yeah but you need thyroid medication to keep your hormones in check from EPO micro dosing and HGH.
salazar tells them the injections are only l-carnitine and thyroid and vit D cocktails. what he isnt telling them is what else he is hiding in with the injections.
Rupp, Farah and prob centro prob all get the good stuff, and kara at the time. the others prob only get the "placebo" stuff till salazar thinks upping them with some real deal gear is worth it.
he uses lower level tools like magness as guinea pigs. then look at mary cain...she didnt know what was in her injections but decided to refuse taking them. alberto then tells her goodbye...and now she is running SLOOOOOW
kara wanted to stop taking them, alberto gave her the ax, she told him she would squeal, he said he would expose their affair and ruin her marriage and reputation. everyone who cant see all the dots and connect them i feel bad for you.
if you look up side effects caused by certain steroids, EPO, and HGH you will see that they cause certain deficiencies, and these deficiences can be fixed by legal things like vit D, L-carnitine, and thyroid meds. getting TUEs for these things also keeps his pupils "ok" if things are a little off cause salazar can claim levels are off cause of their certain "conditions"...add in a corrupt doc who can skew medical reports or make "clean" results that are just slightly off.
in my mind salazar is more evil than rossa and Retardo. why? because he threatens his athletes if they refuse to comply. it reminds me of a CEO who preys on young hot interns. whereas rossa and Retardo are like pimps, "here take this EPO and HGH and then give me 80% of your earnings, you will still be more wealthy than anyone else in your country so make your choice"
