Mary Cain makes more allegations: Claims her HS coach took a perverse interest in the sex lives of his female runners

A lot of interesting thoughts here.

What often gets forgotten is that Salazar removed Cain from team due poor performance. Cain then begged Salazar to take her back and was refused. Only after this did any of the complaints and issues arise.

Cain's complaints would have had more validity if she had left the team on her own at the peak of her powers.

Sort of:

"Yes, I'm having a lot of success now with Alberto, but there are things happening to me in the program I am unhappy with. Choosing to leave now gives me a chance to help women in sports and to simply do the right thing."

...of course it did not happen like that.

Similarly, despite all the stress, Cain was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA in college, and later be admitted to Stanford Med School. So from a parents perspective, all the suffering under Salazar did not have any impact on her academics, or future career options.

I started the thread yesterday about how I read in the WSJ review of Cain's memoir that Cain claims her HS coach took a perverse interest in her sex life. Today I've read another review in RW and find out she's accused Salazar of looking at her exposed breasts?

RW wrote:

Sometimes, as Cain slept in the guest room of Salazar’s home, she would awaken in the night to find him watching her sleep, she says, even once when her breasts were exposed. She pretended she was sleeping.

Yet another day. Yet another sexual allegation.

I guess I'm going to have to buy this book. I really didn't want to. But I'm supposed to believe she has like the 3 worse HS coaches ever and then Salazar as well?

There clearly isn't a zero percent chance that she was the problem and the common denominator here, but at least the RW reviewer had some skepticism to begin with.

Early in the book you might find yourself questioning Cain’s repeated assertions that the world had positioned itself against her in almost every way. Then you get deep enough into the book, and you realize that, of course, it had.

But why would her breasts be exposed? Someone who has read the book, can you write exactly what she has alleged by Salazar and HS coach in terms of sex?
