In Defense of Galen

You're looking for a period there, not a comma. Also, attacking perceived (imagined) motives versus the validity of posts = troll status. I'm done.

ummm, no. Goodbye, troll.

All these Galen backers are going to feel just as silly as the Lance Armstrong whack pack as soon as the truth comes out. It's the same story repeating itself. Silly Fan Boy...

I bet

How many of the people SPECULATING about Rupp are also questioning about Bernard Lagat? Oh yeah him! The confirmed doper (positive test in early 2000's) who keeps out kicking the best in the world in his late 30's....

Silly because the last time I checked, we live in the era of the biological passport and EPO tests. Lance only got caught because he came back.

Galen can't cheat the biological passport. He's the most tested track athlete in the US.

So, not the same story. No Michelle Ferrari running a micro-dosing regime.

I'm not full of crap.

Funny how Ricky Simms release statement regarding NOP TUE and thyroid use, yet none of the Schumacher crew has come forward to admit or deny use.

Why is that? Is it because it was damage what little credibility they have when trashing the NOP group?

3.86 is no where "near 4.0." Did you yourself even go to college?

3.86 is ridiculously close to 4.0. On a percentage basis 4.0= 85%+, 3.86= 84%. At a minimum you need to get a LOT of A's to get that close to 4.0.

Though Oregon isn't a particularly school.

3.89 is close to 4.0. His GPA is not even a relevant topic. I merely mentioned it because that jackwad launched a personal attack that was without truth or cause, and I felt it was important to point out that Galen is not a robot but is actually an intelligent and capable man.

Rupp is far from the most tested track athlete in the U.S. But, if you count the special secretive testing NOP does on Rupp then you of all people, Frost, would know.

Wait...are you are claiming that because the Biological Passport exists, and a reliable EPO test exists, that cheating no longer occurs in the world of Track and Field?

I really hope I misread that.

Still waiting on some actual evidence that Jerry's group was on thyroid meds. Until you produce, it really is just an unsupported rumor, and one I've never seen pop up on this message board before.

I don't have any confidential medical records from Dr. Brown but I know what I know, and I believe the first-hand account from someone within the Schumacher camp. So I guess you will just have to decide what to believe. I can also guarantee you you won't have their camp come forward saying that they aren't/weren't under the care of Dr. Brown and using T3/4.

As to my biological passport claim, that was merely to dismiss the notion that Lance and Galen are analogous situations. Obviously cheating still exists, I just know for a fact it isn't happening in NOP.

You know what you know because you are involved with the Dr. Brown-Rupp process. Rupp is using something special that is not T3/4. Rupp will be caught once WADA figures out Rupp's special, and improper, process.

I graduated from UP have been an avid track fan following Ritz Webb hall in the early 2000s to rupp to verzbicas. One of my buddies who graduated with me has actually worked with the NOP and I can confirm that members of both Schumacher and Salazar groups are on thyroid medicine. I will not name names but hopefully this word of mouth will clear things up that it is not just Salazar and rupp that are on the thyroid meds

How about some someone tweet at Derrick, Hill, Jäger, Bumbi, Solinsky and ask them. I personally believe Jerry's crew is 100% clean.

Come on! Name the clean guys.

Galen is not using anything special. You have no reason to believe this, no evidence to support it, and you surmise that he will be caught for something that you don't even know exists. If anything is improper, it's your baseless accusations and idiot's perspective.

I like your tweeting idea better.

Ah, A Duck comes out of his shell and exposes himself. We all now know the Rupp is guilty of using something that hasn't been, but will be, banned.

How do we know this? I want you to explain with certainty how you, and everyone else, know this. I want to know how he is "guilty" without arbitration for using something that you hypothesize exists but doesn't exist. Conviction by baseless accusation is the new legal code of Letsrun.com!

Since you are obviously omniscient, provide us with you all-consuming clarity.
