So, once again, at the happy press conference, letsrun dumped this steaming pile of shyte at NOP/Rupp?
Nice timing, Bro. Nice timing.
Far from it.
During my interviews with Flanagan, another journalist said, "Are you going to ask him if he feels the USADA investigation is a thing of the past?" I said, "No I"m not. I don't feel like it's necessary. It's a great debut for Rupp. That can wait for another day."
Once I heard Goucher's comments (I didn't ask a single doping question in my first interview. I had stopped interviewing Goucher and was interviewing another athlete when I heard the topic come up and decided I'd better start recording), I decided I 100% was going to ask Rupp about it at the main press conference. If I didn't, then I wasn't doing my job and should just save thousands of bucks and watch it on television.
I just very matter of factly read off what she said and asked Rupp for his response, which he gave.
I don't know why people view any of this as awful for the sport. Manning just won the Super Bowl with HGH allegations. It's called life. Things are complicated.
Don't shoot the messenger. I didn't create this controversy. Salazar, Rupp, Magness, Goucher, etc did.
