What? Matthew Centrowitz doesn't drink alchohol and daddy centro is good friends with Alberto?

I never trust people who don't drink.

He does indeed drink. Under his cap he is holding a bottle. Rupp is next to him not hiding his beer bottle. Now, on the Centro thread NOP fans are attacking the photo and claiming Centro doesn't drink because Goe said so.

It reads like a "All you bitter losers can cry about my methods while I'm delivering winners."

We've seen this kind of propaganda from doping programs before.

I don't think there is a bottle under his hat.

There is certainly something under the hat. He is at a party where even--gasp!--Rupp is drinking.

Why is so important that Centro "doesn't" drink? He does drink, big deal.

I know for a fact centro sr and Salazar are buds. It was a big reason centro jr went to Oregon.

As far as the drinking I know he used to mainly in non competitive seasons.

I interpreted it as "he doesn't drink a lot, but he's a social drinker"

Meaning he only drinks on certain occasions

He's SO clean.... "How clean is he??" ....He's so clean he doesn't even drink!

Thanks to Goe we have a perfectly logical explanation for how 17 athletes, each telling a distinct story about Al Sal's doping, are wrong.

Therefore, NOP is clean.

Ken Goe:

Centrowitz doesn't drink, but he is social.

LOL ... no. It is clearly an attempt to make Centro look like an alter boy. Something the Centro is absolutely not. He drinks. Probably avoids it when competing but otherwise no.

Of course Matt Sr. and Salazar are buds. They were teammates on the 1977 NCAA-winning Oregon cross country team.

That picture may win the "douchuest photo on the internet" contest. Rupp looks like a 17 year old girl with that duck face.

Get it? Oregon Ducks, Rupp's duck face! lol!

So the story was only Galen was doping, the "17" who have come forward were all clean and not involved, right? There was a "wall of separation" between the "17" and AlSal/Galen.

Are you claiming that Centro's involved, but Kara Goucher and the others weren't? How do you get there?

Those other athletes left the team because they were disgusted with what they saw going on. The ones that stayed must be OK with how Al 'coaches'.

Most, if not all, of the 17 are outer-core members. They do not know everything that is going on in the inner-core. Rupp is deepest in the core, the Farah. After Centro released his 'don't drink' --he does--, 'my dad is pals with Sal' --the dad he doesn't talk to anymore-- statement I know consider him at the Farah-layer level.

You can be drinking from a bottle without drinking alcohol (not that there's a bottle in that pic). Maybe he drinks non-alcoholic beer. If he said he doesn't drink and it wasn't true, you'd immediately have lots of people who have drunk with him or seen him drinking on here to call b.s. on it.

It is public knowledge that his father is a recovered alcoholic.

It's also possible for the truth to have changed. Maybe he's recently quit or moved to Alberto's (also public knowledge "two drink limit") (tons of people have gone to that for safety and health/avoid weight gain reasons).

On the other hand he and his sister/family already have a meetup planned at winery after USA's (via Twitter) (public knowledge).

Which still means nothing, he could abstain or drink alcohol free wines which have gotten better in the past few years)

What does it matter whether Centro drinks or not? Rupp certainly does. Is it that not drinking is important to his defense strategy? I'm not buying the Centro the "alter-boy" facade.

Centro is an original gansta. Portland gangsta

Goucher was there for 7 years (said she saw Salazar like a father - yeah, definitely not part of the "inner core"?!) and Fleshman actually claims she DID act unethically and use Rx drugs beyond what she believed to be medically necessary (actually she didn't claim she did that but rather claims Salazar advised her to and she did, but then stopped - so she did in fact engage in the unethical behavior she calls out Salazar for).

Also this outer/inner core bs is just convenient, self-serving rationalization to square the circle of your illogic. Salazar and NOP are all dopers except for the people that I like.
