What happen to the Rupp suspicious doping thread that someone just started? One minute it's there with about 15 or so posts, and then the next minute it's gone. I'm assuming the mods deleted it for certain reasons that they don't disclose (how about some guidelines/forum rules mods on what type of doping talk is acceptable? 🤔).
Assuming it was deleted for doping talk involving Rupp (?), it's hard to understand when a 35 page thread continues to exist on the Vegas shooting which is full of nothing but profanity, threats, bullying & hostile posters.
From the NY Times:
"But Mr. Rupp said publicly in 2006 that Dr. BROWN had diagnosed the condition, according to The Journal.
Mr. Rupp has severe allergies, breathing issues and hypothyroidism, Mr. Salazar wrote last year, and those conditions had been treated by two endocrinologists.
Mr. Rupp has emphatically denied taking prohibited substances.
“Galen takes asthma medication so he can breathe normally – not so he can run better,†wrote Mr. Salazar, who coaches the Nike Oregon Project, which includes Mo Farah of Britain, who won gold in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters at the London Games.
Mr. Salazar added: “Galen takes his thyroid medication so that his body can function normally – not for any competitive advantage.â€
Mr. Salazar also wrote that Dr. Brown had helped him conduct an EXPERIMENT amid heightened concern in the track world that athletes could be sabotaged by someone rubbing a tainted substance on them.
They rubbed Androgel, a synthetic form of testosterone on the test subjects — Mr. Salazar’s sons — to determine whether a small amount might set off a positive drug test. They ultimately determined that it was extremely unlikely that such a sabotage could happen.
In its court filing, Usada said it wanted to get from Dr. Brown information about the substances he used in treating athletes, the methods and personnel involved, why the treatments were initiated, and communications involving Dr. Brown that would assist the antidoping agency in “its ongoing efforts to investigate whether Dr. Brown and/or others may have violated sport anti-doping rules.â€
Did the test subjects have a prescription for the schedule III controlled substance Androgel from Dr. Jeffrey Brown when they did the "Possible Sabotage of Galen Rupp with Androgel EXPERIMENT"???
Alberto Salazar has a prescription from a doctor to use Androgel.
The prescription for Androgel is ONLY for Alberto Salazar to use Androgel.
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/sports/usada-track-and-field-doping-jeffrey-brown-investigation.html"The United States Anti-Doping Agency has sent an official notice of rules violations to an endocrinologist who has treated several Olympians in the Nike Oregon Project stable of elite runners, according to multiple people familiar with the case.
The notice is a formal signal that officials are pursuing sanctions in the case. The antidoping agency has said a broad investigation into the Nike Oregon Project is continuing; officials are believed to be building cases against athletes and Alberto Salazar, the leader of the prominent team, who has trained some of the most decorated track athletes in the world.
Dr. Jeffrey Stuart Brown, an endocrinologist based in Texas, is accused of violating antidoping rules and colluding with Salazar to cover it up. Salazar and the doctor have vehemently denied accusations of doping violations. They could not be reached for comment regarding the notice of allegations.
The antidoping agency also declined to comment, citing its policy not to comment on investigations in progress."
