Nowhere here does Magness accuse Salazar of using testosterone. He implies it, but doesn't come out and say it because he doesn't know. Whether it was testosterone or a supplement has been discussed to death, so I'm not going to discuss it again. My main point here is that Magness does not claim that Salazar used testosterone on Rupp.

Magness misses the mark big time with this. No one...absolutely no one who is thinking clearly would think Rupp would list an illegal substance on his form with a dr. Salazar works with. This is beyond ridiculous, and so obvious that it's not a banned substance. Rupp/Salazars reason matches what makes sense to anyone thinking rationally and not trying to nail the NOP. That Magness would even bring this up is a bit dumbfounding as he's an intelligent guy. There are numerous issues with the logic here, and everyone of them is in support of Rupp.
Magness should be careful what he says, he's just going to draw out more wrath if he continues to try and downplay his being let go trying to make Salazar look like a liar. After Salazars first response, there's about a 100% chance Salazar has emails documenting his displeasure with Magness to others internally well before the "mutual agreement." (I'm not arguing whether his problems were legit or not), but Magness is getting into a firefight he can't win and will just embarass himself further if he continues.
