Please link to a source that establishes exactly when Alberto gave her this bottle.
You can read Alberto's mind?
Salazar posts some e-mails that only someone already convinced of Alberto's rectitude would view of evidence of Alberto not encouraging her to lose weight during her 2011 Boston Marathon build-up.
Her nutritionist even said on March 25 of that year: "The plan is to work off [ ] every month. I believe based on how things are going, she will have another [ ] by Boston that will naturally come off." (The [ ]s represent redacted numbers.)
Salazar responds with "I don't want her shooting for something she can't hit." That's not the same as insisting that he's happy with her weight. I have overweight friends trying to slim down and I wouldn't want them being unrealistic about the pace at which they can do it. And this is the full extent of Salazar's supposed acceptance of Kara's size at the time.
At the very end of the exchange with the nutritionist he even adds, "she was [ ] the week before at Nike so she's plateaued a little." Why would a coach who was okay with her weight say such a thing? Hell, in his own bullet point in his "open letter" he states that "I fully supported Kara’s efforts and did not want her to lose weight more quickly (emphasis mine)"
The idea that Kara's weight was unquestionably a dead issue for Salazar at the time resides only in the heads of people who cannot or refuse to read Salazar's own words.

Speculating that it was unlikely that an athlete who'd been feeling shitty could rebound fast enough to run as well as Rupp did in Belgium is not lying. At worst, it's being wrong.
In what way?
You should know by now how this works. When you make a factual claim that is in dispute, you make at least a token effort to support it with evidence.
So, you yourself are a liar, or ignorant in the extreme, or both.
