I haven't heard Rupp or Des call a race, I have heard Kara call multiple races and she is absolutely the WORST! Maybe Des and Rupp will be a magical combination...or a complete train wreck! Just DO NOT bring in Kara G with her obnoxious Minnesoooodah accent and spastic-hyperventilating way too over the top enthusiasm.
The Des Linden I know left Hansons because she refused to be on the same team as Ritz because of his previous connection with Alberto Salazar?
Although she does do a podcast with Kara Goucher who also had a connection Salazar so maybe Des has changed her stance?
The interesting part is both Ritz and Kara testified in court against Salazar. Galen Rupp still defends Salazar.
2023 Des. Wow.
Hmmm...

I think Kara does a good job. I appreciate her enthusiasm and she has her facts straight.
I would never have thought of Des Linden and Galen Rupp doing anything together. They both agreed to it, so they must be ready to at least pretend that they get along for a few hours.
Are you not aware that there is a lot more to the cloud around Rupp/NOP than merely “being on thyroid medication”?
What cloud is that?
A "cloud" is not a storm.
Don't speculate, bring some evidence. Better yet, how about a positive drug test.
Think about it!
The other suspicions that amount to more than just “being on thyroid medication” were literally spelled out in the chain that I responded to. Don’t be lazy just because you are a Salazar sycophant.
I cant spectulate as to anyone being clean or not. It does seem like Rupp gets a lot more scrutiny than his peers.
Why do you think that is? Rupp was targeted while in high school.
It's possible that I am misinterpreting your use of "targeted", but I'd say it is blatantly false.
Alberto was the xc coach at Central Catholic when Galen was a freshman on the soccer team. It then became obvious that Galen had some talent as a distance runner, and he joined the xc team part time. From then on he was a full time distance runner.
Alberto was the head coach for both boys and girls and coached the entire team. Certainly he gave Galen more attention than some of the other kids, but he was an outstanding hs coach to many kids.
