Wait. What Steve??? You take thyroid? You were one of the star witnesses in a program 9 years later that implied using thyroid meds was cheating and drug abuse.

I know, I know....this is just too much. So let's see here, basically we have all these athletes accusing Al of pushing legal, non- PED, medication on his athletes to gain an advantage, and most of them......(wait for it).....have taken such meds themselves, but claim, of course, that *THEIR* usage is all on the up and up. We have:

"DEER" Adam Goucher: took anti-depressants, thyroid, asthma...(? not sure about all those)

Cryin' Kara Goucher: thyroid meds

Steve Magness: Thyroid Meds

Laura intheFleshwoman: asthma, almost(?, or did she?) took thyroid

Who else?

RE: Is Tegenkamp Blood Doping? 6/27/2009

I remember reading and article in the Boulder Daily Camera when Kara Goucher was a senior at UC (just before or after she won the NCAA XC). In the article, there was a reference to a procedure she underwent to overcome iron deficiency (if I recall correctly). The essence of the procedure sounds a lot like this platelet therapy. I remember thinking to myself (with my non-scientific brain), "That sounds a lot like blood doping."

It seemed too coincidental that she had this blood therapy and then kicked some ass.

Can anybody come up with that article?

the best thing Salazar can do with Rupp or any of his other runners, is to train them the best he can and then hope the Olympics and other major meet directors have the integrity to test for the cheaters. No way should an ?American kid become a cheater too. .....The Tour de France is a wonderful race, they attempt to run a clean event. Same can't be said for NY Marathon, or Chicago, or Boston.

Oh my.....
