If this is indeed confirmed, I wonder what Centrowitz is going to say. He obviously can't use the "I unknowlingly took a banned substance in a supplement" excuse being a part of NOP and all.
I really hope one of these guys who test positive finally just says something like "I did it because everyone else is and I couldn't compete with them otherwise"
DENIAL IS A RIVER IN EGYPT
"In other developments concerning the Oregon Project:
-- Matthew Centrowitz's indoor season is over because of a lingering viral illness, Salazar said. He won't run in the Millrose Games, and instead concentrate on getting healthy."
In case anyone forgot.

why the caps then the no caps?
no one has ever tweeted that they have doped and are guilty.
Marion Jones denied everything until she appeared in front of a judge.

True but few folks now a days will tweet there are no issues, that they haven't tested positive when they just tested positive and the announcement is incoming.
This thread is nuts. It's pulled, then reinstated, then pulled. No statement from wejo yet, but the fact that it is still here means there may be some smoke.
I still don't get why Ritz withdrawing from Boston in any way would indicate an issue.
You still get out of competition testing, Boston is far enough in the future that anything would be out of your system by then.
I would hope that testing agencies would flag a withdrawal close to events as an automatic out of competition testing.
News flash, racing a marathon is not something you do if you have a nagging injury keeping you from training. Hell even starting a marathon with some kind of injury (even mild and new) is questionable.

Yes because they are such quality journalists and not ruled by page hits and ad revenue.
If this turns out to be a troll, it absolutely has to go down in history as THE best of all time.
Not only does the thread have tons of responses here (enough to overload LRC server as well), it has "journalists" and twitter people all speculating about the impending doom of NOP.
It's either someone very informed (and thus timed perfectly to coincide with news about Cain/Ritz) OR one of the luckiest timings in history creating a perfect storm.

I agree.

+1
It also has the brojos scrambling looking for evidence (obvious given how many times this has been deleted and put back up)
You guys have a low bar for "best troll ever" for LRC if you think this takes the cake.

3/3 Editor's note: Matt Centrowitz has issued two tweets, presumably in response to what some are alleging in this thread:
Happy to say that I’m back running again after missing the indoor season due to illness..... (more)— Matthew Centrowitz (@MattCentrowitz) March 3, 2014
...I would like to categorically dispel any ugly rumors as to why I missed a few races. I will be racing in the outdoor season as normal.— Matthew Centrowitz (@MattCentrowitz) March 3, 2014
These are non-denials, and just add fuel to the fire. Why not say "I have not received a positive result on an a-sample test"? It would be very easy to do, but he has not done it.
Deleting it and reinstating it keeps it hot, but keeps it off of the front page.
I have told someone at NOP who is close to Centro about this thread. I'm hoping someone gets their ass sued off for this.
We should all be afraid. Any thread can be made about anyone at letsrun.

I'm curious what standards you have for trolling then.
This one has the message board giving overlord errors, 300+ responses in 12 hours, a dozen spin off threads, and has journalists, elite athletes, and people on running related pages at faceback all talking and speculating.
