Not sure why you're getting all the downvotes, because your post raises a solid point. If the coaches did dope up their athletes, which seems more likely than not, then the feelings towards said coaches should trickle down to the athletes who benefitted from it. At the very least, it's understandable why the athlete would come under fire for associating themselves so close to the program even after everything that went down with the Johnsons. The dismissive attitudes of many posters on here is incredulous because of how they react to African runners, Mo Katir, OAC, and other "dopers." If doping is seemingly as widespread as LetsRunners make it seem, then we should rightly look at the HU scandal as harder proof than anything against those I mentioned above.
Like Astro or not, he raises a valid point. To ignore it and downvote it without a second thought shows the hypocrisy of all involved.
The issue is the hypocrisy. These same posters CHERISH Grant Fisher, Evan Jager, etc. despite athletes from their group being caught doping. Jerry can pretend he had nothing to do with it, but Jerry clearly knew (if not helped her dope) and he defended her even though she was 100% dirty. But Cranny, Fisher, McGorty, and all don't get 1/100th of the hate that Wiley does.
These posters WORSHIP coaches like Wetmore and Mike Smith who married athletes they coached. Even Geiger at NC State married an athlete he coached. It's creepy and wrong, but why don't those coaches ever get criticized? There is a clear double standard.
Here's the reason - the Tuohy fans like astro will SLANDER anyone who threatens Tuohy athletically. They accused Valby of doping with no proof. Now they are trying to ruin Wiley's reputation when she's passed every drug test she's taken.
I disagree with this…companies will absolutely line up to sign her.
You’re right and I agree with this only in the sense that are Nick and Lauren willing to let her go…like they should’ve when she originally committed to CU?
If companies are interested in signing her, this would be the time to do it -- before the finals. I don't see it happening. We've seen other high school and college kids with sign deals and NILs over the past few weeks.
My only comment is it seems very odd for a top recruit to at the last minute turn down an offer which would have allowed her to train at altitude in a college program with demonstrated W miler success.
She's bigger than the pros - the show companies will be begging her to take their money.
Begging her to take their money as long as she leaves Huntington and finds a new coach. No team is offering her a thing when her University and "former" coaches are under investigation.
Once again I want to cheer for Addy, and I want her to get a massive contract cause she deserves it. But as of right now that's not happening any time soon.
