Salazar was a BALCO customer. One of the original customers.
Queue the NOP trolls:
Nothing to see here.
Perfectly normal.
Fake news.
really?
we need to bring in the freakin FBI to investigate a known facade of a sport because one set of cheaters happened to more intelligently shoot up some drugs then other sets of cheaters? Shouldn't the bureau be looking into more important things like, I dunno, how the CIA is f*cking turning our T.V.s into spying devices???
Did you actually read the article? Even if believable, it says NOTHING about evidence or guilt, ONLY that the FBI (famous for Comey's actions) will be "enlisted in assistance" in it now. Yippee! Another wild goose chase, just because they have nothing better to do?Furthermore, it is ONLY a "exclusive" from a "legacy media" company (Telegraph UK), a genre that is now known for self-citations gone bad.
The FBI, meanwhile, told Telegraph Sport: “We cannot confirm our involvement or the existence of an investigation.â€
The rest of the article does nothing but rehash the past, which we already know to be lacking enough evidence for anything more than LRC rumours.
If the Russian hackers came up short, the FBI has no chance of coming up with anything.

Particularly when "Russian hackers" turns out to be CIA masquerading as such.
This is getting real. Get a good lawyer AlSal.

And you don't think the FBI has the resources and/or ability to look in to more than one thing and/or various things of different levels of importance???
I'm having a hard time getting too worked up about this. I don't think Salazar is a saint, but "high doses of Vit D" and a "banned method of infusing a legal substance called L-Carnitine" are small potatoes. Perhaps it's just smoke, but still - it's Vitamin D.
The bit about retesting Mo for EPO is interesting though. And the alleged FBI involvement is big if true, but seems more likely to be about testing testosterone on his sons. I do hope that if they are cheating, they are caught, and if they aren't, then something can be done to clear the air.
On a side note...To pick on the NFL, it seems obvious that they have rampant doping. Why doesn't the FBI get involved there?
- Why don't NFL fans care about doping?
- Why do runners care so much about it?
The article claims that EPO is a banned substance. Umm...your body makes EPO, and you die without it. It is exogenous EPO that is banned, not EPO in general.
Alberto has not been cooperative.
Nike has not been cooperative.
Why?
If you are accused you would think that it would be important to be proven innocent. Being proven not guilty is most certainly not the same thing.

You nitpick too much. It is obvious what they meant--added EPO. Even you figured it out without your daddy explaining it to you.

No reason to be co-operative with witch-hunters who will twist everything you say to declare you guilty.
Farah needs to retire before his whole career gets revoked like Lance.
This is all a bunch of BS. When you're losing on everything else, go after the athletes. I'll give a damn about runners doping when the FBI and others decide to start arresting all those NFL players for their supported use of PEDS to be giant men.

Because they are guilty.
