Jordan Hasay is one of those types who only has positive things to say about everyone. And yet she is the one who is shunned

I'd be willing to bet my bottom dollar that Jordan is tested more than Shalane, and that therefore, there is a greater probability that Shalane is "dirty" compared to Jordan. However, I know I'm among the minority on LRC - esp given the constant anti-NOP bias shoveled out by the Brojos.

Go Jordan!

Am I allowed to think AlSal is dirty, but still like Jordan? Cause that's where I'm at.

Yes, although it's much more than one person and their is plenty of evidence. If she wants to be respected by any people that are knowledgeable in the sport she has to drop her coach. Even Mo could see that.

This is so wrong, on so many levels, it almost makes me ill. I'm VERY knowledgeable in the sport, and indeed, she would lose my respect if she dropped NOP solely because of what people like you suspect about Salazar and NOP. Mo did not leave for any reasons related to "plenty of evidence" about NOP, and you have absolutely no proof that he did - so STFU.

Have a great run tomorrow Jordan!

I love her and she is clean if you think she isn't well your wrong because I know her better than you do so you should back off and not talk about stuff you know nothing about okay!

She has really impressed me have been an average elite in track but reach the too on marathon.

You can't compare Salazar to someone like Aden. She's not run anything beyond her natural ability as her 1500,m is good compared to other marathon runners at her level.

As long as she continues her winning ways, stick with Big Al. Haters gonna hate. Use it.

Your opinion may be different than mine on any of these situations but I am only human to have an opinion.

opinions are not right or true. facts are right and true. everyone does not have an opinion, only those who are lazy and can't due the work to state a fact yet still want to open their mouths use the excuse of "i have an opinion."

It’s not that hard to understand, as others have pointed out. People are hesitant to congratulate Salazar athletes. She chose that company.

10/10

If an anonymous guy on a running site casts aspersions...

I have an opinion.

You’re welcome to support her. Just understand that many of us are skeptical because of her associations.

It's funny that you think you are VERY knowledgeable in the sport and still believe their isn't proof of Salazar unethical practices. You either are receiving some financial benefits from Nike or aren't VERY knowledgeable.

Anyone that chooses to stay with Alberto should justifiably be shunned. It is her choice to work with him. The reaction of everyone in the know should not be surprising.

It’s not necessarily totally their free choice. I’ve heard that Nike at times will tell athletes that they have an offer that is only valid if they go with the nop.

So I guess it’s still their choice but a pressurized one.

My nomination for POY . It’s early. Let’s see if it holds up for 12 months.

How come Matt Centrowitz doesn't seem to get the same treatment?

You make a fair point. I’d say it’s because he was a worlds medallist before he even joined the group.

Any job choice offer has it s own pressure.

You get an offer and they think you will fit better in this certain department or division, maybe not ideal but you take it because this is the company you want to work for.

Specific to Nike, athletes have switched out clubs internally.

Maybe I have missed something since I havent been on letsrun in like a year but from what I remember Centro get's nothing but hate on this message board. Maybe things have changed.

I think the assumption about people who dope is that there is some sinister intention and the people are just flat out villains. I'm sure his social media presence has helped combat such sentiments.

POY??? Wow, that's weak dude and so lame that I couldn't see it as being insightful to any logically thinking person on planet earth. I wouldn't say it held up for 12 seconds after it was posted.

Hate it when that happens. Getting “stunned” is no fun.
