Maybe not against WADA rules, but it is a criminal offense to dispense prescription drugs without a license. Dr. Brown could be being investigated for prescribing prescription drugs to people who do not have conditions that those drugs treat.

It is worse than that. Prescriptions are not written. Salazar and Brown discuss what drugs to give for certain conditions and Salazar provides the drugs. In Salazar's manifesto he screwed up by providing a email from Brown which fails to identify an athlete by name that needs some drugs—"that athlete" is who Brown referred to.
"That athlete" could be anyone. That was the intent of keeping a specific name out of it. The email could be used to explain away anything. But drug prescriptions ARE NOT given out via email direction. That is what Salazar and Brown were doing and it is not medically legal.
spoke to a source at the telegraph, there was another hack today which unfortunately is gonna put an end to this situation. should be announced tomorrow around lunch time
OH BOY BARRY FUDGE and JAMA ADEN and SIR MO FARAH and ALBERTO SALAZAR!

This is getting complicated.
It is just a complicated coincidence.

C'mon, man. Is this really true?
I can confirm there was another hack today, from a sports illustrated source. Hopefully details out by week's end

A dead one
So, the latest hack reveals "there was not enough evidence, case dismissed", or some such thing?

Yes. Salazar's innocence was proven, and also Farah's and Rupp's. The evidence is clear: there is no case to answer.
Even the IAAF in form of Lord Coe confirmed this.

If it was a hack of the IAAF, wada, or usada: a source that might have provileged information, then that could be true. I'd say that's doubtful though.
Feds would not be involved if this were some benign and straightforward case.
Wow - what a clever point. You must be so proud.

As proud as your silly, non contributory comment? Why would you even take the time to post a dick comment like that?

I would love it if they hacked the IAAF, unless it was to reveal that I cheated and ate a Kitkat before I ran a sub 5 mile. Then it would be a problem.
I cannot imagine an organization better qualified than USADA, and a prosecutor more motivated than Tygart, to find, pursue and prosecute any WADA rule violations by Salazar and NOP athletes. At the very least, I don't consider anyone participating in letsrun forum discussions in a better position, possessing more knowledge, and possessing the expertise to make a reasoned determination, than USADA and Tygart.After at least 4 years of investigation, and extensive testimony from at least 19 former NOP athletes and employees, the latest status from USADA that I'm aware of is: "we continue to investigate whether anti-doping rules were broken".Given what is publicly known to date, this does not surprise me. This was my first question after viewing and reviewing the excellent journalism from Propublica's David Epstein and BBC's Mark Daly.It does not surprise me:- that USADA has eventually appealed to the FBI to help find more evidence, assuming Ben Rumsby's implication in the Telegraph.co.uk is accurate- if the FBI finds enough evidence to determine that federal and/or state laws were broken- if the most USADA can do is to eventually lobby WADA for rule changes to better control prescription drug use by athletes

This is just called off label use. It is very, very widespread and not (in and of itself) cause for investigation.
Here you have a physician prescribing thyroid medication to treat sub-clinical hypothyroidism. Although there is not a consensus on treating people this way, this is clearly a practice with some support in the literature and well within the discretion of an endocrinologist.
In my opinion, based on what has been revealed, USADA is trying to leverage the Texas Medical Board to investigate Dr. Brown and encourage/make him cooperate with their investigation (where they otherwise have no authority over him).
Dr. Brown may possibly be vulnerable on other issues but subscribing thyroid medication to people he has diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism is not an issue on which he is vulnerable.

Average Joe poster doesn't know or care about these things. They are just a lynch mob.
Release all blood scores, medical data the lot and the lynch mob will kill every last athlete on earth. Then they will go and get a cortisone injection for a sore knee, take their allergy medication and use their asthma pumps, keep on running and not be able to put two and two together.
