None of the elite runners are congratulating Rupp on twitter (and only a few are congratulating Hasay)

Waaaaah! How many Hallmark cards do you think Rod Dixon, Steve Jones, or Bill Rodgers sent?

RUPP is dirty and they know it

USATF is in bed with NIKE and cant afford to ban him

Hard to say what most people think. But this would have nothing to do with #FBI or #WADA, not to mention it's the wrong Dibaba, and the coach was actually not caught with EPO in his room. But don't let facts get in the way of your thinking.

Am I the only one that thinks this could be in regard to Dibaba being on a camp where the coach was caught with EPO in his room?

Typical Americans. It's not all about you

As long as we are being accurate as complete with facts. Sometimes you miss things.Aden coaches her sister. Tirunesh was visiting the hotel the team booked when it was raided and Aden’s injured athlete who happened to be there was caught in possession of EPO. He lied about it not being his. It was with his stuff.The search was initiated because Aden was disposing of needles around town. No one failed a test as far as we know

Jordan just CRUSHED Shalane's time. Maybe she is a poor loser. They all remind me of that washed up Meb guy. Their time is over. The baton has been passed. When Alexi, Kara, and Shalane were sitting around a table sharing a pizza with Jordan, none of them thought Jordan would be so much more popular than them.

She only ran 17 seconds faster, which in a marathon is frankly not very much. Shalane is still a way better runner than Hasay. She ran 14:58 as a 36 year old this summer and has 2 global medals (plus Kara also being silver medalist from 2007). I frankly don't really give a crap about Alexi though. Jordan is obviously a freak marathon talent, but one super fast time doesn't necessarily equate to global medals/American records.

You mean “two” super fast times now, correct? Not sure why it’s so hard to give credit where credit is due. Two marathons under 2:25 for a woman is no fluke. Looking forward to Jordan’s future as a marathoner.

And you seem to be permanently unable to argue or think using any sort of fact when it comes to doping in track and field. For your information both Dibaba sisters were in the hotel in Spain where there was an arsenal of EPO in syringes (probably ready to be injected) when the Spanish police raided the hotel. Whose room the EPO was in is not really important given the sheer amount found in the hotel in the raid - it clearly was not for one person.

I don’t give a rat’s pituitary gland about what other people say or think! JORDAN HASAY IS A CUTIE PATOOTIE!!!

Total truth

Rupp completely ignored the crowd as he finished. Much lower appreciation of those who support running than Hall or Meb. Not the kind of example that promotes the sport.

this is probably true.he's not a sociable guy. small circle of buddies, epsecially isnce he probably uses EVERY minute of free time with his wife and kidsrupp probably never congratulates anyone either but people within his training circle.get a life everyone. you're all distance runners too (awkward, weird, nervous, fidgety, skinny)

Probably because none of them are friends with Rupp because Rupp is an impersonal d00che

i was also thinkin in these terms when i heard the commentator mention all the shit a la ivan drago (lol) that rupp uses. underwater treadmill, altitude chamber etc etc...wtf!

and then i read about the first winner who had like 4 part time jobs and studied and wasnt sure he was gonna be able to fit chic mara into his schedule! lol.....yet he ran like 2.17 or something!

imagine what those guys cud have done with rupps facilities! and steve jones! what a mf beat!!!

It is the wrong Dibaba but it is hard to imagine if one Dibaba is on the sauce and the other isn't. They are often seen (training) together in places like Spain or Italy/Greece or not surprisingly, back home in Ethiopia.

Not sure what you mean by "the team". All of these supplemental facts for accuracy and completeness do not bring us any more clarity to Aden's alleged connection to the EPO found in the hotel rooms of Balla (and Yemen roommate) and the Saudi physiotherapist.What I don't get is why no one else is honest enough to correct "the coach was caught with EPO in his room", when according to all reports "the coach was caught with vitamins in his room".

And yet he says nothing wrote:

I never imagined any Dibaba is on the sauce. I note here your choice of verb "imagine". It's hardly worth debating the imaginary.

Not sure with what this has to do with "the coach was caught with EPO in the room". I wasn't arguing anything here, but pointing out that "the coach was actually caught with vitamins in his room". This isn't an argument, but simple fact based on accounts from Spanish newspapers. If it is not important, why say "the coach was caught with EPO in the room" in the first place, and why insist on it? I'm sure the EPO was intended for many persons. But the unanswered question is, do they include any of Aden's athletes, or their sisters, outside of Balla? No one is able to argue that with any sort of fact.

"ezby": I apologize for the snarky comment "don't let facts get in the way of your thinking". Upon reflection, that was uncalled for.I can agree with the sentiment "Typical Americans. It's not all about you.", even if it's not quite the case here.

If you've ever been at a race with Rupp the guy is in his own world. Does his own thing no interaction with any of the other runners especially on race day. Him and Salazar pretty much find their own corner and keep to themselves.

You always say this out of context. It’s his athlete in the athlete’s bag at the training camp set up by Aden. The ‘team’ means he has a group of athletes at the hotel. It looks like they booked most or alOf it. The one arrested for possession of EPO was NOT the Yemeni roommate. It was Aden’s athlete. The denialIs very thin here. Plus, it’s his second athlete caught with / on EPO. Driouch first said it was Aden and took it back.

Galen Rupp and Jordan Hasay are the Alex Rodriguez of distance running
