You are so full of shit. Everyone is Innocent till proven guilty??? Is that how you treated the Oregon Project around this time last year?
One year later and the investigations are over yet you still look at them like they are doping. Save it.
Spare me the indignation. We have never said they are dopers.
This is what Alberto Salazar has admitted to doing.
1) Alberto admitted to having testosterone and conducting experiments with it on his sons.
2) He admitted a high schooler was taking a product called "testoboost". This from a guy who said, "None of our athletes are on any sports-specific supplement other than beta alanine, which is an amino acid. Other than that, it’s iron, vitamin D and that’s it. You don’t really need anything else"
On top of that numerous athletes said they were advised to take prescription drugs that were not theirs according to publisher reports.
Personally, this fall I started to think #1 on its own is a doping violation. But USADA must not feel this way or it is incompetent as Alberto has admitted to this. I'm pretty sure if Jerry Schumacher without a personal subscription for testosterone went out and did this experiment it would be a doping violation, so I'm not sure why a personal prescription makes it acceptable. If its not against the rules it should be because it is the exact thing a cheat would do to see what they could get by with.
Even if #1 occurred and it is a doping violation it does not mean Alberto doped his athletes.

As for today's stuff we a new interesting side link to Farah and stuff related to today's raid that I hadn't seen in English press. Decided to wait to get a response from Ricky Simms before publishing so we backed off the second part of the article until tomorrow. Makes sense to put in the Aden's association with Nike in that part as well.
Look Farah is from Somali, so is Aden, he may just like hanging out with a coach with his same background. They can speak the native tongue I assume. It doesn't mean he's a doper. Personally Eddy Helleybuck was super nice to me and one of the first guys who spoke to me on the circuit. I liked him. Doesn't mean I was a doper.
At the same time, to not note the associations of these people would be poor journalism. The first thing all the British papers did today was note how Farah is linked to Aden and what UK Athletics was saying about it.
