Find it's hard to believe this. But it would explain why Sal has been on edge. Time will tell.

This would crush American distance running

It would also explain why Schumacher said to Alberto "...If my guys were on PEDs..." after Alberto s epic meltdown last week.

I don't think that Schumacher would have ever said that to Al if it wasn't true. Salazar has way too much power at Nike for that to happen.

Man! Why aren't the mods saying anything?! Argh!!!

I might find it hard to sleep tonight....

Schumacher didn't say that. One guy on one thread said he heard it, then admitted he was trolling.

The odd thing is that supposed fans of the sport want and wish all the top american runners to be caught doping, or just hate them because...

Of course these were the same ones bashing US running for sucking, now that there are actually some good runners, clearly they must be cheating.

What a sorry sad bunch they are.

No, what we want is a story. Journalism. Like every other fan.

There is a difference between wanting a breaking story with the down right glee that abounds on this site wanting folks to fail or reveling in it.

They get bashed for losing, get bashed for winning, get bashed for sit and kick, get bashed for front running, rumors about doping, almost wanting folks to be doping.

As a fan I want stories about training (loved the stuff on flo track with after race work outs) results of races, real stories, not all this crap accusing /smearing athletes with no proof.

I enjoy the actual threads on running with smart , insightful commentary about runners, training and racing. The constant bashing , whining and trolling , not so much.

I think it mostly just impacts posters on letsrun. Folks read crap on these threads and assume it is true.

Like really? you think Schumacher would say that ? really?

It's so true that runners get bashed for their styles.

Uh! Sit and kick?! What a jerk! He just lets everyone else do the work!

Uh! Front running?! What an idiot! He should be drafting!

Honestly, let them play to their strengths.

Where did the guy admit he was trolling?

HEY BROJOS!!!

I know you guys crawl around the message board this time of night.

If you're not going to delete this thread, speak up on this issue. Why so silent?

Quick, somebody do a video analysis of his every race on youtube and tell us if he's doped

I was on the Oregon team around the same time as Centro (we overlapped for a few years). There is indeed word going around among my former teammates about Centro failing a drug test. I've gotten a few texts about it, but I don't know the extent to which it has been discussed among the Oregon alum network (I think word is spreading quickly though). I've been asking the two people who first told me about this and I'll report back when they get back to me.

It would, absolutely. And IMO it would implicate either other NOPers or other Oregonians...

Oh crap. But I live in Oregon. Does that mean if Centro is dirty that by living in Oregon I too am dirty? Do we have EPO in the tap water? I need answers!

Check out my other response

I meant he probably started with some group, either NOP or the oregon univ program, and so he either implicates the university or NOP.

Later in the thread after someone else brought up libel.

But that's irrelevant. If you're gullible enough to believe that Jerry Schumacher shouted that phrase at Alberto Salazar in public, at the USATF indoor meet, based on nothing but an anonymous message board post, then I don't know what to tell you. You don't think maybe Jon Gugala, in his post USATF Indoors twitter-gasm, might have reported it, if it actually happened? Or maybe Weldon and Robert would have mentioned it on the front page?

Here, later in the thread he admits he was trolling. Now we can put the Schumacher thing to rest already.
