We changed the title of this thread. It initially was entirled, "Jonathan J. Marcus, What is your LetsRun Username? J. Marcus accuses Yared Nuguse of Doping Based on....." We removed the first half as we didn't think it was really relevent to the discussion at hand.
i dont agree.i bet the oac or whatever they called themselves were full on doping,on epo,nandrolone,winstrol and goodness knows what else.nothing grey area about alberto or his group.the full on doping didnt come out,but it went on.grey area is just a smoke screen.i know less about dathans team,but theyre probably full on doping as well.
Posting wild allegations about top runners without evidence? The poor dears at LRC are shocked, I tell you, just shocked that anyone would do something like that!

Coaches not only impart skills and knowledge, but they are mentors, role models, teachers, confidants, and even friends for very influenceable young adults.
On Twitter, Jonathan J. Marcus accuses (somewhat indirectly) Yared Nuguse of doping based off of Yared's hip position during the push-off/propulsion phase.
The photo of yared's stride is clearly from late in the race, a time when producing speed is more important that efficiency. So why is Marcus talking about efficiency? That's like saying Bekele's form is more efficient when he runs 30 then when he runs 24 for 200. Of course it is, but that's not the point.
Marcus also talks about how Yared is producing force rather than "transporting" it. No s*** he's producing force, it's called accelerating.
I do think Dathan has his team on all the grey area stuff that Alberto used but nobody on OAC is full on doping.
Im pretty sure everyone who trained under alberto was on EPO and other drugs,not just grey area.The full on doping has been swept under a rug,to save embarresment,but it went on.
Dr. Jeffrey Brown was banned from the sport for four years (so it expired just the other day). It would've been impossible for them to "work with the same thyroid therapist as Dathan".

College coaches are responsible for the coaching, mentoring, welfare and development of our kids. Having read the huge amount of BS that JMar has posted online, especially the attacks on Nguse and the entire Washington team, i can safely say that I would never let my kids go and run for him.
As a coach, you need to be consistent in your behaviour. You need to avoid the kind of behaviour that makes most of the nation cringe and feel sorry for those associated with you. Just avoid that kind of rubbish and you'll be safer to be around than JMar.
Seriously what does JMar and Magness do for money??? They're not coaching, their podcast sure as he'll doesn't make money... how do these guys make a living?
More important -- who is JMar and what exactly are his credentials?
