WTF IS RUPP ON?

I dont understand how this thread hasnt been deleted yet. I posted a question of Salazars training methods, nothing close to this accusatory and it was deleted twice

Makes you wonder

because the powers that be are fans of tacky tabloid journalism. Every week this place becomes more like TMZ.

Rupp is clean. He's white and speaks english ->clean.

IMO Rupp, Lagat & Lomong are all juiced. And the detractors should relax- I didn't publish this, but gave an imo. Most medal threats on the track are juiced. That's how I see it. And Barry Bonds never tested positive.

They're not. None of those people you named are. Lagat doesn't even take supplements.

I don't know but whatever AlSal is giving these guys the past two years it is working and they are all showing massive improvements.

How did Jackie Areson do at the Trials? Did Kara Goucher make massive improvements from 2009 to 2011? Did Ritzenhein?

Jackie Areson and Uhl should have been nicer to Denna. Karma came back to bite. Uhl made the team but she doesn't look as good as she did while studying full time in vet school and she was beat by a collegian.

LOL, yes, equating the Catholic faith (well 99% of faiths actually) with morals- hilarious.

TMZ is thousands of times more reputable than LetsRun.

THYROID PILLS

Highly doubt Rupp is on anything. Salazar and Rupp are both pretty devout Catholics, and I just don't think it's in them to resort to those kinds of means to win.

Hahaha. Lots of Catholic priests molest little boys you know.

All that thyroid stuff is bullshit and Salazar knows it. I'm sure they just have their nice buddy doctor who will write them a prescription for anything to make it seem legal. With the rapid way medical science is evolving the current doping regulations can't keep up with what is illegal. Thus it is very likely salazar has figured out some loopholes so rupper is technically not doping, just because it isnt illegal yet. Its like all those bath salts and synthetic drugs that were chemically only slightly different from currently illegal drugs, but because they were so new they hadn't been banned yet. This is what salazar and rupper do with their thyroid bullshit

Fluoride in the American drinking water gives many people thryoid problems (amongst other problems), especially athletes.

I have more respect for people who turn down guaranteed Olympic spots (like the 800 runner born in Ethiopia and fled to the US) and Legat than people who turn their back on the country they were born and raised in but try to become a citizen somewhere else just to get in the Olympics.

Any devout Catholic will have a significant amount of guilt floating around if they are doing anything that might seem like cheating. I know this is completely anecdotal, but I wouldn't be surprised if being Catholic is a motivating factor to not cheat.

You mean like those Moroccans that would never cheat because they are devout Muslims?

Some of the questionable things we've heard about from the Oregon Project, like asthma medications, require Therapeutic Use Exemptions from the IAAF, meaning they needed a Nike MD to fake test results and such. This is already a violation of doping control. Given what they have already admitted to, you would have to be really stupid to think this is all they have done.

Also add in that Salazar ran for the Athletics West Nike drug program and is listed as a customer of Victor Conte's BALCO.

Awful lot of smoke for there not to be a roaring fire behind the scenes.

Any winner of any event at the trials is juiced. We have to accept the fact that our sport is totally dirty and corrupt, and dominated by cheats and liars. Track and field as I once knew it, no longer exists. Dignity and honor have lost all meaning. Honestly, it makes you weep.

another reason why elite endurance sports have no appeal. Boring to watch to people at home. Only interesting to those who participate.

IMO Geb did it all career. Lagat's doing it. Now I think Rupp's juiced. BTW, Bonds never tested positive. And I'm not publishing, so well in my rights to give an imo that many actually share.

It's too bad you have this opinion; you often post some good analysis.

This is just crazy.

I can tell you for a fact that Rupp is not juiced.

Look at it another way; Salazar is so close to the head of Nike, that if he did juice his athletes, and they got caught, there would be a congressional inquiry and the shame and stigma and penalties brought down on Nike would be far too big of a risk.

If you read up on the history of The Oregon Project, you will see in Published form that TOP runs anything new they do by WADA/USADA.

It's on record. I'd paste the link but all you have to do us google The Oregon Project and read up, get an education.
