This sounds legit except the Cupid bone part at then end. What is that all about?[/quote]
Maybe Salazar thought that Jerry was telling Hill to step on Rupp's foot to re-hurt it, or whatever Rupp's cuboid injury was.

the libel comment was directed to Track Fanatic who admitted he made up the story - that is the reason for the comment. Has nothing to do with Salazar or the content of the post. It is that the entire post is false.

"If my athletes were on PEDs" says absolutely nothing about Salazar. Salazar's name is not included in the supposed statement.
A Duck, stay out of the libel claims business. You do not understand a thing about libel laws.

Oh come on, enough sanctimony. This shit is awesome, sit back and enjoy it with the rest of us.
I so want to punch that punkassjerk salazar in the face

More importantly though, is that Rupp, though clearly fast, does not seem to be able to show his speed in races. He can run fast times. However, he cannot put together that fast last lap off of more uptempo races. He can and has done it consistently in the 10000.
If he's not chasing a tiny east African named Mo, he's lost.

Is that for real? I'd warn you that if not, it's a very libelous claim against Jerry.
Slander, actually. If it wasn't true. (Purely hypothetically.)
Alberto being mad about this is ridiculous. It actually set up the race beautifully for Rupp vs Lagat, giving Rupp the fast pace he needs against Lagat but doesn't have the heart to set.
The fact he still lost just shows how good Lagat is right now.
Apparently she got DQd. Thanks for following up Blos.
Bumbi has been DQ'ed as per the results posted.

Hilarious and true!!
Schumacher is the most secretive coaches I have ever seen, no questions it?...at least AL gives interviews, reveils training, behind the scenes vidoes, grants interviews...not Schumacher? maybe that group should be looked into more? Schumacher behavior is like the CIA

I really respect that Alberto invites so many interviews, video of workouts, and all of that.
But pursuing malicious DQs of action that are immaterial to finishing order is frivolous, spiteful and bad for the sport.
Schumacher's crew used some questionable tactics - although I'll admit it was exciting to see someone show a different card in the tired old story of Lagat kicking everyone's ass.
Besides using Bumbi as an obvious pacer, the Schumacher trio did their best to prevent Rupp from getting the lead. This included a generous shoulder bump to cut off Rupp. The lost boy and Hill did this. Any contact when running at that pace doesn't end well for either runner in terms of energy conservation.
Their tactic was to run the legs off Rupp and Lagat. Didn't work. Instead the bumping and shielding tactic just tired out Rupp and Hill. It left Lagat unscathed, watching the action in the perfect spot behind them. Lagat was then free to pummel both their @sses in the end.
I've seen this sort of thing happen in car racing. Where the two front racers wear out their tires and brakes - breaking hard, accelerating, and bumping while the 3rd place guy just sits there waiting to pounce after they've both beaten themselves up.
One more observation:
Rupp often makes drastic accelerations in tactical races. This always has a price. Lagat and Farah usually gradually move up much like a gently hit puck on ice.
On what F***ing grounds? he finished the damn race and didn't even get lapped. wtf is wrong with usatf? and what is wrong with salazar? what a freakin Pu**, that is beyond pathetic. sorry but after today I can never again cheer for a salazar athlete.

Come on... Hill was in lane 1 and Rupp and weaving in and out behind Hill. I watched the race myself, Rupp was all over the place late in the race. The contact came when he tried to go around Hill, then changed his mind and went back to the inside. Very similar to the contact with Hassay, but Hill and crew have enough balls not to care.
Too many minor incidents with Al using his power and influence to get things to go his way. This guy is a maniac and needs to be contained before he destroys the integrity of US distance running. Has someone started a petition yet? I would gladly sign... Where are the details of his 3rd protest? I'm only asking for transparency. This guy is pure slime and is operating a mafia.

I believe Bumbalough paced for 2k and basically stopped giving an effort or something of the sort. It was something of the same situation that got Makhloufi originally DQ'd in the olympics, since he jogged the 800m to save himself for the 1500m.
From what I understand, Salazar didn't do a thing to get Bumbalough DQ'd, nor did Nike, considering Bumbalough is one of their athletes. Bumby just made it a bit too obvious.
Hey, I got an idea. Why don't everyone just shut the F up and run like hell just incase the Ethiopians or Kenyans want to try a fast paced "team" race at the worlds meet while on their PED's? It might be good practice for everyone and increase their chances at actually producing some G-D results for once!!!!!! All this in-fighting doesn't improve our chances any.
hold the phone batman, he ran approx 70 pace (4:40/mi) for the last K, nobody can say that doesn't meet the "honest effort" rule. further, another thread stated that it was posted he was deeked for "impeding an athlete's progress" which sure couldn't be anyone outside of Rupp, so all fingers point to salazar again for this one. sad. just can't believe how corrupt this sport has become. Teddy mitchell being the "team coach", salazar putting whoever he wants on the team, usatf is pathetic
