    Look at the number of athletes Salazar has coached, HS, college, and post-collegiate, who amazingly are diagnosed with asthma or thyroid problems. It's interesting.

    The idea that someone with asthma can run sub 27 for the 10K, is just ridiculous. I know people that have asthma and they can't even go for a long walk without having problems to breath, specially when there is a change in the weather. Paula Radcliff was another runner with asthma.

    doesn't haile have asthma?

    re: not a fan of nike

    What I got from the article is that the use of thyroid medication with the use of altitude training causes your genes to express differently. This difference is an increased production of EPO. Your body naturally produces EPO, and this increases with the use of thyroid medication and altitude training. So, if this is true, Rupp is doped to the gills with his own EPO. Is it ethical? I don't know. He just pressed the right buttons, genetically. It sounds like a form of genetic cheating to me.

    only skimmed the abstract, but all it look like it was saying was that thyroid hormone increases EPO production in the same way hypoxic environments do, through the increase expression and protein of HIF-1a
