An endless exercise in only hearing what you want to hear when it comes to Salazar.
Here are some things that stood out to me in in interview. Some things were common knowledge, and some I did not know.
Darren Treasure: the fake sports psych did not even have a psychology degree. Alberto mandated that all athletes see him for therapy. Darren then became Performance Director of NOP and determined who stayed on the team, while simultaneously hearing everyone's deepest fears and secrets, and also blabbering all of this to Alberto. This was such a horrific betrayal of confidence for athletes. They were all duped into thinking he was a psychologist. Mary Cain was only a teenager when she started seeing him. He told Alberto a lot of what they spoke about. Can you imagine being a teenager who is self-harming, and told by someone you believe is a PSYCHOLOGIST it piss off? Please consider what that might do to a person.
Hypothyroidism: You have to give Kara credit for being fully truthful and at least respect that she doesn't hide things that even make her look bad in an effort to blow the whistle. The Goucher's introduced Salazar to Dr. Brown. But the Goucher's also were not aware he was a crooked Doctor. Soon everyone was going, and everyone was getting a hypothyroid diagnosis including Galen. One thing I did not know but she revealed in the podcast was that Kara was diagnosed by Brown with hypothyroidism, and spent over a decade believing she had it. In 2017, another dr told her she never did. But, because she was on such heavy medication for years, she couldn't stop taking the medication, and must continue medication that she never needed for her thyroid in the first place.
Can we all pause and appreciate how messed up this is??? Do NOT mess with your thyroid. I have friends who actually have hypothyroidism and it affects all their function. it is rough. Salazar and Brown had to have known how deliberately messed up what they were doing actually was. If someone did this to me, I would explode with rage. Galen was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when he was a teenager. A teenager. Thank goodness Mary seemed to avoid this part.
