The HYPODERMIC! needles to administer the allergy med (drops bag of 25+ needles), the thyroid medication (shows thyroid med, along with a doctor's report showing it is mildly necessary). The androgel is mine, here is my doctor's RX (shows prescription).

As to the statements made that I suggested Kara Goucher take Cytomel, that's true. I was wrong to do that. As to the statements made that I suggest Lauren get and take the highest dose of asthma medication available to her. That is true. At the time, it seemed like she had a bad case of exercise-induced-asthma and I thought she would benefit from a stronger prescription. I was wrong. I should have left that up to her doctor. As to suggesting she see a doctor about her thyroid - based on the symptoms she described to me, I thought it was worth exploring. I don't think that was wrong.

A lot of discussion has been made about the NOP operating in a gray area. I won't agree or disagree with that. I will say that Galen Rupp is not and never has doped or cheated. Neither have any of the other athletes.

As to the most damning accusation that I applied testosterone to my son...(dramatic silence!)...that is true. I realize now how paranoid this may seem, but I've heard too many stories from the 80's that athlete A tried to sabotage athlete B...this isn't an excuse, it's just the way I rationalized using my son as a guinea pig. It was a terrible thing to do and I was wrong.

As of today I am stepping down from the Nike Oregon Project. I will seek forgiveness from my son and my family, and I will retreat into the wilderness and repent."

For the most part this will be very close to what he says.

I wonder if he will respond to sending pills hidden in books and magazines?

I'm going to bet he does not admit being wrong about his interactions with Goucher and Fleshman, but a good post overall.

"I hope that media and fans will afford me a short time to show the accusers are knowingly making false statements. I will document and present the facts as quickly as I can so that Galen and Mo can focus on doing what they love and have worked so hard to achieve.
