What ever came of the USADA and WADA investigations into Salazar/NOP???

It took some eight years after Armstrong to take him down. Patience. It will come. The hammer drop will be a massive one.

It must feel strange to be an NOP athlete and have a foreboding sense that sooner or later the gig is going to be up.

This interim period - during which NOP is actively investigated and still competes - is fascinating. It is like looking at a cherished friend and knowing he is already gone.

Nike paid Seb Coe to cover up up.

USADA had trouble moving forward when they were barred from making Dr. Brown sit for a deposition. I don't know what's gone on since.

The investigation was turned over to Kaiha Bertollini.

This is a very shady case.

Nothing, naturally.

USADA/WADA/IAAF/ESATF are the same people. I.E. there's no independent DRUF Tests in T&F.

There haven't been many news updates about this and only a few since the BBC documentary. It seems many individuals have come forward as 'whistleblowers' of sorts but NOP appears to be operating fully and business as usual. Thoughts?

Nothing came of the investigations. In fact, the investigations were already effectively finished before the documentary even came out, but the complainants refused to take 'no' for an answer and were determined to make NOP look bad...so...out came the "documentary".....

Interesting. I never saw any articles to this effect. The documentary did seem a bit...amateurish in several ways and based itself largely on hearsay (moreover, there really was no good purpose for the bloke to put himself on EPO...people are aware of its effects and the ability to evade testing).

0/10.

As noted earlier, it took eight years after Armstrong retired to convict him.

The process is not instant gratification like when you masturbate.

What happened was the utter devastation of fools like the Blojos and the Gouchers.

The good news is that the Blojos are used to devastation, right Wejo? Their dreams never came true.

Gotta hand it to ya, that is a satisfying analogy.

He's right though.

It was a witch hunt investigation that returned nothing and has been effectively closed.
