Galen Rupp is the greatest American distance runner of his generation. For a long time, the disgraced coach Alberto Salazar guided him. Should that matter?
The answer is NO. Galen is forever tainted and tomorrow he will NOT be in the top 7. No chance. Galen you made your deal with the devil and now you are disgraced too.

So, you’re claiming to have evidence that Galen has a taint?
Galen is tainted by association. As Weldon alludes to in the NYT article, people have every right to be skeptical. Galen was running unbelievably well under a coach who was banned for doping violations. Galen is no longer a great runner. Galen is like a 28:00 2:06 guy now which is not all that great in the super shoe era. Galen cannot compete for medals anymore.

Father Time, not his current coaching situation, is why he is no longer among the top-5 or so distance runners in the world.

It is a combination of Father Time and his doping situation, so we agree it is not his coaching situation per se.
If he wasn't so effing secretive most of the time, that would help. I laughed coffee through my nose when he refused to detail the pace of a recent 20 Miler. Remember when Coe would tell us exactly what his sessions / times were? He'd even have some filmed. Those were the days.
The fact that they spent years investigating NOP and couldn't find any dirt on Galen himself actually kind of vindicates him in my mind. Dude was examined under a microscope and they couldn't find any ban-worthy offenses.

Jama Aden's group was caught red-handed with dozens of vials loaded with EPO and HGH and nothing happened to any of them.

As for the dirt:
- he used testo medication as a teenager
- he was likely blood doping according to the IAAF
- he was flagged with a suspicious testo spike by USADA
- he most likely used a forbidden method according to USADA
What's missing is the ultimate proof so he can get banned.

What shadow?
The shadow cast by his mentor Alberto Salazar. Alberto has been deemed UNFIT to coach due to alleged DOPING and GROPING.

There’s no such thing as a 28:00/2:06 guy.
IF you were smarter you would know that there is now with the super shoes for sure. Look at a few of the Japanese also. Please be careful when making future posts.

You talk quite loud for a guy who posts anonimously.... If you were smarter you would have understood that he meant that the two times relate to different level of fitness, so to speak.... I hope you get it pal
