It wouldn't be unreasonable for Magness to change his opinion, after working with Salazar/Rupp at Nike.
He clearly went there, anticipating working a "dream job", and left....
fired. Was never qualified to be in that position.
I don't know what a 2006 opinion tells us. It's like drudging up old Salazar quotes. What is interesting is that Dr Brown is a doctor to athletes before Salazar. Reading these boards I had the impression he was only an NOP doctor. I guess that is not so. I wonder just how many runners see these doctors. There is Hall, the Gouchers and some on the board speculate about others.I keep saying I think the testosterone is the issue.

She simply said that Alberto told her to take Cytomel early in 2011 when didn't have a prescription for it and that allegation stands."
Then at best Kara was trying to mislead everyone.
To say "well, I was on Cytomel and my Dr prescribed it, but on one particular day my prescription hadn't been renewed and AS told me to borrow Galen's". Is a much different story than "AS asked me to take some of Galen's prescription meds."
You see? At best she is totaly misleading everyone if she actually had a prescription for the meds and took them regularly and just didn't have a current prescription that day. If she hid the fact that she indeed did take Cytomel (perhaps even before she was with NOP???!!) she's screwed.
She's no longer credible until she produces documentation that she did not take Cytomel except when pushed to do so by AS, and has A LOT of explaining to do.
In Defense of Tiger Woods: I Must Confess I Saw Dr. Anthony Galea

In the Galea controversey you stated:
"But to vilify Tiger for seeing a doctor who other athletes regarded as the best in the world and who does a treatment that is perfectly legal and approved by the anti-doping authoritities is crazy."
So the thyroid meds and other "grey area" techniques that are legal, and that are the target of these allegations (as reiterated by rojo, who stated no one is accusing them of uding PEDs) were previously not an issue for you. Why now?
Also, in the same article you mentioned you received an injection in the US, what was it?
Last you stated:
"But to vilify every athlete who has ever seen Dr. Galea or to automatically assume that Mark Lindsay is a cheat as well without even seeing the results of the investigation is way too much. Prescribing HGH is perfectly legal in Canada."
Is it not ironic that you cover these allegations, and place them on your front page, when it is the same act you were condemning the Times of doing?
