Exactly. The seven that released their records reported to not doping. In fact, not one single athlete, including Kara Goucher, have admitted, reported, or been found to have doped. This seems to be lost on everyone.
1. Now, have athletes seen Dr. Brown? Absolutely. Many, many of these athletes come from groups outside of the NOP. There are athletes in Schumacher's group and Wetmores group who have seen Dr. Brown. It's my understanding that many, if not all the current NOP athletes besides Rupp and possibly Farah (the l-carnitine thing), have never seen Dr. Brown.
2. Have athletes possibly been placed on thyroid medication when they didn't need it? Possibly, but that is unproven.
3. If they didn't need this medication, would it help performance if they took it? No, not likely and Steve Magness, although not a physician or reputable scientist (yet), has attested to this. WADA's medical scientist have looked at this as well, and found no performance benefit. It is NOT a banned drug and it does not require a TUE. Again, something lost on most journalists and people who visit these boards.
4. Back to the l-carnitine thing. Not a PED and no TUE required.
It's fair to suspect the NOP and not like them and root for their demise. However, if you assume there are cheaters out there, you also need to assume there are liars out there. People always want to bring up the Lance Armstrong case, but let me also remind you of the Duke lacrosse case....
