NOP is tainted at this point, except for the ones who are not working closely with Alberto. Rowbury, Hassan, Murphy, and even Mo are still well respected.
I think Galen is talented, I just feel that he is not really a fast marathoner and isn't on the level of KK and Hall. Other than that, I don't really have a problem with him. Im a huge Hasay supporter, because she has it in her to run fast, and she isn't afraid to go with the pace. Africans fell in love with Hall because of that same reason.
My view on peds is not totally black and white, because it's not like you stick a needle in your butt and run fast. A lot of training and hard work are involved, but PEDs do enhance the ability and performance of an athlete, and if an athlete is dependent on it in order to win, then that athlete is tainted to me.
Barry Bonds didn't need PEDs to be a great ball player. He was already a hall of famer, and arguably the greatest player to ever play the game before taking them. Bonds just wanted to hit even more home runs than what he was hitting, because Mcguire was on PEDS and blasting balls away. So Bonds is not tainted in my eyes.
If Rupp and Hasay are on PEDs and are abusing anti-doping laws, and they can't perform at a high level without them, then they are tainted. And if the best runners in the world are not acknowledging Rupp and Hasay, because they know the ends and outs of what is going on at NOP, then Rupp's entire running history might get purged after the investigation.
An american runner not being celebrated in his own country speaks volumes....
