Starting to feel like justified paranoia. This story makes Salazar’s story seem more legitimate.
LRC note: here is the story the OP is referencing
A few points to clarify. 1) LetsRun did not hire the private eye or pay for the story. 2) We knew whoever hired the private eye that issued the report turned it over to Athletics Integrity Unit and the AIU is looking into the report
Or, Salazar was misleading all along to cover up the doping violation.
How many track coaches do you know carrying around testosterone cream and syringes?

I know, right? Sleazy was entirely justified in mailing the dope to rupp in hollowed out books - can never be too careful.
I think it was proven it was antibiotics but don’t let facts get in the way.
It’s weird guys like you who post this same crap every time that probably hired the investigator in the first place.

Well said…the “infatuation” with Salazar is just insane. The amount of money and energy spent trying to take him down over the last few years is just mind boggling.
Follwing Salazar and Rupp around and sourcing their SS#'s, very creepy -- this is obsessive compulsive f*ckery of the highest order. Whoever hired the investigator, take a look in the mirror. What are you doing with your life?
OK, is this the official “Let’s Run Message Board” for those of us too cheap to join the Supporters Club?
If so, could an SC member give us a synopsis of the article? The teaser would indicate that the “private investigator” in question was working with a toolbox missing a hammer and a screw driver.
Social security numbers? Vehicle registrations? Property records? And a photo of Rupp at Home Depot? How in the world would any of these documents say anything about Salad Czar coaching Rupp?
Unless this very private investigator had access to phone records, text messages, Venmo records, What’s App (“end-to-end encryption…”), etc. it sounds to me like the “member of the professional running community” who funded this witch hunt was had.
I am in no way defending either Salazar or Rupp here, but this “investigation” had better turn up much more solid information than was described in order to be at all credible. Of course, unless the conclusion at the end of the 31-page “report” was: “No indication of Salazar coaching Rupp….”

Lol…… Of course. I know when I’m sick and need antibiotics I don’t waste my time going to the doctor and getting a legit script. I’ll phone an old coach and ask him to hollow out a book and mail the medicine directly to me.
I mean…. Doesn’t everyone just have plain ready to ship penicillin in their house?
If even 10% of the Salazar stories are true, he should be banned for life. The big earred asthmatic thyroid deficient doofus too.
Certainly the psychopath that hired the private investigator is lurking on this board. What a nut job. Probably someone affiliated with BTC, as LR suggest it’s from someone on the professional running community. The vitriol and absolute insanity pointed toward Salazar and NOP is mind boggling. Meanwhile the BTC just goes about their way taking nandrolone and stirring up rumors about other teams.

Not disagreeing. Wanted to add, the way this website is trying to make a buck off of this also feels pretty sleazy.

Did Let’s Run buy the story? Curious how they got this. They had to have bought it, to put it behind a paywall right?

Would not think so, I'd assume they can put whatever they please behind a pay wall, but what do I know. The way things are unfolding does make it look like they're involved in some manner, haven't seen the story in other places. Dunno whether they actually forked out money over it (doubt it).

I agree. And then we have an actual runner who tested positive for a banned substance and is currently on a 4 year ban, and the owners of this site are pushing a conspiracy theory narrative that it was all a big misunderstanding and she's innocent.
The obsession with Salazar and Rupp is beyond weird.
I mean in defense of ROJO he did say he thinks the private detective showed zero proof of any wrongdoing on Rupp and Salazars end. He also essentially said this felt like an overreach of privacy.
That being said, whoever hired this private detective is clearly a nut job with nothing better to do on their hands.
The real travesty here is that LetsRun published this. They had a choice. Given there is no evidence of any wrongdoing, it was not in the public interest. If I was Rupp/Salazar, I’d be lawyering up. Yet again another disgraceful moment in the history of this site.

Not just published it, but behind their paywall. Trying to monetize this is wrong.

There was only one nut job in the Salazar story and I'm pretty sure she hates LRC.
Eliud hired the PI cause he’s afraid of Galen
