Any interest in Kara Goucher's new book?

I need to read the book to see if the assault is a classic "he said/she said" case or if there is other evidence, but why would Salazar give massages to anyone? I doubt he knows what he is doing and NIke could provide qualified therapists to the athletes. Just a bad look.

This is so true. I might add low self-esteem will cause someone not only to keep returning to their abuser, but to shoulder the blame and defend to the ends of the Earth the person pulling the strings. I’ve seen it happen firsthand.

Don’t get me wrong - as I think NOP did a lot of shady stuff and wouldn’t be surprised if all the details of organized drug use come out one day.

BUT - the sexual allegation would be more credible if it came from Galen as I always thought Rupp was more Salazar’s cup of tea.

Alberto should just come out as tranz and the woke mob wouldn't know what the hell to do.

True BUT then you are your fellow bigots would crucify him.

It’s also very tiresome that these type of books always come out years or decades after it happened. If you are too worried about you money to say something at the time, then just accept the fact you choose money and career over truth and concern for all the others involved. live with that choice.

Of course the only thing that mattered to Kara was $$$$$. She stayed with NOP for $$$. She left NOP for $$$. And she wrote a tell all book for $$$.

If you don't care, why do you open a topic about it?
Get a job!

Metoo was a necessary movement and most women should be believed. Unfortunately there is another movement for grabbing attention by any means necessary and using sexual and racial ammo as a means to blame others for things that do not go as you want. This is a massive disservice the majority of real victims out there. Also you best believe the real perps are also using this for cover to avoid accountability.

In this for-profit book, Goucher choose to question the credibility of two of her teammates by innuendo and without any evidence. It causes me question everything else that she wrote.

So when she went to USADA in 2013 and then to safesport and was proved right because he got banned from both places that wasn’t quick enough for you? Obsessed with her here. She fought back and won. She has the right to tell her story. Says more about the peopel slamming her than anything else. She will never win with some of you. You all can’t handle women who tell the truth and don’t take sh+t.

When did she get divorced?

Do you think Alberto sexually abused Galen and Galen is just too embarrassed to come out and say so?

Alberto is not gay. So if there was any abuse it was emotional but let us be real here. Many coaches are slightly abusive. That is why if you have any pride you leave them when/if you see it.

Powerful men and powerful woman have a dance that gets messy when one starts to have bad feelings. Both parties are adults and both parties get a dopamine rush in pushing the limits of a platonic relationship. Once a boyfriend or spouse gets wind of it, the dopamine surge decrease and panic sets in. That's when either consenting adults start to form the narrative of what "actually happened" despite the push and pull of two emotionally needy individuals. I believe that each starts to believe their own narrative as truth so that they may save their marriages or job. This happens in the work place, schools, hospitals, law firms etc.... It is inherently based on 2 people who in the outside project strength, sexuality and power but on the inside are looking for something to fill an empty void that is not met by their current partner. their partner could be perfect, but sometimes these individuals seek so much attention they become addicted to the rush of being just a little bit inappropriate.

Grown women and men know exactly what rape and molestation is. There really isn't too much of a gray zone that can be miscalculated for years. Therapy years later often reveals thoughts of victimhood that didn't really exist in the powerful cat and mouse dance.

Kara’s book is a good read. I take the information at face value - it’s Kara’s story. I’d really like to hear other people who were in the Alsal system speak out. Did Jordan Hasay have similar experiences? Seems like she could be considered Kara version 2.

Like Molly, Emma, Monson, etc.; don’t like Kara…go figure and in terms of the book, I am shooting the messager.

Watch your step, mates. I think around here you're supposed to express Kara hate by saying she got her Osaka medal in a weak field with unusually hot weather, therefore she was never really that competitive. We can't have an argument floating around based on the idea that maybe she had a solid career with some impressive performances.

I used to be a big fan until she seemed to have embraced everything that is Woke and Left. The White Liberal Virtue Signaling is cringe. DIdn't she blame one of her grandparents death to Trump?
