THIS is why I think the Brojos should've stayed out of this. They should've kept the coverage even and at the very least not commented and at the very least not commented on threads all over the place.
Goucher requests full transparency re Salazar, then promises to divulge info shortly, then decides to close shop. Once Pandora's box has been opened you can't close it Kara

What a stupid question. I assume you're being deliberately puke-brained.
She has openly stated that literally dozens of runners have come forward to her since the BBC documentary came forward.
She has stated it would be more effective if these people would go straight to USADA, but that she would be the messenger for people that were fearful of retribution.
In other words, it is obvious where "new knowledge" is coming from, and she is doing exactly what she said she would.
Do you have trouble with your memory, or with making simple connections.
Speaking of being "puke-brained" . . . . surely you aren't suggesting her "new evidence" would be from what OTHER people are saying. She's going to present THAT to USADA? "These guys told me this stuff."
HEARSAY much?

The level of Nop fanboi ignorance is stunning. Divulged to the authorities --the USADA-- not to NOP fanboi clowns.

Yet another NOP fan who is clueless about how a USADA investigation works.

This thread has 7 pages in 11 hours. Do you really think the Brojos can't remove the super hot tag if they want?

There's a whole thread that must not be mentioned still going strong, that people must know the correct words to search for, or have bookmarked, if they want to read it. If they can keep that off the forum lists and Super Hot then they can keep this one off as well.

Something to keep in mind in weighing all of "this" is that after Goucher left the Oregon Project she signed up with another Nike group, Schumaker's. Of course there are all sorts of good reasons why she might have done this, including not wanting to leave Oregon, in Portland in particular, but it is interesting nevertheless.
One does not "sign up with" a Nike group. One signs with Nike. Her Nike contract didn't end when she left Alberto.

A thread titled "WEJO SUCKS BALLS!!!" was once an autogenerated super hot on letsrun topic. So things they do not like do make the front page. It was short lived but somebody did save a screenshot and upload it. I used to have the bookmark saved but I had to wipe my computer clean
Silly me: mea culpa and I stand corrected. However, do we know that she didn't resign with Nike after she had moved to Schumacher's group?

The BroJo's are stupid, and they are awful. They pretend to be un-biased when they are not; they pretend to be journalists when they are not; they cruise their message boards in search of criticism so that they can delete it, scoff at it, but never take it to heart.
Magness and the Gouchers don't seem to add much to the main story. I have always rooted for the Gouchers but now I am perplexed,
people care about this topic because this was really about whether Rupp cheats and Rupp is Mo Farah's training partner. The main items raised were androgel in his room, the sabotage test and the anonymous runner who said a Salazar colleague may have talked about micr-odosing. I think we heard all there is to know. We can always wonder but, really, it seems easy to get the stuff if you want it. There could be others not in NOP and we would never know. (No, I don't work for a PR firm)
Magness had a 12 year old document with a vague reference and some stories that sounded bad but were addressed in emails he was copied on.
The Gouchers said they think Galen is a cheater and Alberto cheats. They offered one personal anecdote about Cytomel, a story about watching a Lance TV story as a group, speculation on Rupp being tired and a story about IVs. Their Cytomel story was called into question and now they will not argue it. When asked if she had anything on Farah or Rupp she said no. Now they want to go quiet and switch topics to payment while pregnant, etc. I was sympathetic to her Cytomel story initially and now wonder why she can't at least talk about the issues she raised on TV. She wanted everyone under oath but now will not explain how Alberto was wrong about the stories she already told. They got attention for the initial story but really offer nothing about Rupp. They essentially keep calling him a cheat. What did they expect? I would not feel comfortable calling someone a cheat without backing it up. To those comparing them to Frankie Andreu, I would argue that Kara has a lot more media experience, she well off, has a sponsor and only has to explain why she thinks Rupp is a cheat.
We are left with USADA, which had all of this info for a few years and now tests Rupp more than anyone else. The '17 people' may mean something. Of the 17, we have the Gouchers, Magness, Areson, the anonymous man, the two masseuses, maybe Rohatinsky. That leaves 9. For all of these accusations, I hope to hear observations about Rupp or at least more stories like the anonymous runner. otherwise, I am not sure there is anything to learn.
Just lost all respect 4 Kara.
Reading between the lines, I think there was some personal stuff going on that would have been tough to release to the public. I think she was pissed off when Alberto made his statement and lied about what happened, and swore to tell everything to everyone -- then thought better of it when she calmed down.
I wish we heard the whole truth, but I don't blame her for wanting to keep private things semi-private (if that's what she's doing).
However, if she was taking or doing something in the grey zone when she was one of the top 10k/marathon runners in the world, I think she really ought to tell us what was going on then.

The document was not vague.
There are a lot more than '17 people'.

There is no reason for this to happen. If NOP runners current, and past, get bans they wont tell anything more than what previously banned athletes have told: nothing much.

You're right. Of course, given both the charges against Salazar, and, frankly, what he's admitted to, it's not impossible that the FDA *is* involved if not the FBI. In some respects, the crimes that Salazar may have committed are somewhat mundane, but, given the publicity this has generated, just as with Lance (although, admittedly, that was much much bigger) I wouldn't be surprised if governmental agencies are involved.
You could be right, but I'm not so sure. .
I am pretty sure the FDA does not want any part of the Salazar case. The Armstrong investigation was a reach for them. The push for it came from a special unit that basically got to write its own ticket. From the FDA's perspective, the Armstrong investigation did not go well. The US Attorney did not file charges, and there was quite a bit of blow back over how the investigation was carried out.
Many of the most serious allegations about Salazar involve things that happened long enough ago as to fall outside of the statute of limitations.
Moreover, so far no runner has admitted to doping, or said they saw anyone else doping. This is very different from the Armstrong investigation. Several of Lance's team mates admitted to doping, or said they had seen him doping, or heard him admit to doping. And even then, they just barely got him.

NOP has never been sponsored by a branch of the government, as Lance was by the US Postal service, that's why the government was able and willingly to pursue him.
