Serious question - Does Centro switching to BTC mean that Alberto Salazar, Galen Rupp and the NOP might actually be clean?

^^This

Centro made the switch because he couldn't deal with the fact that the new NOP guys are faster than him. It's an ego thing. Especially after seeing how Kejelcha ran at Dempsey, it's pretty obvious...

Salazar has very close ties with both the Catholic Church and Nike, this means a very high chance that he is a pedophile and sociopath. He would kill someone for his own personal gain. He is indifferent to consequences because he is above them.

Like any impassioned sports fanatic who finds themselves lacking certain physical attributes, he thinks himself unfairly dealt. This is the justification for cheating, because he was treated unfairly he can now conduct himself unfairly.

This is the formula for success in America and the world thanks to capitalism, cheat and be dishonest to gain the upper hand because if you don't someone else will.

Nope, not a serious question.

This.

Getting crushed by Yomif Kejelcha every workout would be a painful reminder of what a FLUKE Centro's 2016 "gold medal" was.

Now here is a real runner:

Discipline Performance Place Date

3000 Metres 7:28.00 Göteborg (SWE) 18 AUG 2018

5000 Metres 12:46.79 Bruxelles (BEL) 31 AUG 2018

Half Marathon 59:17 København (DEN) 16 SEP 2018

Rupp is going to get depressed after the months and years ahead of getting dropped every single workout. (That is probably why Rupp skipped flying with Yomif to Copenhagen, taking yet another DNS while his training partner almost broke 59.)

How about this: maybe Centro told NIKE he wanted to be coached by Andy Powell/Chris Kwiatkowski at UW & Nike told him no, because they won’t be Nike coaches after July 1st when UW goes to adidas, and if you choose them as your coaches, we will reduce or terminate your contract unless you work with a Nike team?

Not saying it’s true but it might be possible.

I have no evidence, but this seems like a pretty legitimate theory.

Unrelated, I also bet Adidas would pay pretty good money for Centro, and he would be great for the brand

(Kanye+Centro...)

Who knows.

I doubt very much that Centro, a 1500 runner, and Kejelcha, a 5k guy, do workouts together. When Rupp and Farah were track runners they rarely, if ever, did workouts with Centro. Kejelcha has loads of talent, but thus far, he has no medals and is not even the best Ethiopian 5k runner.

I don't think Salazar has ever intentionally done any illegal doping with Rupp. Gray area? Sure. Not illegal, however. I'd say that Farah likely went rogue in a pharmaceutical program as he started to work closer with Aden. The connection between Aden and drugs is undeniable. The connection between Aden and Farah is equally as unarguable. Draw your own conclusion.

The protocol was with an amino acid.

That protocol is now legal.

It doesn't work like that.

Maybe he's been doing the wrong event?

BTC he thought would be more fun. Probably as simple as that. Doesn't hurt to distance himself from Salazar's possible doping.

BTC? Ha! What a joke. You want to know whats awesome? How Solinsky, Tegenkamp, Bumbalo, Bairu all LOST to Galen Rupp. Galen kicked their arses and has better credentials than any of those fools. They would have to cheat to keep up with Rupp. Them and that smirking rat of a coach Schumacher. Teaming up to play catty games during races and they still couldnt manage to beat Rupp.

Haha you forgot to mention the moon landing is fake and the Earth is flat.

The answer to that is simple. Salazar brought in Clayton Murphy. Can you imagine being asked to work out with your #1 rival? No thanks.

Tom Brady wasn't happy with Jimmy G and Kraft had Jimmy G was shipped out of town. Unfortunately, Centro didn't have that type of pull.

Kejelcha? Why would centro care about Kejelcha? Centro probably liked the fact that Kejelcha beat Murphy.

Kejelcha is a distance runner. Centro is a miler. A first baseman doesn't get mad when the team bring s in an equally as good outfielder but he is going to care if they bring in another first baseman.
