Props to MO for being honest and answering the question.
Before the interview today, I had been told he wouldn’t discuss Salazar. But when I ask, he answers openly. Did Salazar teach him a lot? “Yes,” he says. “You can’t forget what someone contributed to your career. And he gave me self-belief, to make me think I belonged here.”
I've never understood why there has been this outcry by some to demand that the guys who Salazar coached to turn his back on them. That doesn't make sense to me. What Salazar is accused of doing should greatly disappointment them but it doesn't undo what he did for them.
Please don’t make this guy relevant again. He was a blight on the sport- long camps with Jama Aden, not answering doorbells, lying about even what country he was in, punch ups with pensioners in the park, fights at Haile’s gym, and entitlement to the nth degree. He was a complete buffoon that will not be missed. I won’t even mention his insufferable wife at the airport or leaving Beaverton overnight with all the money from her spa.
Just two very gross and dishonest people.
