Start Preparing Your Apology Wejo, Salazar Is About To Come Forward With His Side Of The Story

I'm glad you think that. Mostly because it means you agree with me. Salazar didn't write it down. An actual healthcare professional (the one who did the lab testing!) wrote it down. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Not a postulate, bud. And if there is zero possibility that I can climb the slope (a tenuous mathematical supposition) then there is no point to trying. Math isn't just being able to use the word "parabola" and "slope". It's also logic.

No. Not desperate. The desperation is clearly from the people twisting extremely flimsy evidence to suit their "the NOP must be doping" paradigm.

And do you expect Salazar to openly come forward he's been doping his athletes? He will ride this ship as long as he can. Deny, deny, deny. He's protecting his athletes as much as he is himself. I'm sure he is a sleazeball, but I am also sure he loves his beloved athletes and he will not turn them in.

Sounds to me like Salazar is preparing to conduct a press conference or write an article. If he offers logical explanations, Wejo, I will hold you to your word that you would apologize.

Translation. Mo and Salazar are meeting to get their stories straight.

Because that's what champions do.

So. That clearly means some type of medication that would affect testosterone. As Salazar said, Testoboost.

Except that Testoboost is not a medication. It is an (ineffective) supplement.

If Testoboost is a "medication", it is banned anyway: "Any pharmacological substance which is not addressed by any of the subsequent sections of the List and with no current approval by any governmental regulatory health authority for human therapeutic use (e.g drugs under pre-clinical or clinical development or discontinued, designer drugs, substances approved only for veterinary use) is prohibited at all times."

Can I suggest that you stop trying to help, because you aren't.

Was going to make that point myself - thank you for doing so.

The only situation where I can see Wejo and Rojo having to apologize would be if A Duck has a total psychotic break and ends up in an asylum. I know it gets joked about a lot but this could really push the poor guy over the edge. And lets be serious. It would be letsrun's fault a little bit. The guy clearly needs psychiatric help and you guys just let him keep posting away the same crazy stuff over and over.

They have it in they heads that this stuff somehow keeps conversation going and brings more people to their site. But really, in a situation like this where these guys are obviously doped to the gills and have an inexplicable edge on their competition it prevents a more productive (or at least interesting) conversation from happening. No one can say anything about the larger repercussions of the NOP's inevitable downfall or tell an anecdote about something weird Alberto did in '92 or really say anything at all without some nut bag Oregon fan jumping down their throat with some innane thing about how no one has any real proof.

So after encouraging that kind of behavior I think it would be appropriate for Rojo and Wejo to issue some kind of apology on these boards if A Duck really loses it. And it would be a nice gesture to maybe visit him in the asylum occasionally. You guys will be in Eugene anyway covering meets all the time and I'm sure he'll be nearby.

I am not A Duck, but you are A Dummy.

I am so sorry about that A Dummy comment. That was not me. Someone stole my nickname.

Does it mean testosterone? No.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, so it wasn't testosterone, it was "testosterone-boosting medication"? Well, that sounds perfectly above board.

Getting desperate, are you?

Guaranteed Salazar is itching to lash out at those who dared speak the truth, Lance-style. Maybe some implausible defenses will be put forth, too. Will those who pay his way and manage him be able to prevent him from saying something truly stupid? Get me some popcorn, this is going to be a great comedy.

Deer antlers! Deer antlers!

Funny enough, Testoboost contains Deer Antlers!

To paraphrase John Lydon:

My position is the same as Mr. Burfoot. (Most ironic runners last name ever, and a great, great guy. The opposite of most of the participants left here).

Let's see if Phil Knight treats Alberto Salazar the same as he did Henry Rono.

I just e-mailed three of my physician friends and asked them, "If a doc writes down 'testosterone medication," is he or she most likely referring to synthetic testosterone itself or to something that influences endogenous testosterone in some way?" Each of them, after asking me why I was asking a senseless question, told me what I already knew.

And what you already knew was...?

"A paraphrase is a restatement of the meaning of a text or passage using other words."

So why did you paraphrase and use the word "played"?, because the actual word Rotten (Lydon) used was "cheated" not "played".

“Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" - "Meditate on that for a few hours and your mind might be expanded.", "cheated" being the operative word.

The only one who's been played is you.

Wonder why A Duck didn't want to you the word cheated?

“Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?” asked a weary Johnny Rotten at the conclusion of the Sex Pistols‘ first (and last) U.S. tour. The show took place at the one-time hippie haven of the Winterland in San Francisco on Jan. 14, 1978 and would be the band’s final performance — at least until their 1996 reunion. By then, however, Sid Vicious was long dead."
