Victor Conte expects Alberto Salazar to be banned

So...no new information yet this is still breaking news?

Seeing how rampant doping is, it's clear that playing in the grey area is necessary.. How else can Americans compete with the likes of Radcliffe?

Exactly. He is an excellent self-promoter. He doesn't know anything.

Yes, the opinions of victor conte - one of the masterminds of the greatest doping rings in sports history - are the new information. It very much is breaking news as no one knew what Conte thought about it until now.

The fact that Conte thinks Salazar was doping his own sons to circumvent the system is very relevant. That is the definition of 'new information.'

.....or he knows everything...?

Can we get Marion Jones' and Paula Radcliffe's opinion on this as well? Their prior "experience" should really help shed light on the situation.

They had some pretty hard evidence on Conte.

He ran the lab.

He produced the PEDs.

Salazar's evidence is circumstantial.

It will be harder to get something concrete on him.

Yes, everything that Salazar does seems to be to learn how to get past testing.

But that is not solid evidence of what he may actually be passing off to his athletes.

He might be a scumbag but I would say he knows a LOT about doping athletes and how to circumvent testing.

Conte and Salazar are old buddies, so I assume Conte not only knows what he's talking about, but also know Sleazy's inclination to dope.

You are such a joke! The biggest exposure of Drug Doping in history comes out and you don't say a word. Now some Felon pipes in with his 2 cents and you decide to run with that.

Not that you haven't shown your one sided "journalism" over the past few years but this is just so obvious. You would sooner see Alberto suspended for passing inhalers around and having 4 TUES total in 5 years amongst 10 athletes THAN expose the 800 athletes that have highly suspicious blood levels.

Enough is enough dude. Be PROFESSIONAL for one damn time

There isn't any evidence that Conte and Salazar are "old buddies".

They've had plenty on the "highly suspicious blood levels" revelations. What are you talking about?

Only Salazar was one of Conte's most famous customers. That's credibility!

3:10 in the video

"This was around 1985 and I was running poorly and he contacts me (through a coach) and says, 'We got this new tech of measuring your trace elements' and all this. So I sent him some urine," Salazar says. "That was the only time I did anything with them, other than buying some ZMA, but then everybody started making this stuff. They said people who were low on testosterone, it could help them. A lot of athletes took that. It's legal and there's nothing wrong with it." - Alberto Salazar

The BALCO website had various testimonials on it, however it was taken down the day the scandal broke. AlSal was one of the testimonials endorsing BALCO.

Thanks Letsrun for posting this Breaking News

Coe fights back and I tend to believe him. More important than this Conte BS that the Brojos will try to highlight.

We are not cycling. I believe in the efforts the IAAF has made - but nobody wants to listen to the scientist that say this report is rubbish and that these blood values or damn well meaningless without proper context.

Just too easy to jump on the "everyone is cheating (but for Willis, Jäger, Simpson and True)" bandwagon rather than question the motive and agenda of these mislead reporters and these quacks like Conte.

Look at their Twitter Page. Not one mention of the report that came out over the weekend. Total silence. Then they see an interview with Conte and they're all over it..."BREAKING"...is this really more important or pressing than what came out over the weekend?

Of course they post links to the articles on their homepage, thats how they make money. But do you see an in depth piece like they did EVERY TIME a story came out on Salazar? Do you see them starting a thread about anything like they do EVERY TIME something bad comes out about Salazar or NOP? I'm just asking for unbiased reporting.

How about a "BREAKING: UKA see's no sign of wrongdoing by Farah/Salazar" or "BREAKING: Mo Farah and Bolt have no abnormal blood levels". You will never see that on this site but those have been pretty damn important/breaking news.

I must just be a Freud drone though...
