The question was if you had a link or a source. I think my previous assumption is safe.

Kennedy was on it
Acknowledge that!

of the many many details in this NOP/Galen story--one thing I'll never get over is how one of the finest distance runners in the world is afflicted with so many serious health ailments.
UK and US anti doping view thyroid hormone therapy as a PED and want it banned!
Fact!

If you disagree with US and UK anti doping experts who want to ban thyroid hormone therapy because it is a PED and dangerous to the health when abused, then you have not aligned yourself with medical experts.
If I agree with US and UK Anti-doping that thyroid hormone therapy is a PED and you think I am “grasping for straws”, you don’t understand what that means.

I just finished the book. Definitely a downer if you are concerned about doping in distance running. The author goes after the NOP like a Rottweiler. But sadly, I suspect much in the book is probably true. I would give 4 of 5 stars. Definitely recommended.
However, I do recommend the following changes before the book goes to paperback:
1) Page 133: "In November 1991, the Berlin Wall came down and thousands of previously confidential documents were uncovered by a German molecular biologist and professor..."
The documents may have been uncovered in 1991 but the Berlin Wall came down in November 1989.
2) Page 188: "In 1984 he (John Stiner) skipped his own college graduation to watch the US Olympic (Marathon) Trials in Buffalo, New York. He climbed a tree at the race's seventeen-mile mark and took a photo of the lead pack as they streamed past, a sweaty Cuban-American leading the effort."
Salazar was in the chase pack at 17 miles. Pete Pfitzinger had about a 100-yard lead at that point in the race.
3) Page 327: "In April, Hasay broke Kara's debut marathon record by running 2 hours 33 minutes at the Boston Marathon."
Hasay ran 2:23:00 in Boston in 2017.

Uncompelling: "not forceful, interesting, or persuasive"
Apparently you didn't get the memo, and you are not looking at all of the facts, nor at the latest facts.
In response to the question:
"members of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and U.K. Anti-Doping ask the World Anti-Doping Agency to ban synthetic thyroid medication"
WADA said no:
"The LiEG still considered that they were not performance enhancing"
"it was concluded that there were no compelling arguments to add these substances to the prohibited list"
"Wada had consulted scientific and medical experts who "were unanimous in their view" that thyroid medication did not meet the criteria needed to ban it."
"All the experts in the field came to the conclusion that no, there is no way to believe that thyroid hormone could be performance enhancing", Dr. Olivier Rabin, WADA’s Senior Director, Science
The difference is that WADA consulted scientific and medical experts.
The unanimous conclusion from all of these experts?:
"There is no way to believe that thyroid hormone could be performance enhancing."
Not "this needs more study", but "no way to believe".
"No way to believe".
Apparently even you agreed to that when you showed us that:
"Thyroxine is not on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) banned list, nevertheless as we shall discuss below, administering thyroxine to those with normal thyroid function potentially can have adverse consequences on health and performance."
"One of the differences that thyroid replacement has from other forms of sports supplementation is that there is a clear peak point – normal thyroid function."
What do athletes who use thyroid hormone think? Once again, it was you who showed us:
"Smyth, now retired, said the medication never enhanced his performance."
"Kennedy, now retired, said he never received performance benefits from hypothyroid medication."
What do athletes who don't use thyroid hormone think? You also showed us:
They "believe" and they "fear".

This article says Bob Kennedy was on thyroid hormone therapy.
Jenny Simpson was on it too.
If someone truly needs thyroid hormone therapy they need it for life. Their body simply doesn’t produce it.
Dr. Brown used an unusually high level for “normal level” for the athletes. Athletes would have been deemed healthy at any other doctor, were determined to be needing hormone therapy by Brown. Also, athletes unnecessarily depleted themselves before seeing him and were coached by Salazar on what to say in order to receive the drug.
Hormone therapy is administered with pills and injections. Many athletes have stated that Salazar used it in his athletes to raise testosterone, lower weight and recover from workouts.
This is clearly a very strong performance enhancer.
Just because WADA does not currently have the research findings to determine it a PED does not mean it does not work as a PED.
Salazar and Brown know more about its effects on distance runners than anyone in the world. They have been experimenting with it for decades. If it didn’t work, why did all the top athletes use it?
WADA said there is no current evidence to justify banning it. They never claimed it did work as a PED.
US an Uk anti doping know it is being used successfully as a PED and sought to have banned.
It’s obviously going to eventually banned.
The list of PED dopers using it keeps growing and it is getting out of hand.
Now that a second Nike group is being implicated, with Solinski and Tegenkamp joining the list of cheats.
Jenny Simpson is obviously using it and had her reputation tarnished when she was interviewed about it and totally looked guilty as hell when trying to cover it up that she uses thyroid hormone therapy.
