Sounds like the Gouchers like the spotlight and will do anything to remain there.
Why is this a surprise to anyone?
Adam had a tough love story growing up, Kara has daddy issues.
With all the \"I love you exchanges\" would anyone be surprised if Kara cheated on Adam with Alberto?
Alberto Salazar - Past Cheater/Coaching Cheat
NOP et al. - Cheating
Steve Magness - Texas Dawg, Not as smart as he likes to portray himself
Kara Goucher - Daddy Issues
Adam Goucher - Misc Mental Issues
PP/BBC Journalist - Needs viewership, picked a Mo scab and struck a geyser of blood
Everyone involved is fabricating the truths of being guilty of something.
Kara was FAT. Adam was being an overprotective douche and bringing his own downfalls into the relationship between Alberto and Kara. Kara probably cheated on Adam (why wouldn\'t she?). Magness was being a dog and Magness likes to think he\'s a bigger deal than he actually is.
Rupp still looks like a munchkin elf.
They're pissed off that both of their careers went on a downward spiral and they're blaming it on Alberto. Kara never takes responsibility for anything, whether it be injuries, bad performances etc. It's always "Oh my massage therapist screwed up, actually I was doing too many interviews and wasn't focused, no actually I was just over trained, no wait my coach was pressuring me to take drugs!". Look up her interview with flotrack at the 2012 Olympic marathon trials. She was going on and on about how "it was so hard to leave Alberto he was like a father to me but we're still good friends etc.."....and we're supposed to believe that this was after he was pressuring her to take drugs which would be dangerous to her long term health??? Gimme a fuc*** break! She already lied in the interview about the real reasons she left Alberto. There is no way she would have concealed everything she claims for so long and hold Alberto in such regard during interviews if it was all completely true.

+1
Old runners should just leave. She and Adam still crave attention.
She ruined her own career post Salazar while Alberto's career is still doing well. Going after Rupp is where they both crosses the line. Shows she has pscho problems.
Adam is a joke wrote:
he's a spoiled brat who couldn't handle losing and needed someone to blame. In 2008, Adam Goucher suffered a number of injuries and his performance was off. Adam had run the 32nd fastest 10,000m time that year and had missed the cut for the Olympic Trials for that event. Adam petitioned the USATF, which granted him an exception that allowed him to compete as the 25th runner in the field. I coached Adam for the Trials and we were hopeful he would qualify for Beijing. He didn’t. In the warm-up area after that race, Adam became extremely emotional and belligerent toward me and the race plan we had developed together. My relationship with Adam never recovered.
I continued to coach Kara, however, and she continued to be successful. My relationship with Adam remained strained, but, Kara and I were able to overcome it. Adam also played a bigger role in her training, travel arrangements and other matters. He continually complained. Finally, things came to a head in Daegu when Adam went on an insulting rant. That was the last straw.
After Daegu, I emailed Adam about his behavior. I told him that I did not want him involved in Kara’s workouts any longer and if that was not acceptable to Kara I would find a new coach for her. Kara was copied on this email and I also forwarded it to Magness and others in the Oregon Project.
Kara responded shortly thereafter defending Adam and copied in Darren Treasure of the Oregon Project. I responded that Kara had to decide if she wanted me to coach her or not. I told her: I will not coach you if Adam continues with his actions and feelings. I care too much about you to go forward with a bound to fail proposition. Going forward, I’m no longer going to be handling any of your travel, hotels, etc. Adam…can set it up.
Kara then responded: Alberto, I love you and love being coached by you. But if you don’t want to coach me anymore, please tell me now. I cannot go through another year by myself like this past year. If you don’t want to coach me, please tell me now so that I can figure out what I am going to do. I can’t stress enough how much I love you coaching me, but I can’t handle these types of threats leading into an Olympic year.
To suggest I was threatening Kara is absurd. I just didn’t want to fail her because her husband didn’t agree with my approach. In the end, I could not coach her if Adam was involved.
When I returned from Brussels, Kara and I met and agreed it was best that we part ways and she find another coach. After our meeting we exchanged additional emails and parted friends. See Exhibit 25. I told her I still loved her. She wrote back that while we disagree on some things, we both agree that we care a lot for one another and hope that never changes. She wrote: “I have loved you for years now and don’t see that changing.” See Exhibit 25.
Apparently Kara and Alberto “loved” each other. No wonder Alberto’s relationship with Adam was strained.
