Lopez Lomong on Salazar Screaming

It is probably because everything other than working hard has been handed to him. How many runners get to live in an altitude house - do a morning run at 10,000 feet and then step out to do an afternoon speed session at sea level? How many runners have a underwater treadmill in their backyard? There are so many talented runners just trying to get by with a small stipend, or no monetary help at all and then there is Salazar's group who have everything and more. Rupp does work hard, but I think at some point HE will be the one who needs to grow up. Life after running will not be so easily handed to him.

whoa..whoa... The guys the poster was specifically talking about (the ones he claims are jealous of Rupp) are Nike guys too. Everyone can sleep at altitude, run at altitude, or on an Alter-G., etc. Salazar's group might get a little more $, but Schumacher's guys have the same resources/equipments/gadgets if they want them. Schumacher is much more secretive about what he uses and what he doesn't. Salazar is more open. For instance, Salazar always talks about the sleeping at altitude technology advantage they have. Schumacher and his guys are much more tight lipped about this. do they use the altitude houses/tents? I've never heard them comment. Solinsky was coy when asked about it. But i know for a FACT that Shalane does, only because I know people that know her Dad, and he "let it slip" (only putting that way, because again, I think Schumacher wants to pretend that his system is 100% blue collar/old school training, when in reality....who knows. They might be doing a lot of the stuff salazar is doing).

So Rupp has no advantage or Schumacher's guys. They can get what they want, use the same things. They are just as "pampered" as you seem to think Rupp is.

correction for clarification- (in CAPS)

You guys like to obsess about TUE and thyroid meds so much...think about this. In her second round of battling cancer, Gabe had to have her thyroid removed (read the article that the Brojos linked to). Which means that she has to be on thyroid meds for the rest of her life. Now I have no idea if in that type of use she could currently experience any benefit, but there it is.

Why didn't Lomong just deck him?

A coach is as much as a reflection of the athletes they are coaching the same as the athletes are a reflection of their coach.

I am waiting for Rupp to finally break out of his shell and blow up like Salazar does.

I almost said hi to Alberto when I saw him in the PDX airport Monday morning after he got off a flight.

He speaks English fine, it's called an accent.

Believe it or not, one's ability to speak American English isn't a great measure of one's intelligence.

It is when he has been here for over a decade! Plenty of time to learn- and it's way more than an accent. More like pidgin speech.

And graduating from a clown college like Northern Arizona is a great measure of intelligence- it shows your a moran who can't go anywhere better.

Yikes.

A moran?!! You are funny! Who is the MORAN?

You musta goed to a suppa klown kollege, #on fan. Where kollege you go at?

First of all, moran? Really?Second of all, my grandfather has been in the US for over 50 years and still has a strong accent. It's not something that leaves you unless you really really focus on it.I'm guessing Lomong has better things to worry about.

You're sexy af for that one, Rupp has a big sack that's why he's so fast, can't believe you think Alberto is the reason. It's dbags like you who rely on social media to believe what you hear. Try being an assistant agent to Drew Suade, PAC-12 Runner of the Year 2012. I get so wmotionally overwhelmed when you piss on the NOP, then you want to go cry to your corporation saying oh Do me Farah, Do me because you're fast, get a life.

Wait ... what?

Where do I sign up to be "an assistant agent to Drew Suade, PAC-12 Runner of the Year 2012"?

Which corporation are you talking about? I don't have one.

Yipes, "it shows your a moran", hahahahaha, this from someone who doesn't know when to use 'your' or 'you're", hilarious.

Oh wait...I always wonder if after that 10k where he was pushing the pace in the latter miles andhe helped solinski get the record cured hom of that.That said I would like to see him hammer one just to see how goes

What other runners do not like about Rupp is that Rupp refuses to do any leading work during a race. Rupp sits behind the other runners and 'uses' them (drafts) so that Rupp can run a second or two faster than they do.

Oops sorry for typos I'm on a stationary elliptical

Someone needs to beat Alberta's sorry ass and DQ her entire team!

Lopez lomong should've shown down the hammer and called Salazar a doosh I actually like rupp but lopez did not touch him; put Nike needs to fire Salazar

The Company's position is that Lomong and Bumbalough interfered with Rupp's aura.

Aura interference is a disqualifiable offense, according to Company legal counsel.

Company athlete Rupp must be granted a discernable space bubble when he is performing as an agent for the Company.

Lomong was guilty of Rupp-certified Space Bubble-infringement.

LOL Sorry I might be chiming in late but from "Rupp-Certified Course" to "Rupp-Certified Racing Bubble Contact Zone" DAHAHAHA. From the Whitest Ninja y'know to this. Kid is too much.
