Salazar to Justin Grunewald: "Get the f--- out of my face.”

Perhaps English is a foreign language to you. I could not more clearly have stated that I don't know what happened. Might Salazar have said the words attributed to him? Of course. Can I imagine a circumstance in which he would have been justified to do so--a husband who impinges upon Salazar's space, a husband who speaks to him in a derisive tone--yes I can. Can I imagine a circumstance in which Salazar would be acting unruly? Of course I can. But I have learned over time that when it comes to events being reported second and third hand, and even those being reported first hand, that interest and prejudice blinds many involved. May I suggest that you watch the original version of "12 Angry Men" as a case in point. So, what I was truly commenting on was the ease with which people assumed that Salazar was some kind of monster, and must have done everything the aggrieved husband and out to find a salacious story journalist have ascribed to him. And if one needs any evidence of the phenomenon in question, you so willingly ascribe things to me, despite knowing next to nothing about me.

If the NOP got busted for doping, you would be the first in line to say that everyone is doing it and NOP only got busted because they aren't liked. That's the level of your delusion. They can do no wrong in your pathetic world.

Interesting... page is not there anymore. To be honest, and I'm not defending Salazar's behavior at the track yesterday, the report seemed fishy. The 'conversation' in the envelope didn't make sense... call GG's husband a "nobody" before even knowing who he was?! I think someone is making up sh*t.

"During the women’s 3,000-meter final contested Saturday evening, a meet official raised a yellow flag, indicating a possible field-of-play infraction by a runner. A review of the official’s report by the Women’s Running Head Referee and subsequently by the Jury of Appeal led to a ruling of no infraction. The Jury of Appeal then reviewed additional video evidence and reversed their initial ruling, disqualifying Gabriele Grunewald for a field-of-play infraction impeding Jordan Hasay. Protests and appeals were filed by representatives of athletes during the process. In accordance with USATF Competition Rules 111 and 119, the Jury of Appeal is a three-person panel appointed by the USATF Games Committee. Protests and appeals are governed by USATF Competition Rule 146. The decisions of the Jury of Appeal are final.

You guys really eat up this national enquirer stuff. the brojos are getting rich right now. they'll really make bank when some letsrun lunatic goes all Tanya Harding on Salazar and Hassay.

This fiasco seals the fate of the remaining 1% of athlete respect for USATF. A total joke of a puppet organization.

Yes and in your deluded eyes it is the exact opposite, everything Salazar does is evil, planned and some big conspiracy. Surely his athletes dope, they cheat, he cheats, blah blah blah.

Maybe just maybe the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Truth be told I would rather have a coach that gets a bit over zealous defending his athletes rather than someone apathetic.

So what if he told the guy to f off. Maybe he had it coming, maybe salazar was being a douche, who knows, who cares.

Is this kind of like the propagation of WMDs? even after it was clearly shown they never existed a huge chunk of folks refused to believe.

Rupp has not been on any TUEs in years.

Overtraining are the reason Rupp needs special stuff

Did Salazar have another 'vision from the Lord'post 3k, honestly this guy who is supposed to be on some kind of 'mission' if you read his book just comes across as a nut job. The problem is he is protected on all sides buy $$$$.

Here it is again. LRC on it quick. http://www.letsrun.com/news/2014/02/alberto-salazar-gabe-grunewalds-husband-get-f-face/

Talk to legendary runners of the 70's and 80's, they'll all tell you Salazar was doping then, but there were no tests.

He's a cheat. He always has been a cheat.

I'm 2nd degree black belt in Judo, I'd love that punk to get in my face.

I would hurt him and play with his broken limbs while he watched.

This from the LetsRun article:Justin Grunewald admitted to us that when he was notified that his wife was disqualified, he lost his composure and lashed out at Salazar and screamed at Salazar, “She’s had cancer twice. This is bullshit. How do you sleep at night? You’ve got a defibrillator in your chest.”Amazing--it's not a simply case of Salazar being unruly. Funny that the journalist who initially reported the incident failed to mention this.

idiot tough guy of the day

Yep, that's the truth. Everyone is a d-bag in the story..

Salazar for losing is cool and manipulating the USATF and J. Gunewald for playing the "cancer" and "I'm gonna be a doctor" card. How old is that guy?

Grunewald says he immediately recognized Salazar. “I looked at him, and then he looked up, and I kept looking at him, and then he said, ‘Who the hell are you?’” Grunewald says.

The elevator stopped, and Grunewald says he said to Salazar, “If you push me hard enough, I’m going to break.”

Salazar reportedly dismissed the comment, and then Grunewald says Salazar called him a “nobody.”

“I said, ‘I’m Justin Grunewald. I’m going to be a doctor, and I have a good life,’” Grunewald says.

Both of the G's sound like J-erks.
