New TAS vide EXPOSES doping in American distance running

I hear you, like for steroid creams etc...But Doctors are, as it turns out, required by law to not to prescribe unnecessary medication. If they want to work the TUE angle, start arresting doctors who prescribe freakin thyroid or T hormone for someone with out a problem!

Assuming the testing is taking place in the PNW as she lives/was living in Seattle. Makes you assume a Nike group based around that are if its the same tester. Immediately Rupp or someone like Farah comes to mind who have already had random stuff come out. Also recall when the Houlihan stuff dropped there was a sizeable list of supplements she was taking, enough to gather my interest. Having 40+ TUEs/supplements just reeks of something NOP would have been doing.

Spencer was an indoor All-American on a DMR team. But I don't believe he made outdoor NCAA championships.

All TUEs should be publicly listed.

All this talk about doping. The truth is I have no idea who is doping and who is not. I'm not going to accuse anyone without proof even if I have my suspicions. If you are not naming names with proof, it's just gossip, no need to tear down anyone's character or organization unless there is proof.

This guy has a YouTube channel that generates a lot of his annual income. Of course he would post a video like this. Absolutely nothing he said isn’t any different than what is posted on these boards regularly. He might have even gotten a lot of that info from LetsRun.

Also TAS: one video - LR is toxic

Next video - basically a vlog of a LR thread

Definitely not the guy who tested positive for EPO, or the guy who ran for Alberto, or the woman who ran for John Cook ...

..yeah exactly, you can make a case for many of them, I didn't say everyone else was clean, did i?

now pick a name instead of being snarky

Brown isn’t good enough talent wise to consider doping. He ran 3:39.9 with a pack blocking wind. His next best effort was either 3:41 or 3:42. When people get to 3:35 naturally, or close to that, they consider doping to run in the 2s.

It's obviously Rupp lol. USADA is intimately aware of what he does since they've been tested him for years.

Clickbait title, knows nothing and says nothing.

This guy is no longer a serious runner. 10(?) months since he ran a couple outdoor races. Outdoor season is RIGHT NOW. No CC, no indoor, no full-time job and no family to impede training. Is he ready to go? Is he, by an single metric, better prepared to race than he was last year?

Regardless of whether click bait or not, all the US athletes are on supplements, and a handful have hammered their bodies to be low of the tests so they qualify for TUE’s which they continue to use once back to normal to improve their recovery and performance.

it’s an open secret around the athletes and coaches. This also filters down into the university sports too.

don’t be surprised, but most if not all “western” countries have the same setup, whereas others just fake the testing or look the other way

Hah! Those questions are less important than what is the next oddball thing Kramer (i.e., Ari) is going to say or do the next time he shows up in a TAS video:

Post the proof you have of this. And I don't mean "everybody knows" and that type of Trumpian proof.

Post the failed test results. Post the video confessions. Give proof or shut up.

He said a lot of words.

A few thoughts. Charlie Francis said in his book Speed Trap that Americans are the best dopers because they don't get caught as often. The Balco drug scandal showed that steroids can be made in your garage without an extensive chemistry background. These days in the bodybuilding community at least 80% of the steroids are made in underground labs.

False

no many people are willing to risk death

Ask the big time training groups, honestly, which supplements/TUE's their athletes are taking.
They are all suspect and some of the athletes are totally unaware. Let's see the list and then let the scientists and physicians decide. I'm thinking from my own experience that it's 70-80% of the pros.
