Tell me, why do supporters of the Roches tend to respond by accusing others of being MAGA (which is getting old and boring) rather than giving a positive example of the Roches? I don't think I've read one example demonstrating why they are good coaches or great people. Maybe they just aren't on LetsRun, or it's just the same few people coming on here to say stuff like this.

Really? Your post is clearly insincere and deflecting if you've been around. Old and boring is making up sh-t about the Roches. You don't need positive examples of them being good coaches, their track record speaks for itself. They seem like great people to a lot of folks but how is someone supposed to prove that.

But I'll go through it in case someone new stumbles on this thread. Or better yet, Rojo or Wejo happen to read this post and realize the thread should be deleted.

Just off the top of my head here's what has been said on this thread or the other long one that I recall. David is gay. David DNFs anytime he won't win. David lies about being injured. David and Megan falsify their Strava workouts. David wasn't seriously injured when he was hit by a truck when he was cycling. David lied about the extent of the cycling accident injuries. David is lying about have landed 100 feet from the impact despite it being downhill off an embankment and described in the police report. David and Megan are responsible for Spring Energy not having as much carbs in their Awesome Sauce gel as labeled. David lied about being on the football team at Columbia. All of David's athletes get injured or perform badly. David said he could run a sub-4 mile (and not that he hoped to have sub-4 fitness).

All of these are provably untrue.

On the other hand, the MAGA thing has come up a few times and not once has been denied by the 2-3 losers who slurp David's content but then say they hate him and have kept this thread going for 95 pages now. They know who and what they are. As do you apparently.

The police report could have said David was launched 100ft while being incorrect. Plug the accident's physics into your AI chat bot of choice; the numbers don't make sense. He could acknowledge that, but instead repeats the story like fact. And it just correlates with other stuff being... weird, off.

I too don't like this thread's speculation on his sexuality. Nor the bashing of every little thing he does. But I also think there's a lot of reasonable criticism here of his medical advice, supplement salesmanship, training techniques, etc.

Personally, I'm posting because I see a well-off person peddling fringe theories and building a cult of personality to make money.

Good list to start for newbies - also factor is his pee bucket usage, dog affliction, Zwift weight issues, varying products he shills, he’s proclamation to shock the world at WS, word class cyclist ambitions, expert opinion from reading abstracts (using his Bachelor of Arts degree), and on and on. there are so many areas he’s greased on it is hard to keep straight, which may be why it seems he stretches at times, but glad you started a list. of course, do rephrase each of these into oddly specific absolutes that will be easy to prove false.
