I have not read the whole thread. I read to see who was threatened but there is nothing specific on that from what I see,
As for the rest, from what I have read, I only really care about the testosterone microdosing allegations. The rest seems to be borderline stuff checked with WADA / USADA. I can't imagine getting into checking everyone's inhaler use. I would like to see specifics and now will wait for USADA.
I think it is good that Kara went to USADA but you need to be very careful and specific when going to the press. At the moment, it is Galen who just had two nationally televised stories about him being a cheat before his race aired. he may be guilty but if he is not, that has to be pretty terrible. I have been criticized for saying this before but knowing that 14,17 or 30 people talked to USADA tells me something but it does not tell me anything specific. If a lot of those people are talking about microdosing then things will look bad for Alberto et al.
Citing Lance is common here but odd to me. It became so obvious Lance was a cheat because everyone he beat was caught systematically cheating. He was better than everyone in a world full of cheaters and was even using a corrupt UCI to cover. The scale of the cheating was massive and the cyclists were at unreal levels. Rupp is the best American in one event. His coach is writing to USADA. Some of the stories give me pause (like the testosterone test on a Salazar son - odd but disclosed). so there is always that. But remember, Rupp is not near a world record, he is not that great at the 5000. we have had better 5000 runners (Solinsky, Teg, Ritz, Lagat) and guys like Jäger and Hill have the talent to be better than him. Rupp had a great race in a slower than usual Olympics without great kickers. He is more like Nick Symmonds or Solomon - great American runners who can medal in the right race,
Frankly, I hope we have guys who become better than Galen or challenge him like Solinsky could before he got hurt. I am a bigger fan of our
800 / 1500 runners and Jager. I like True and Derrick as well.
