I don't think AlSal and Co. have done anything other than try to refute the claims against them.
Then you weren't reading the long threads about Salazar and NOP at all. Every other post was a personal attack.
Salazar's rambling explanation didn't fit with other facts at all. The response was always another personal attack.

In this case, people are saying NOP was cheating, the NOP is saying that they do things that some would consider cheating but aren't against the rules, and it will likely turn out that the latter is true.
In Armstrong's case, the federations (USA Cycling and the UCI) were assisting Armstrong. We already have ample evidence the IAAF and USATF are as corrupt, if not more, than the cycling federation.
You would have us believe then, that USATF is protecting the integrity of the sport (sponsored by Nike) and operated in a transparent manner such that PED use is controlled and rules applied fairly. That's a fairy tale.
