The full USADA report on Alberto Salazar has been leaked - Here it is

If all that there's actually some proof of (and I use that loosely) is the 50mL rule... this feels like getting Capone on tax evasion... technically illegal but not really the point.

other than the excessive infusion, is there any violation?

not that i see.

l-carnitine and vitamin d are like water: they are legal. taking more doesn't make you a doper. in fact, athletes have special fluid mixes to enhance performance. why not take more l-carnitine if you think it will help you? it's a legal substance, like kale.

why not try to increase levels of testosterone through legal means. you'd be a fool not to.

I wonder if the use of supplements isn't ultimately overrated. The body is pretty good at self regulating.

No they don't. You are making that up.

Not Carnitine, Kale, or Fluid Drink The DELIVERY METHOD and amount >than established(45nm/ol) of Carnitine.

The punishment of excess delivered Carnitine is what??

The method and amount they used L-Carnitine was prohibited.

Giving someone prescription strength supplements, when you are not a Dr, is illegal

Lol. Expert. Not.

Agreed. With the added caveat that:

WHERE ARE THE WITNESSES?

If there really was systematic serious (EPO, Test, HGH, etc.) doping by NOP, surely the handful of turncoats would be crowing about it.

Instead we just hear about thyroid meds, salazar's personal test gel, and L-carnitine injections.

USADA may win this battle but they have lost the war, as people are getting away with far worse under their noses.

A couple hundred pages of innuendo

A chickensh*t performance by USADA

You forgot about Salazar's use of testosterone...

-On himself AS a competing athlete

-On his sons

-potentially on other athletes during massages

-He has 2 prescriptions from two different doctors, and also had extra Testosterone carried to him by the Begleys.

Harambe (he died for our sins) speaks the truth.

i agree that it's frustrating there is no concrete evidence or "smoking gun" as Ken Goe put it. However, the L Carnitine infusions are really suspect here. Additionally, the amount of prescription drugs and fake diagnosis in the report is enough, i think for the court of public opinion. No one can watch Galen run another race and assume he did things the right way. Most people will be highly suspicious of him from now on. I think it would be best for other project runners such as Hasay and Rowbury to cut ties.

Here is a plain text transcript of the entire report:

Hope that helps everyone. I have a few of my own thoughts about this which I plan on publishing soon.

Thanks boss, the lawyers will thank you for publishing stolen works.

Did you convert that w a fully licensed copy of Adobes software?

You are the one making things up. Read about "Athlete Support Personnel" in the WADA Code. Dr Brown is considered as an "Athlete Support Personnel".

Let me get that for you:

Well, you could admire Al Sal for trying to do everything possible for his athletes.

Or you can say it "looks" bad.

I'm inclined to require the legal test be met. Public opinion is so warped by bias, ignorance, and emotion that it's verdict is not credible.

How would you know if it was converted or not?

Po$$ible. It is all about making money. There is no such thing as "good intentions" when fame and fortune can be "won."

a few pages back, benevolent dictator wrote:

2) Why did Alberto - who possesses Androgel and knows how much can trigger a positive test - give Rupp massages before races when the team had its own massage therapist?

that makes no sense to me.

a microdose of pre-race testosterone is not going to allow someone to run faster. and if the gel had any meaningful potency, i've got to believe it would show up in a post-race piss test.

the reason for a runner to use testosterone during training is to promote faster recovery after workouts, which allows for more and longer and faster workouts, which leads to improved performance.

testosterone isn't rocket fuel taken on race day for extra speed.

perhaps i'm wrong about that. if so, cite the literature, pls.

1) you're speculating irresponsibly.

2) Salazar had/has test cream so he can have a libido w his wife. He "admitted" that which could be pretty embarrassing.

3) With so many of his athletes being interviewed; and his club being Nike sponsored -- there'd be a law suit fortune to be had if one outed them for real PEDS. Clearly the Gouchos and Magness have enough bad blood to do so if there was such.

Thanks for making my point for me.

Court of public opinion isn't really what I'm concerned with. Are we going to see a big USA distance running drug bust or not?

If we do, it doesn't seem to be from NOP.

There certainly seems to be an objective to the writing, doesn't there?

Agreed. With all the strong evidence they have, why muddy it with irrelevant, misleading and/or out-of-context statements, like this one:

"Tara Erdman recalled that Salazar demanded that the runners be secretive about their training regimen and forbade them from posting what times they were running on social media."

This is what half the report is. Statements that either everyone else already heard in the reports from the past 2 years, stuff that other professional track club do, or stuff that has nothing to do with doping, but they word it in a way that makes NOP look bad. The writing is annoyingly overly-objective to the point where its hard to actually entertain the factual information they have in there.

long heritage,

for clarification, the "you" who is "speculating irresponsibly" is wejo or rojo or whichever jo the benevolent dictator is.

your point is largely the same one that i made.
