Hhahhaa. Good one. By doping, do you by chance mean "ballerness"?
The last race Galen was in, he wupped every other runner.
He and centro have surpassed any wannabe that you root for.

You do know that Centro, Jr. was being coached already by his father and that both Centro, Sr. and Salazar were and are involved in his coaching.
“Already” — ha! Not before 2017, first of all. Centro moved East - and his father took over his coaching much more closely. So your comment is irrelevant.

Yes. However, there is a confounding variable which NOBODY has sniffed, unsurprisingly given this sad board is replete with mental midgets.
Matthew Centrowitz has certainly retained his ties with Sal, but MATT Centrowitz (his vaunted father) has essentially taken over his daily training.
His father's training "philosophy" is old-school, hard/long-run, good-work.... in direct contrast to Sal's training "science," which is (at least ostensibly) formulated and enacted according to various reliable physiological and anatomical findings. Father Matt is simply an incompetent, manic, angry ogre -- just watch his Workout Wednesday. He does little to justify the workout, and actually says he is "not too scientific at this point in the season." Ha!!! Also, I have run for Matt Centrowitz. He produces his training with whimsical intuitions rooted in his days at Oregon. The team-attrition rate is literally >75%. Nobody from my generation ran all four years.
You are welcome for the answer.
If Matthew continues to trust his father's inadequate and mostly baseless workout, run, recovery, nutritional intuitions, probably at the expense of Sal's clearly successful training and proximity, mediocre results will keep ensuing.
So I'm suppose to believe that one year after winning the olympics centro leaves Oregon, all but changes coaches, all on a "whim",and this is why he isn't performing well. Sounds like career suicide, why not retire?

First, we do not know the internal mechanics of his decisions. Externally, and perhaps plausibly, Centro felt on top of the world and maybe this super-vitalized his relationship with his father, whom had already, as noted, been involved in Centro's training at least peripherally. He also stated quite colloquial and intelligible reasons in an interview, and in his filmed workout he admitted to enjoying the after-time too much, which likely meant (again, internally) partying, goofing off, traveling, and subconsciously (if we are brazen), he may have felt the apex had been attained, given his surprise win. Who knows why he moved East? You think going East protects him from failing a drug test? If so, that is a reflex. It does not matter where you are, even if you are deep in East Africa training. Finally, we know Centro is frequently tested. So suspicions should seriously decrease.
As for career suicide, I extremely doubt Centro thought being directly and even primarily under his father's would lead to this sharp decline in performances. However, I was also not suggesting that his father's training is the ONLY cause.
Sr isn't running the show here, just chiming in, as he did BEFORE Jr moved back East. The main difference is that father and son see each other more. It ain't just Skyping, it's Sunday afternoon dinner face-to-face interaction. There's great value in that.
And, at the same time, Jr, who knows success and knows the positives that result from Salazar's coaching, isn't foolish enough to abandon what brought him success. Like any smart human being, he is open to the opinions of another highly successful runner and coach -- Sr, but Jr's coach is still Salazar.

Centro is tested frequently? Lance was the most tested athlete in professional sports for an entire decade during which he participated in a sophisticated and systematic drug ring.
As for the rest of your post, any info directly from jr is irrelevant given his status as a cheater. He has no credibility. His reasons for relocating, whatever they were, coincided with the release of certain documents implicating him, which says more than his lying little mouth ever will.
