I was curious given the posts in this thread so I listened to the whole interview…my goodness. The hosts are certainly not helping, but Cooper doesn’t come off like a professional whatsoever. Most cringeworthy part to me was actually when they’re badmouthing the smaller groups like NAZ elite, Hansons, and the Baltimore UA group etc
I listened to the podcast. A lot of growing up to do at 23 years old, adjust vocabulary, learn humility (fast), think before you speak. Don’t do interviews until you master these basic abilities.
Grant Fisher can and hopefully will teach him all of those things.
Something tells me Grant won't be around to mentor young Kooper Tearjerk in any fashion.

I would like to add that Rachel McArthur also did an interview on this podcast before Cooper did his and she sounds much more likeable and intelligent. I found this interesting because for some reason I thought it might be the opposite (Cooper more professional and she less so but I stand corrected).
Do you think all of BTC is doping and everyone who joins knows before they join? If so, how has that never been leaked by someone like Grant Fisher, someone with an engineering degree from Stanford?
As for your last question: at best, BTC is a team that openly supports a banned doper, and let her train with them while banned, and used lies as cover up, and attacked WA + AIU + CAS + WADA for doing their job. Would people with integrity join such a team?
At worst, all of them are doping, but I think the truth is - as every so often - somewhere in between.
I’d judge that the exodus of female athletes before Houlihan was outed as a doper is a clear demonstration of integrity. On the other hand , an engineering degree from Stanford shows that an individual is a good applied physicist, but does not guarantee integrity.
To me, it‘s abundantly clear that every current member of the Buritto Track Club at all levels is OK with doping even if they aren‘t themselves. Clear as day.

…or, with them intimately close to the situation, that they might know something more than what a random dude on the internet knows. Have you even met let alone spent any significant amount of time with the 15 people that you’re disparaging?
