Mary Cain makes more allegations: Claims her HS coach took a perverse interest in the sex lives of his female runners

The same person who sexually assaulted an athlete during a massage? That's one take I guess.

We don't know if that actually happened.

Ya Jack Frost could not be more wrong about Jordan. In case anyone forgot, read this again and reminisce about her role in this incident:

The Inside Story Of Gabriele Grunewald's DQ - Insider Access, False Promises And A Violation Of USATF's Own Rules?

By now, you've heard bits and pieces about what happened on Saturday but we tell you the inside story of what really went down, plus reveal that the Fat Lady hasn't sung yet as an arbitration hearing will take place later thi...

I thought Jordan expressed an interest in dropping the protest? It was Salazar who was obsessed with DQing Gabe.

Triggering? Is Dr. Cain such a delicate flower that he can't politely and professionally decline the request?

I hope she does make it. There was a statement from her that she was promoting her memoir while her classmates are spending 2 weeks studying for their STEP 1 exam. That is odd and concerning. It will be interesting to see how she does in her 3rd and 4th years. As for residency, who knows? As someone who spent a large part of my career in academic medicine and taught and mentored many medical students and residents, I have concerns.

This is the thing, Jordan had some bad moments. This is one of them that she bizarrely got away with. She was the one who let the protest drag on for days. Also she defended Salazar even past her ban. Idk about all of the Mary-Jordan interactions in the book, but I'm not jumping to defend her character either.

saying stuff like this in the year of 2026 is ridiculous. There have been enough claims of sexual assault and harassment from Mary and others at this point. Also, Salazar and Treasure worked together to break people down mentally and emotionally, and that's not just coming from Mary. I'm tired of the weird romanticization of his controlling behavior too. He wasn't controlling these people to make them better runners, because in many cases they didn't become better runners. He was controlling them because he liked to control them.

I think you’re trying to justify a chapter that reflects poorly on the Cains. According to Mary’s own words, Alberto was looking for someone to bring Julian’s medication to him in Europe, not write a prescription, and we don’t know why but for the alleged fact that he had run out or was running out of medication.

The causes can be many and it rarely has to do with just being, as you say, “enough of a grown-up” to make sure one has their medication. This is exactly the kind of attitude patients abhor about the health care system in America. I hope you don’t see your patients that way when things go awry.

Perhaps Julian’s stay in Europe with Mary was longer than planned. Perhaps there was an insurance snafu. Maybe his luggage was stolen. I don’t know, and neither do you, but I wouldn’t characterize this as emotional blackmail. This isn’t a case of a physician's friend asking for an antibiotic or Adderall. This is cancer medication prescribed by an oncologist, and Julian was supposedly with his teenager daughter in Europe looking after her. So without the medication, he dies?

It would have been a good moment in that time for Mary’s father to demonstrate compassion. Not break the law. Just demonstrate compassion and try to help come up with a solution.

On the surface, many facts appear to be omitted, but the cruelty and lack of compassion attributed to Dr. Cain and Mary in this instance remains. The fact that she joyfully wrote about it and called him a loser, just left a bad taste in my mouth.

She is a cancer to the sport and people around her. She needs to grow up and move on with her life!

Yeah I think the protest, however ridiculous it was, reflects more on Salazar than Jordan and certainly doesn't prove that she said mean things to Mary.

Is this race available anywhere to watch? I have checked both Youtube and USATF.tv and found nothing. I can't even find any photos that show the contact. I understand the race is 12 years old and will be tough to locate online. Even snippets that show the alleged "foul" would be great.

The link to the USATF vid is broken. But I remember watching it at the time. Gabe made slight contact bumping Jordan as she passed her on the outside with a lap to go. Jordan was totally dying and wobbled when Gabe bumped her because she was so tired. Gabe was going by at a much faster speed than Jordan and Jordan clearly had no fight left. I would say incidental contact that Gabe initiated. The bump didn't affect the race outcome. Rest in peace Gabe.

Yes, but only after that scathing letsrun article and whatnot, see the Editor's Note in that link.

I am about 50% through this book and it is sad and pathetic if all of her allegations are true - starting very early in high school. She is Always the victim. I was an MC fan back in the day and recall the excitement at the Armory when she broke the HS mile record. I also am a running bibliophile and this book is so poorly written (she uses present tense which makes it sound like the work of a 4th grader) I can't wait to finish it. She literally throws everyone under the bus from her running past. (HS coach, HS teammates and their parents, Hasay, Flanagan, Ritz, Alberto of course, his wife....) and makes a multitude of ? false or at least very hard to believe statements. This book will benefit no one and expect the sales to be poor. I would not waste my $$. MC - Please move on with your medical career and make the world a better place.

What are you implying was Hasay's role?

Hasay voluntarily withdrew the appeal/her spot. It was 100% Alberto pushing for the DQ

Nah if Mary Cain went to college she would have gotten at least one coach fired. She probably would complain about all the same stuff.

Whats crazy is if it was all so bad why didn’t she and her parents make a change? She was the fastest high schooler ever!!!! Did they not realize they could change coaches, move back home? EVERYONE knew Alberto was insane!

Remember… Alan Webb? One year of college, then did his own thing. Told Nike who his coach was going to be where he was going to live. Boom.

Remember when Drew Hunter told Adidas to sponsor his friends and train with Tinman then left him high and dry to work with his mom?

Or Parker Valby telling NB… nah I’m moving bye Boston.

Didnt Keeley change up her situation?
