I think you meant "you people need to get jobs". We can't all share the same job.
This entire thread is both entertaining and disturbing.

I doubt he has agreed to do anything of the like. He seems to have a pretty good handle on the invalidity of message board accusations. Thus I find it hard to believe that he would deem it worth his time to do that, and do it on here nonetheless.
BUT I hope I'm wrong.
So, was Bob Williams the NOP coach who was canned in 2005 after seeing Salazar fuel up Rupp?

I'd add agip and kaitainen at least. Probably a few others.
Back to the question at hand.
If I had a little free time, I'd take this list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sportspeople_sanctioned_for_doping_offences
and add another column "Sponsor".
Then I'd add up all the ones that said "Nike"
Not statistically sound I know, but telling none the less.
(And Adidas would not be far behind)
Alberto told me that he doesn't know "A Duck" and that "A Duck" is not a Nike employee,and also he doesn't want A Duck to attempt to speak for him.
I appreciate the sentiment. As I've tried to suggest both by the letter of my remarks and the spirit, I regret the extent to which this board has become ill-mannered, crass, and reckless over the last year or two in particular: too many posters who wear ignorance on one sleeve and arrogance on the other. This is not to say everything I write is on the mark--sometimes I think in retrospect that what I said was a bit foolish--but I've always tried to write (except in response to inanely extreme cases) civilly with respect to the views of others.

Seriously? Have I really been getting trolled that badly for that long?
Seriously. You think that mentally disturbed people don't have internet access?
From the horses mouth, Alberto said he doesn't know A Duck, and doesn't want him speaking for him. BUSTED!
A Duck roasted himself. Tastes like chicken to me.
Of course, A Duck will claim that I'm lying.

Ahahahahaha.
If I remember correctly, didn't A Duck pretty much insinuate that he knew Salazar and had lunch/dinner with him or something?
I think it's pretty clear that A Duck is someone with some mental issues.
Amazing thread!
This thread is why hate (or is it like?) this forum.
First, both A Duck and Malmo can be very useful posters. However, both have a magnificent ability to be less than proficient at the art of decorum.
I've got nothing for or against either one (well, actually I still have a bit of a thing against Malmo because he wouldn't clear up some information about his time in Eugene for a student who was doing research--not drug-related-- on Athletics West. Oh yeah, he also wouldn't play 4th of July this year. I guess that's just me being petty, eh?).
Okay, I should say something nice about Malmo.
1. He hasn't directly said anything bad about Jeff Wells.
2. He has provided some nice music links.
It does seem that ultimately both would like to see a prospering and cheat-free sport. Applaud them for that.
Both also want a better LR forum. Applaud them for that.
I will say one thing about A Duck. His insider information about things Oregon/Nike usually check out. I've got some decent sources (different from his) that typical verify his stuff before it becomes public.
As for outing him, A Duck has, as pointed out by various posters, given a ton of clues about his identity. It's really not that hard to figure out. But it wouldn't be right to spoil your little Sherlock games.
I'm somewhat new to LRC, but I've seen that A Duck is opinionated and sometimes abrasive.
I did read some interviews and websites and such on Bence (some of which might have been deleted from this thread?) and I thought they were very interesting. Mr. Bence seems thoughtful and interesting, and has nice things to say about Pre and others, etc. Just seems like a good person with an interesting past.
So I don't know about the Bence = A Duck thing. A Duck seems more testy and feisty, but who knows. Maybe that's just A Duck's "internet persona" and he's cool in real life, if it's in fact Bence.

This is what I've been waiting for. Thanks malmo, and thanks Alberto.
It's a pity we had to turn up the heat so much until things were sorted out.
Anyway, I'll buy Nike shoes again.

GM : "Hello Alberto. Do you know who 'A Duck' is?"
AS : "What?"
GM : "Is 'A Duck' a Nike Employee?"
AS : "huh?"
GM : "Would you like A Duck to attempt to speak for you"
AS : "No"
seems plausible

It is, of course, possible that A Duck has been flat-out lying about his background.
It is also possible, however, that A Duck has been telling the truth about himself - 2nd tier guy on the Oregon track team who overlapped with Salazar, has stayed in touch with Salazar over the years - but that Salazar has no idea this guy he knows a little bit posts on this message board as "A Duck".
The premise of this thread is ridiculous, isn't helping anyone, and it just needs to die.
