Yeah, I'll say that Kara posting this is different from the others because she has really used her platform to call out abuse and has a book coming out soon which is presumably about her abusive coaches.
That's why she was hit the hardest in the IG comments. Also, generally speaking I wasn't a fan of the "no one asked us" mentality, like why would any investigators ask any of you for your opinion? You can give it, but don't lament them not calling you when you weren't there between 2017-2019.
And who exactly assigned these, "investigators" ??
The investigators are from the University of Colorado’s internal investigation, and the investigation was requested by the Athletic Director.
"Sorry, but her SM crusade is inappropriate, incredibly hypocritical, and honestly her bias is obvious in that she only supports whatever serves her narrow, present circumstances."
I find that hard to believe.
Deer Kara, why don’t you restore your deleted IG post?
Is the lawsuit surprising? Reading Running with the Buffalos, how can any of this be disputed?
Goucher never eats lunch. If he is hungry, he will have a granola bar or another light snack. The guys, especially Reese, kid him that he does not eat enough. He used to eat more. Standing 5'9" to Y l 0", he weighs in at just under 140 pounds. At the Olympic Trials in Atlanta in 1996, he weighed 145. After the 5000-meter final, where he finished a disappointing fourteenth, Wetmore told him he was fat. Goucher was livid. When he calmed down he realized Wetmore was right, and he has made a conscious effort to lose any excess weight since then.
He runs powerfully with that slight roll of his shoulders, and he leans into every stride. He runs shirtless, and Wetmore notices his ripped appearance: "Goucher's looking lean enough, huh?" In terms of leanness, Goucher also sets the standard. After practice yesterday, Wetmore reached out and pinched Slattery's stomach. "Pretty good," said Wetmore. Slattery has lost ten pounds since arriving in Boulder. Then Wetmore held his hand out, rubbing fingers. "Goucher" -he paused- "he's like paper."
Batliner hopes to extend his discipline to the dinner table. Wetmore has put him on a 2000-calorie-a-day diet. Batliner is down to 138 pounds-six pounds over his racing weight-but he needs to lose more. He says Wetmore told him, "Don't go eat Village for breakfast and have your 2000 calories 'cause then you're screwed, you can't eat anything all day." Batliner went anyway this morning, getting the number five over medium. After which he says, "I ain't eating sht till dinner." It is only a couple of hours away ... In Wetmore's opinion, the emphasis on weight is not overrated. "Leanness is underrated," he says. "I tell people, `Go look at Track and Field News. See what those people look like. You should look like a skeleton with a condom pulled over your skull."'

Bingo.
Running with the buffaloes always freaked me out even when I read it back in 2002.
