Hi KMB. You literally (and by literally, I mean figuratively) have no life, do you?

Who is KMB?

Im Mr I, a completely different name.

Yes, a completely different name, but that's all that's different.

Nice try, you annoying little b-tch.

KMB would never use the word 'dude'. End of story.

I might use "dude" ironically, but I would never use a double exclamation point.

Hey where's the PR puppets? Was it a one week contract???

The sabotage test is the most odd part of the whole story.

To me, this 2006 statemeant does not add much. I think he would say that after all the BALCO stuff wrapped up, he started to get more paranoid and thought all involved in that were dirty in some way. After the guy touched Galen, he wanted to confirm that nothing like that could happen even if far fetched. He found it unlikely to be the cause Iin 2006 but he wanted to confirm it. He probably tested with androgel in DHEA because that is what he had.

Still, I find the test itself unnecessary. It's either stupid or suspect. It depends on how you look at it. Reporting and keeping the documentation can be seen as evidence of innocence or an elaborate CYA. My guess is USADA has known about all of this since 2013. Hence all the testing.

So, it is obvious to you, yet not to Salazar when publicly stated that the idea is "preposterous"?

Mmkay.

Did you know that the word 'dude' goes back to the nineteenth century!!?http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/11/dude-transcends/309528/

Sure he thought it was preposterous. Then he learned different. Then he needed someone to test it to determine undetectable limits. Then he could use it on his athletes without them being aware.

This whole bunch of bullshit about Alberto's son being tested on with Androgel; the bullshit comment about don't let anyone touch my bags where my androgel is residing ...is a fantastic ready made excuse used ..just in case someone glows particularly bright... They've got a ready made Oops built in..thus probably avoiding long term suspension by using the "Oops excuse" of "X athlete got too close to my bag of androgel ". Let it be known that there's some really powerful stuff in his bags and by any little chance they do test + ..well then they just prop up the "Ooops". Rupp or ____, gets a slap on the wrist of 6 months and they then just move forward; It's a ready made safety valve just in case ...they gob on too much androgel... "Oops we're sorry.."

YOU'RE MISSING THE KEY POINT:

Salazar made these comments BEFORE Galen had the incident after his

4xmile record with the rubbing of his shoulders, which is what subsequently prompted the testosterone experiment. You have to understand the timeline before you make innuendo.

Exactly. Of course biased LetsRun doesn't mention this in their story, of course.

Alberto was so concerned after the incident he called the USADA hotline. That he called the hotline shows he was legitimately scared of sabotage.

LetsRun you should add that to the story. He was scared of this scenario such that he called the USADA hotline.

I'm sick of Rojo and Wejo being so biased in this story. Seriously, can we at the very minimum ask for some fair journalism here???? These comments were as stated before made before someone rubbed on Rupps shoulder! No wonder Rupp and NOP hates Letsrun, they are on a witch hunt...

Ah,it is preposterous that someone could rub in enough squirts to exceed the testing threshold unbeknownst to an athlete. However, if you are already microdosing up to your comfort zone for avoiding testing positive, a rogue massage therapist might be able to do some damage. Not so crazy now, is it?
