If allegations are true he was on testosterone as a 16 year old the statue of limitations has run out and therefore it won't strike against him....

What would Salazar's defense be? "Yes, I gave a 16-year-old drugs to improve his 'performance', but it was so along ago there is nothing anyone can do about it."

This would be an epic fail by Salazar. Salazar's only way out is to deny the allegations. Because he has denied them already the statute of limitation rules don't apply when making false statements.

Making False Statements: 18 U.S. Code § 1001 - Statements or entries generally;

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1001

"Most commonly, prosecutors use this statute to reach cover-up crimes such as perjury, false declarations, and obstruction of justice and government fraud cases."

This is all well and good, but:

1. Doping is not a crime in the U.S.

2. Lying to the press is not a crime. (see Armstrong decades of lies)

3. Sports fraud isn't a crime. (USA Cycling/Armstrong fraud. Feds walked away.)

4. Doping teenagers isn't a crime. Chris Carmichael has a thriving business based on doping kids.

5. Federations and the IOC are perfectly okay with doping. Just don't kill yourself. IAAF/Diack decried the Armstrong sanction. The cycling federations did EVERYTHING they could to stop it.

I genuinely wish it were different and USATF/IAAF were actually protecting the integrity of the sport.

1. Handing out drugs without prescription IS a crime.

2. Who said press?

3. Mailing drugs through the US mail IS a crime.

4. Doping OTHER people children IS a crime.

5. Please provide the letter from these group where the state "doping is okay."

Good Gawd! Can't Alberto find a better public relations firm than the one pop_pop! works for? Retarded people allowed to do PR work.

No you don't. Dr. Myhre was a PhD, not an MD. In this case, that's a difference that matters.

If I say you had Subway for lunch on November 10, 2003 and then I released the Subway store's security video of you walking in on the date 11/10/03, I'd say your task of proving you didn't have Subway is going to be a difficult one.

Just because Salazar said he ate lunch at Subway that day and has a receipt doesn't mean he actually ate at Subway-- Subway was a "masking" lunch and he probably actually ate at McDonalds. How crazy does that sound??
