Wow. These guys look super screwd. Can they get past it? Hurt or injured? I think its possible that USADA will end up doing nothing? Weve thought they were done before, maybe this is another false alarm. Discus.

Everyone is doing what AlSal is doing, his guys just happen to be winnning while they do it. USADA should let them walk. It's good for the sport.
Put some respek on their name. I ain't gonna say it no mo'.
NOP is BACK, BABY!!!
NOP and Salazar are DONE. Rupp and Farah are old and DONE.
Centro will be DONE during the prime years of his career.
The rest of the NOPers will depend on whether they are helping the investigation and what they knew about Salazar's secret drug cocktails.
Will they go home DEVASTATED?
Absolutely, and as a fan of American track and field, I couldn't be more happy to see our only successful distance running group crumble!
As much as I would like to see NOP go down, I am not confident about it at this time. Nike will support them until the absolute very end and that might be hard to define in the legal environment of WADA.
Maybe Al Sal goes home devastated, but I could see that happening quietly.
No chance Al Sal has actually broken any rules. He's too sneaky. I bet this is just USADA looking for some press, appear all tough, and then things will just go on. The exact same thing has happened before
You read bro? Read the report, AlSal broke a bunch of rules, he just didn't get caught breaking any BIGLY rules. Unless someone inside roles over on him and produces a bunch of video of AlSal sticking a steroid needle into Rupp or Mo or Ritz, I doubt anything happens to NOP.

Nah man, that's just how WADA is making it sound. That stuff is all technically above board because of loopholes.
So far not one suspension. They've got nothing substantial in my opinion.
I think NOP will weather this storm because there are no verifiable facts that I can see.
It's a lot of he said / she said. They use the term 'may' a lot as in, NOP 'may' have broken the rules.
Given that most people who care (hint: most people don't) already have an opinion, I doubt that this report changes much.
It may reach a boiling point where Nike decides to ask AlSal to retire, but I don't see that coming soon.
If NOP can't bring in athletes because of the athlete's concern re: controversy, that could put an end to NOP. Watch to see if Ches signs up with NOP. If not, it could signal a problem.

Oh, that YOU can see. Take your NOP-blinders off.
I wouldn't say the NOP is done.
After all they're the ONLY hope of American distance running. No other group in the country can medal at the Olympic/World stage w/o going out right doping as do the E Africans. I'm actually surprised that they actually could get testosterone to go up simply by taking Vit-D!! I thought high dosage of Vit-D is poisonous to your body. Who knew!
