Running Legend Craig Virgin Calls For More Transparency Revealing The Medications And Supplements Athletes Are On: "In Sight It Must Be Right"

Two-time World Cross-Country champion Craig Virgin generated some heated debate when he took to his Facebook page after Galen Rupp's American two-mile record run and said among other things, "What is Galen taking or doing ... that is giving him such amazing recuperative/restorative powers?" Virgin called for more transparency in the legal supplements/medications athletes may be taking. LRC spoke with Virgin on his comments and with Galen Rupp's agent Ricky Simms about Virgin's comments and the calls for more transparency. Plus, Simms tells LRC Mo Farah has never been on thyroid medication.
