Well? Do you guys think that Rupp reads letsrun? Is that why my thread about his big ears and doping got deleted?

His Svengali forbids it. No anti-social media allowed. No social media allowed. Minimal contact with human beings is imposed.

What's a Svengali? Is it AlSal?
A person who manipulates or controls another, especially by force of personality for malicious purposes.
yeah, I read it before I take my vitamin shots.

Ooh are you really Rupp? That would be so cool if he replied to my thread!
Rupp is DiscoGary
On a serious note, while I don't know if Rupp is on here, he is certainly on a Facebook track coaching closed group I'm on—as is Magness. Neither post anything, but if you're typing something and mention them Facebook tried to tag their profiles in the post since they're also on the group, and yes it does appear to be bona fide profiles for both. So Rupp is on social media.
Man, I hope not. When his career is over, his name will carry the same weight as Frank Shorter, Bill Rodgers, Meb, And Pre. I have never seen a sports forum that "eats it's own young" like LR. He is one of the greatest US distance runners in history, and most of the wags on these boards just want to tear him down. Shameful.

Only Rupp runs for AlSal. Shameful.

LRC is the only sports forum that knows who this Rupp dude is.

Serious question. He comes across in interviews as someone who only reads comic books.

Give it to me, Al!
Worked at Nike for a long time. While I was there letsrun fell out of favor as a go to source for consumer insights. There's a lot of negativity here that, until it's directed at you, seems like people speaking the truth, but can be hard to sift through.
Maybe their consumer market shifted away from the letsrun crowd, maybe it's a miss for them to ignore. But were pulling away and stuff on letsrun wasn't often openly talked about. For all I know that may have changed or was just the people I interacted with but that was my experience.
As such, I actually sort of doubt he spends a lot of time on here. Some of the stuff would be pretty hurtful and likely not terribly productive.

I was not born in Africa, but I beat Kenenisa Bekele in an Olympic 10k...and Letsrun still hates me.
