.

I respectfully disagree. he's a god-botherer, for one thing. Him and Rupp and Mo, the three stooges of NOP religious faith who together don't have a dozen healthy brain cells to rub together.

Salazar compensates for his inherent lack of smarts by putting a ferocious amount of energy into cheating, lying and being an obsequious turd.

So now we have the fools calling others fool.

What is so hard for you to grasp?

Rupp in foreign country

U.S. Doc calls in prescription to local pharmacy

Salazar picks up med and mails it to Rupp

In the old days, it was called helping somebody out. Now on LRC, its prima facie evidence of doping.

We are not discussing whether or not Salazar has broken any laws, it appears he has. We are discussing possible doping violations, it appears there are none. Rather than resort to insults why don't you provide some links stating that mailing these prescription medications to Rupp is a breaking a doping law.

My wife is in huge trouble...she picks up prescriptions for me all the time. In fact one time when I was on a work trip she Fed-Exd me a bottle I had left at home. I sure hope the Feds don't find out about her...my kids would be sad without their mother.

Goucher’s claims came a day after it was revealed Usada’s team of detectives, who brought down Armstrong in 2012, has put its investigations into Salazar and Farah’s training partner Galen Rupp on a more formal footing by interviewing the Oregon Project athlete Treniere Moser. On Sunday night Salazar promised to co-operate with Usada if it decides to question him, saying: “Absolutely, I’ve got nothing to hide.” However, when asked whether he would do so under oath, he said: “I don’t understand exactly what that means. I’d need to speak to my lawyer.” When told it would mean if he lied then he would be in trouble, Salazar repeated: “I would have to speak to my lawyer about that."

He "confessed" all on Oprah, a very stupid mistake.

Law? Well, chap you are clueless about the difference between the law and WADA violations. Doping is a meaningless term. Now go read up on: spirit of sport, and detrimental to an athlete's health. After you become better educated, and learn to properly think, you can try again.

Armstrong confessed to Oprah for $$$. Armstrong refused to cooperate with USADA investigators. He never allowed them to interview him.

Complete bullshit. Mailing prescription drugs isn't doping.

Alberto did violate customs laws and could be charged there by the feds which is why he may have expressed hesitation with going under oath, but he however never never cheated.

This thread is a joke!! USADA has the goucher's statements, as well as how many other NOP associates as well how ever many others. the gouchers have had their ear since Feb. of 2013. Galen has been THE most tested athlete in the U.S. since then. NOP has been under USADA's scrutiny since then.

Why has there been no charges/bans/statements from USADA?

Start the clock on USADA!

You people clucking with one another are gossipers at its ugliest.

Let the process play out.

If Kara or Adam or Magness or Stiner or anyone else have anything to say to USADA let them come forth. Let our governing body, who took down Lance Armstrong, among others have a say in this.

I will bet they keep silent. I will bet that by July 30th they will have said nothing.

I will bet by Dec 31st of this year they will have said NOTHING! Because they will have nothing to charge NOP, Alberto or Galen with.

But lets start the clock, Rojo, please start the clock.
