A few of my takes:
1. To Julian's credit he seems to have the athlete's long term health as a priority. A few months ago there was the story in the Sunday Times where he told the team to stop using the L-Carnitine. Now this revelation that he asked the team to stop taking calcitonin. How and why he's still at the NOP is lost on me. If they're clean, the dude has got backbone. If the team is dirty, the dude likely knows all of it. He joined the NOP in September of 2012, and it sounds like him and Welling were a bit "deer in the headlights" when they went to Dr Brown in Sept 2012.
2. This looks bad for the NOP but it's a case I wouldn't dare bring to trial. USADA is speculating and hypothesizing on the testerone and whether or not the NOP took more of the Lcarntine. The LCarnitine seems to be a reach anyway. It's a legal supplement. I've contended before on these boards that it seems USADA is wasting its time and money on trying to prove whether the LCarnitine was over 50ml or not. Lots of athletes using EPO and steroids out there, and they're bogged down with an amino acid. Now the testerone is whole different matter, but it's still Salazar's documented word Vs USADA. Without real proof, well....
3. The NOP is still competing and this report is what, now two years old? I'm afraid to say that if USADA had a next move, they would have made it. Unfortunately, now Nike has USADA's playbook and everything USADA said can now be used against them.
