So, and the significance is?
I once shared a significant intimate moment with Alberto when he was in Australia, he came over in the late eighties/early nineties to check out the Australian Institute of Sport. I ran with him for a short time and we stopped for a piss together in the Stromlo Forest. I'm not sure what the significance of that is but he's definitely coming across as shady. Time will tell I guess.

I should be able to but I'm a bit thick so I can't, you seem like a fairly confident sort of fella perhaps you can do it for me.

I know enough to know that Alberto, Galen, and the entire NOP are clean. Alberto's statement certainly backs that up.
"The truth will set you free."
I think people are now trolling the 1981 handle.

I don't think I've ever had a drink with John in Ithaca. Maybe once. He did meet his ex-wife on LetsRun and we wrote a story on them so there is a chance I had a drink with him then, but I don't remember doing it.

I think it was the summer of 2008 that John first told me his story. His story has never changed. I encouraged him to go on the record and/or report it to the authorities. I told him while suspicious it wasn't proof of anything on its own.
You're in your 50s? Backing someone who has plenty of allegations on him and his group? Who hasn't responded very well? Who isn't giving anything detailed or convincing? I'm not jealous of you whatsoever. I do want to thank YOU for showing ME what it really means to be a graduate of Oregon.
Did you even read Wejo's post?

Your argument about Alberto is based on his contribution to the sport of running. You cite the "power of prayer," as Alberto's great comfort, and the insecurity of an investigative journalist (who helped bring down A-Rod and Lance Armstrong) alongside everyone else in the media who has defamed Alberto as motivation for such behavior.
Either you're a troll, or your cerebrum recently suffered severe damage; God is dead, and in a month's time, Alberto will be out of a job.
Interesting. On a related note, when did you first hear about the Magness photo of the "prednisone and testosterone medication" page in Rupp's file? I ask because I think it speaks to how likely It is that Mo knew about that photo prior to The broadcast of the BBC documentary and the publication of the Epstein article. I.e. If you knew about the photo long before the broadcast, Mo probably did too. If not, then unclear.

Do you know what blood spinning is? It is completely different from blood doping. Wall Street Journal article on blood spinning to help deal with injuries.

A Promising Treatment for Athletes, in Blood
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/17/sports/17blood.html?_r=1&This could be a method to stimulate wound healing in areas that are not well-vascularized, like ligaments and tendons, said Dr. Gerjo van Osch, a researcher in the department of orthopedics at Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands. I call it a GROWTH-FACTOR COCKTAIL thats how I explain it.
Doping Implications of Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy Remain Unclear
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/17/sports/17bloodside.html?ref=sportsGuidelines published by the United States Anti-Doping Agency and the World Anti-Doping Agency do not address PRP therapy by name. The Usada rules imply that the injection of ones own blood could constitute a form of blood doping, even though the injected platelets are not put into the bloodstream. WADA rules more specifically prohibit the use of a growth factor called IGF-1, a component of platelet-rich plasma, but a spokesman for that agency declined to clarify whether PRP therapy inherently violated that rule.

Do you think it's a coincidence that those accusing him of these made-up allegations are all disgruntled former Nike employees? Naturally, they had nothing but positive things to say when they were getting better paid by Nike. When they got dropped, they decided to make up these gross allegations. Shame on them.
Lance Armstrong was ratted out by disgruntled former teammates.
For the record, Galen's parents stand by Alberto, and that ought to count for something as well. Do you really think they would have let him give their son steroids? Of course not.
Armstrong says something similar at 18:09 in this video:

Is Tegenkamp Blood Doping?
http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?board=1&thread=2863591&id=2864607#2864607
Ok, can we clarify a few things
- "Blood doping" is the practice of increasing RBC content of the blood, in order to increase the blood's oxygen carrying capacity
- The "rich platelet" therapy that Teg said he took does not increase RBC content of anything
- So it is not blood doping. For convenience we might call this therapy "blood spinning"
- The stated goal of the therapy is to speed healing (recovery, if you like) in the area where the platelets are injected
- We are not sure if it actually works. Maybe
- We are not sure if there could be any systemic healing effect outside of the local injection area. Maybe
- It does not appear to involve adding performance enhancing substances to the blood. Certainly it creates an opportunity for those so inclined.
- Regardless, faster healing does not directly improve fitness. Faster healing allows more training per unit time
- Meaning he still has to train in order to gain better fitness and achieve better race performances
- For these reasons the practice is not blood doping, nor is it very similar to blood doping
- Right now it is a legal practice

I remember reading and article in the Boulder Daily Camera when Kara Goucher was a senior at UC (just before or after she won the NCAA XC). In the article, there was a reference to a procedure she underwent to overcome iron deficiency (if I recall correctly). The essence of the procedure sounds a lot like this platelet therapy. I remember thinking to myself (with my non-scientific brain), "That sounds a lot like blood doping."
It seemed too coincidental that she had this blood therapy and then kicked some ass.
Can anybody come up with that article?
Okay everyone, I registered this username so you know it's me. Not a troll, but some have posted as me so I felt the need to register a username. And no, I don't know A Duck.
I wouldn't expect you outsiders to understand the power of Oregon, the power of Historic Hayward Field, the birthplace of Nike, the home of more great runners than any other university, Pre's rock, etc. But I do -- and I have firsthand experience with all of these phenomena. And I can tell you that Alberto cares deeply about the mystique of it all -- so much so that he would never, under any circumstances, do anything that might hurt Oregon's sterling reputation when it comes to clean sport and playing by the rules.
Alberto is a God-fearing man and frankly, I think that should be enough.
If you doubt Alberto, shame on you.

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.
I love Alberto. He's my type of guy.
Runners on Thyroid meds other than Rupp:
Salazar: Kara Goucher, Adam Goucher, Amy Yoder Begley, and supposedly at least two others.
Shumacher: Shalane Flanagan.

And you add in that Magness is coach to Sara Hall wife of Ryan Hall who is also on thyroid meds (as was Bob Kennedy interestingly):
http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323550604578412913149043072
But among those who have publicly acknowledged being treated for thyroid problems by Brown or unnamed other physicians are American runners Ryan Hall, Galen Rupp, Amy Yoder Begley, Bob Kennedy and Patrick Smyth.

Don't see how PRP could help with anemia. I believe a lot of the controversy that surrounds it relates to its being used in conjunction with HGH in some cases. See
