That wasn't my insinuation and I know it wasn't Salazar's.
My declaration is not reckless, it's founded on real world events. I say nobody at that level should be considered above suspicion. That's not to say that any given individual should automatically be scrutinized with suspicion, not at all. I also know that dopers work just as hard and as smartly as any clean athletes do. Your view is unfortunately rather archaic.
At least one of the guys I trained with may indeed have doped. There were some fishy things that turned up after he had a huge leap in performance, the media went after him for a bit but nothing illegal ever turned up in any testing procedure. I knew him to be more meticulous than anyone I had ever met regarding what he put into his body and how he approached his training. He was very exact and disciplined. I spent time with him every day for years, between training and socializing, and he was one of the nicest guys I've ever known, maybe even nicer than Salazar and Carpenter. At any rate, boring filler covered, I didn't shadow him all of his waking hours for all of his waking days. I thought I knew this guy pretty well but it made me realize that none of us can ever know anyone else well enough to know whether he would dope. Kirby Puckett, a great guy by anyone's account, treated women badly it turns out. How much did Ted Haggard's flock, or even his close associates, know about his dalliances? Do you know how many of your buddies cheat on their taxes or their spouses? I don't want to be the one to grab anyone's rose-colored glasses and stomp them to bits, but when they're put in my face like this it's tough to just walk away. Pro sports is chock-full of compromise and conflict of interest, like it or not. The most unfortunate part about it is that it bleeds down to collegians and high schoolers getting on the juice. Being in denial about any of it is a disservice to young athletes.
