The pre-moderated responses on this thread have been ridiculous, even for Letsrun standards. We don't take sexual harassment allegations seriously in this echo chamber of a forum?
She continues to be obsessively vindictive about the fact that he rebuffed her advances, and eventually kicked her and her husband off the team for those reasons.
If it had been the way she reports then they would have immediately left the team, not waited until he kicked them off. She's been po'd about it ever since and can't let it go.
The founders have long had a hatred of Salazar's success, which is why they keep removing the truth and trying to cover it up.
Listen, this might all be true, but how do you know it? What proof do you have to say this?
Kara Goucher seemed to hate Salazar. Success breeds enmity. All she had was a silver medal at Worlds in an insanely weak 10k - her PR is only 30:55 lol

Yes, that’s why SS banned him coz he couldn’t get Goucher high enough.
under the gun, I'd say I believe her. Still, it's nowhere near a certainty and without other accusers or some journals, texts, emails, etc. to back this up from that time frame, it is tough to justify a lifetime ban, imo. Anybody could say this about anyone.
Again, I honestly do believe her, but there is certainly room for reasonable doubt here.
I also find it interesting that Alberto hasn't publicly defended himself.
i think safesport is good, but probably wields a bit too much power in the end.
She made them if you watch the interview. She said he "personally massaged" her more than once and she "felt his finger going where it shouldn't be going."
I’m inclined to believe her about the finger’s path but am not sure that is the complete truth.

Typical male response. Demanding more details until they are self-satisfied.
The fact that the allegations are covered in a published book and backed up in a televised media tour (and probably more coverage to come) tells me that there is truth here. No publisher is going to put such a volume out without very thorough vetting and fact checking. If these allegations and statements are lies, then Salazar's lawyers will have multiple lawsuits filed by this time tomorrow morning.
