Conclusion

We owe our gratitude to the Nike Oregon Project. Whether or not people are fans of their methods, or the individual athletes, they must respect what has been accomplished. We would not enjoy the sport as we do today if Alberto Salazar, Tom Clarke, and Nike didn’t take a vision and apply manpower to fulfilling it. Runners coming out of college wouldn’t have the same opportunities with shoe contracts and training groups if it wasn’t for the tone that was set by the Nike Oregon Project. So, a thank you is due, not only from runners and fans, but from all the young kids that will grow up with the chance to pursue running like so many athletes before them could not.

Article by a college kid. Nothing to see here. Just a fanboy.

TUES, micro dosing, altitude tents, IVs before races, pills hidden in books, prescription drug abuse, and like you some other grey area stuff we don't even know about. Oh, and also testoboost.

At least Salazar only has the power to DQ competitors at domestic events, and not the Olympics.

Don't forget screaming at his athlete's competitors in front on children (like he did to Lopez Lomong).

Great to see this thread in a forum that is busy accusing people of cheating!

Two of the BIGGEST cheats in the world of athletics today:

1) NIKE

2) Alberto Salazar

Not surprising really to see vile systematic doping taking place when such massive amounts of money are involved hey?

AND ... IF Rupp isn't a doper too then my name's Fanny Adams!!

Let's all get behind Salazar & Rupp ... hahahahahahahaaha!!

Do me a favour guys!!!

Typical LetsRun message board response. Bringing nothing to the conversation but stupidity. Sad and pathetic!!!

Um.....ever heard of Russia?

Yes, I've heard of Russia ... and yes, they're the same as Nike / Salazar, and they're the same as the Kenyans in what they take and how they try to avoid detection ...

BUT Nike / Salazar is more underhand and Armstrong'esque ... so more evil in my eyes ...

Certainly nothing to be chearing about in my eyes ... evil evil evil

I wish they would have unleashed Lopez on him. That dude is a physical specimen, and would ruin Salazar's day.

Poor losers.

Wait. Losers.

Rupp is done since having kids. No shame in that, it marks the end for most of us.
