Why would she think they’d consult her? She’s on the downside of her career looks like she wants out of the grind. I expect her to flop on Monday
If she feels strongly she should leave the program. Break her contract and leave. I Hate when athletes say they have no choice. She has a choice. If the Hanson Bros were drugging athletes would she leave? So why does she stick around for this?

Desi plans on training with Ritz??? She would never work side by side with him.
It would be more like hiring someone in accounting and I'm in sales.
Desi is simply jealous that she will not be viewed as the top dog.
She is going to have a tough time shaking the bitter attitude.
Not sure how you know Desi is jealous? Kind of goes against your logic that he is in accounting and she is in sales. Why would someone in sales be jealous of and have a bitter attitude towards some new hire over in accounting? Non-sequitor alert.
Ahem, but Desi was ASKED about Dathan. That's why the quote is just "not especially." She didn't initiate the conversation. She just answered a direct question directly. That's not throwing him under the bus.
Did he - or did he not - do something medically fishy that's still being investigated?
What a turn-off of an interview: everything from feigning being upset about Ritz joining the club to bragging about flipping off other runners. What a disaster. I'd cancel her contract on the spot.
When Dathan is soon asked what he thinks about Desi's comment, he could say "Well..., even though she is not currently under investigation, I can not fully support her until I read a report indicating she is clean." However, I suspect he has too much class, and will simply say something like, "Desi is entitled to her opinion, and hope we can be good friends in the future."
The other top American women are very smart, college educated women who show great class.
Desi Linden has never displayed any of these qualities and I don't know any HS girl who would want to grow up and be like her.

Just shut up.
I think it reflects much worse that the Hansons knowingly signed an athlete who very likely doped than anything Linden said. From the NY TIMES story on the leaked USADA report:
Nike had begun making fewer payments to Ritzenhein based on his disappointing performance, he said. He believed that his options were to submit to the infusions or leave the Oregon Project. “There’s no way for me to get around it at that point, in my eyes,” he said in the report.
He received the infusion — which now took just 1 hour 10 minutes — in Dr. Brown’s Houston offices on Dec. 13, 2011. He also mentioned that Dr. Brown or someone on his staff would come in every few minutes and squeeze the infusion bag.
Dr. Brown provided antidoping officials with Ritzenhein’s medical records, but the report says the version he sent was altered. A page was removed and an added annotation read “45mL.” Antidoping officials said they were able to determine the alteration by comparing the records with those provided by Ritzenhein.
Antidoping officials suggest that administering an infusion of less than 50 milliliters “continuously and uniformly over a one hour period is a practical impossibility and Dr. Brown knew this,” concluding that Ritzenhein “received 9.67 grams of L-carnitine over 1 hour, which demonstrates that Ritzenhein likely received an infusion far in excess of 50 mL.”
Des should just not comment wrote:

Completely agree with this.
It takes courage to speak up about controversial subjects, ESPECIALLY when it involves your employer. Full respect to Des for doing so, even though she must know that it might put her in a tricky situation with Brooks. That being said Brooks should be magnanimous enough to respect her opinion and not make a mountain out of a molehill. If anything I think it puts both her and her sponsor in a better light.
Completely disagree with this. You are confusing courage and stupidity. Bill Rodgers showed far more courage by simply saying he trusts Al Sal and NOP at their word until proven otherwise. If you agree with "Go Des" then I guess you think that Bill Rodgers is also "a loser " who doesn't "give a true crap about our sport."
No, that's not courage from Bill. That's being politically correct. Love Bill's accomplishments but he plays the nice guy card far too often, to a fault.

Yeah. Weird on the Hanson's but Ritz somehow maintains the clean image in contrast to rupp and farah.
I'm no fan of Ritz but this is weird. The only thing we can find fault with him is that he may or may not of taken too much of a substance that is not banned.?
In any case I think all of this will not matter on Monday when Desi proves that she has jumped the shark and is no longer worthy of having a microphone shoved in her face.
A bitter has been that lost it at the end of her career. It is kind of sad.

LRC: Muir says he won't talk to Dibaba due to solo allegation, but won't say anything about Sir Mo; what a hypocrite!
Also LRC: Desi shouldn't have said anything about Ritz. I hope she spontaneously combusts on the streets of Boston, that'll teach her to keep her mouth shut!
Lol. Nice.

He admitted to receiving an illegal infusion. Keep up. If that’s not of substance the entire NOP investigation is also not of substance. You pimple faced tweens and ohunched over jogging old farts can’t have it both ways on this website, hate rupp, love ritz, flame brojos for not asking ritz hard questions, flame desi for honestly answering a question.

And...when we’re the charges filed over that fantastic leaked report? Let me save you some time: NONE. People like you deserve to get sued.

Why are the other 3 sitting up and Desi is slouching badly? She is giving the impression that she would rather be anywhere else in this photo. I don’t wish anyone to have a bad race, but she is making it harder to cheer for her.
Ha ha. My Dad would of slapped the shiit out of me if I slumped like that when I was 10 years old at any formal presentation. Adults should know better. Poor representative for her sponsors.
