LetsRun.com's own Rojo.

Can anyone confirm this? I thought it sounded like rojo. That question was completely inappropriate.

I'm a skeptic about pro athletics and drugs, but dude, it's a face mask for allergies. Relax.

Are you really sure that is why the face mask is used?
You must have flunked chemistry.

Haha that'd be funny if Nike designed the face mask to convert oxygen into epo or something

The question was more or less harmless. The article on the whole said very little about the NOP. Deadspin/Jon Gugala/Sarah Barker seem to be on the anti-Alberto war path, and it's getting a little old. To think that anyone could comment with any credibility on someone they once worked with for months nearly ten years ago is laughable.

I was the one that asked the question. I was very proud of the question, thought it was hangled professionally and answered very professionally by Rupp.
I was doing my job, he was doing his.
A couple of fellow journalists actually came up to me to congratulate me on asking the question. To be honest, if we aren't going to ask questions like that, there is no reason to come to the meets, as it's quicker, easier and way less expensive to cover them via tv.
My only problem with interview is something I was told yesterday by another journalist. He claimed that as I was asking the question to Rupp, that Ricky Simms, Rupp's agent who was standing to his side, quietly said to Rupp something along the lines of, "You didn't see it, you didn't see it."
If you listen to flotrack's version of the interview http://www.flotrack.org/coverage/251568-Prefontaine-Classic-2014/video/746430-Galen-Rupp-new-American-10K-Record-holder#.U4pLg5RdUmU, you can hear Simms saying something to Rupp so I have little reason to doubt the account of this journalist, who was standing very close to Simms, is true.
So that brings into question whether Rupp actually hadn't seen it or if that was just how they wanted to handle it. Logically, for me, I think that's simply the way they wanted to handle it. How would Simms would know whether or not if Rupp had read something on the Internet?

The question was not only inappropriate, it was dishonest. Listen to Rojo's question...after reading Gambetta's interview. Rojo dishonestly implied that Gambetta had said that the mask was "cheating". Now, shame on Rojo, he doubles up by making it a big deal that someone prompted Rupp's reply. Watch the interview--no delay in Rupp's response, which by the way was a great response to a stupid and more importantly "dishonest" question. What kind of person would be proud of a dishonest question? Look into the mirror, Rojo.

Seems to me that the guy is pushing Rupp to clarify rather than telling him how to answer.
Here is what is amazing about the question: IT WAS ASKED. An high profile runner was asked to comment regarding performance enhancement. Nice job.
