Rowan Seth Clev Whistleblower

So much winning!

For what? Saying true things?

The fact that they got a cease and desist before transparency is pretty telling of the Rowan atm

Added on the fact that RCS’ response was basically a “thanks but no thanks” lmaoooo

I remember when Lance Armstrong tried to bully people with lawsuits. Didn't work out so well for him as he eventually received a lifetime doping ban. Good for @rowancleansport for standing up to bullies. Nothing to fear when you're telling the truth

I mean is he really going to sue anybody? Can't imagine discovery would go well for him

I wonder who's behind the Rowan Clean Sport Initiative, just because they really seem to have their ducks in a row. Rowan sends them a threatening (but legally dubious) cease-and-desist letter, and the very same day Rowan Clean Sport not only isn't cowed but absolutely destroys them with their response. Seems they either have a pretty smart pre-law student on their side, or they're consulting with a lawyer.

I’m trying to figure out who it is based on their few following but honestly they could be playing 5d chess if they didn’t follow their personal account t

Yeah that was a pretty amazing response, though I'm not a lawyer so it's obviously hard to opine on the legalities of either side. I have a feeling the Rowan lawyer thought they were dealing with some pesky undergrad who would be easily cowed by their threats, which clearly wasn't the case. Runners are often nerdy, obsessive people, some of whom become lawyers, so not really the best group to have against you.

Honestly, I don’t know how much the athlete who’s leaking emails is risking but they’re an unsung hero.

Oh my god Shawn Tucker is trying to gas light his own athletes. Sad.

Surely there's no way -that- email is real. The AD writes that poorly and calls out Seth by name? Or is Tucker really that stupid and unprofessional?

"To be expected when you win." Could he be more self-righteous?

More like "to be expected when your star athlete was removed from his last team and credibly accused by 4 former teammates of using PEDs."

Yeah, could someone translate that second paragraph for me?

I just emailed the Rowan President. thanks.

It’s unfortunate that the AD/Coach have essentially ruined their career reputations over this. It may be a slow process until they are removed (for optics reasons), but theirs no way they’ll be renewed. And then no one will hire them after that.

PR nightmare right here.

Just keep emailing the president and talking about it. Worst thing that can happen is that they deny it and the pressure goes away. The AD and Coaches are not living in reality. This isn’t just going away.

This is why other people need to keep up the pressure too. If it’s just one account you can dismiss it. If it’s people from all over contacting the school it will matter.

Eventually Rowan will have to address it. Simply for the reason that they can’t maintain normal operations if people keep contacting them and asking to talk with someone about the situation.

If Seth runs during outdoor season they’ll have a wave of this every time he races. And even more so if he runs at NCAAs again. This isn’t going away.

Email. Call. Post.

What an absolute gong show of an email. He has absolutely zero concept or awareness of why someone would question Seth's eligibility.

"What do you mean, just asking the kid isn't enough? You mean we actually have to email someone?!"

The gross thing is that sooner or later, they're going to turn on Seth. The pressure will get to the point where they will point to him, say that Seth didn't tell them the whole story, and it will be just so, so gross.

Rowan safe sport you are literally my hero
