Galen Rupp most tested athlete proves he is clean.

Notice how for example Lopez Lomong is tested 14 times, while Craig Engels or Clayton Murphy only 2 times. They must suspect something.

Yeah, the bigger story to me was Lomong being tested 14 times to Galen’s 16. He hasn’t been great for YEARS.

...or Treniere Mosier 11 times? She didn't even race in 2017, did she? Probably still doing heavy squats with her hamstring injury- you know, the one that caused her to mysteriously scratch from the world champs?

NOP is surely in a special category, thanks to the on-going investigation (now entering its 6th year).

You say that, but I'm seeing Jerry Schumacher's athletes towards the top versus everyone else...

Lomong, Jager, Flanagan locking down 3 of the top 8 most tested. Was Ritz ever with Schu?

You got that right...it's a simple supplement readily available at your local Walmart. Not banned and probably not much of a performance enhancer.

Is the L-carnitine for intravenous administration available at Walmart or GNC?

Answer:

No.

L-carnitine for injection is available only by prescription from a physician because it is a prescription drug.

Alberto and Dr. Brown also went way over the limit of 50 mL for an IV with NOP athletes.

The quantity of L-carnitine was NOT RECORDED in the medical records of ANY of the NOP athletes by Dr. Brown.

Dr. Brown also altered medical records for NOP athletes by removing a page from Dathan Ritzenhein's medical records.

Dr. Brown also added false information to the medical records of Ritz and Steve Magness.

Coach Alberto "AlbuterolAndrogelLevothyroxineCytomelSalbutamol" Salazar is Coach of the Year for 2017.

The female distance runners from the USA have a great record of running clean.

Most tested US athlete. And that's because he appeared on the most likely doping list because of an unnaturally high off-score plus had suspiciously elevated testo levels in the build-up to the 2016 Olympics.

So it is almost the opposite of proof that he is clean - it is proof that he is among the most suspicious athletes.

Come on Rek, even you do have to concede that the more suspicious athletes are near the top of the list.

Yes. Do you?

It'll come out. Just not this year.

So what hotshot...it doesn't matter because it's not performance enhancing. Show me some legitimate studies where it's performance enhancing with athletes then we'll talk. ?

Hey...wait a minute here! When I've posted that dispaly & link it gets deleted. You have preferential treatment or something?

Simply having naturally higher blood values might get you selected more frequently, based on some complex software algorithm using multiple scores, looking blindly at numbers.

No, it does not. You forgot, as you did repeatedly with Paula's ludicrous >16 g/dL after her history with values around 12 and 13 (after altitude!), that the algorithms work with individualized scores.

Yes. Typical USADA: all bark and no bite. See Wilson and Roberts.

What I find interesting, based on your presumption and logic, is that Shalane is more “suspicious” than Jordan, “in USADA’s eyes”. Apparently USADA thinks differently than Shalane about who you chose to surround yourself with, and what that says about you.

What makes you say that? After all, she trains with Jager, named as the most suspicious athlete on IAAF's "likely doping" list by a large margin. And is part of the Nike teams.

She also might (look, I am using your favourite word here) have had highly suspicious test results. So your "Apparently USADA thinks" comment should rather be written as "Maybe USADA thinks" at best, for it is not exactly apparent.

A five-second google search and I found this:

Yes. Plus, using this forbidden method is supposed to result in a 4-year ban, nothing to shrug off. (2 years, if done unintentionally, such as falling by mistake into a 500 ml syringe...)

Wow...amazing study! Double blinded and everything. So, Salazar is trying to pull out all the tricks to improve performance with his athletes? I've heard somewhere that Salazar sent an email to Armstrong about IV L-carnitine and how excited how he would be at this, or something along those lines? Imagine - Lance excited about a performance enhancing substance...who would have thought. ?

You posting this proves you are an assclown.

Good, thorough, insightful information as usual casual observer ? (do you think rekrunner just "tasks" you with his rhetoric all the time?).

Galen has been tested roughly every 25 days since 2010. Not including competitions.

Factoring in competitions — since Rupp races more frequently than almost any other runner, Galen’s been test 25-30 times per year consistently.

If he is testing, they’ve found something that leaves your system in 24 hours.

Rupp has intentionally reduced his # of tests by moving to the Marathon.

2 marathons per year and 3-4 shorter races.

And nobody knows the amount of L-C he is IVing because he can do it himself.

(Google self administered IV - nice YouTube videos)

Do to think they gave up the Gold Mine!?

Rupp? Salazar?!
