Convicted of what? 17 athletes have come forward but without a SINGLE LEGITIMATE DOPING CLAIM. Your bias is unbelievable, and honestly a total joke.
It honestly seems like you are hoping that they are doping just so you can say that they got caught. In your mind, you never thought for a second that they were clean, even if there isn't any legitimate evidence to say anything otherwise. What you're doing is not healthy for the sport. Accusing America's best shot at distance running of doping is not what people need, and kinda makes you look ridiculous.
The Epstein article comes out and on LRC there is a nonstop feeding frenzy of how it proves that all NOPers are dopers." Led by the BroJos highlighting everything that casts NOP/Salazar/Rupp in a negative light. Some protest that all Epstein has done is repackage a bunch of old claims, many (most, all?) which had already been considered by USADA. They are NOP fanboys. So the mob continues to run wild, every highlighted quote (was there an exception?) on the home page is some accusing or inferring something is rotten in NOPmark (even when substantial figures in T&F are making more cautious or even supportive statements on Salazar/NOP).
Salazar respond now, what's taking so long, answer every charge...the drum beat continues. Then Salazar provides a two-page response that doesn't just make claims, but provides documentary evidence and context. Epstein hurriedly (and disingenuously) responds by basically with " my sources still say", accuses Salazar of addressing claims that the great Epstein didn't raise and doesn't even make any effort to look at claims/evidence Salazar provided that called into question Epstein's reporting - and ends with a gratuitous quote of Areson accusing Salazar of handing out Rx like candy (based only on Areson's claim).
Now several days later after the mob realizes that the Epstein repackaging old old stories is really starting to smell bad, as the credibility and believability of Magness, Goucher and others is taking a severe beating RoJo is reduce to stating essentially that there never was proof and it's all really just been accusations. But there were quite a few (even if they were old and had been reported to USADA). Hey why are all you folks looking for some semblance of journalist integrity, balance in addressing complex issues and basic fairness in an innocent until proven guilty so angry/disappointed/demanding?
Magness and Goucher seem to have nothing to do but make emotional statements. And the BroJos, holding empty gas cans, are trying to spin this like they had nothing to do with the burned down building behind them.
