Hear! Hear! I applaud them all.

Yeah, Kara whined AFTER she was let go. You can't attend half the party and then claim afterwards that you weren't there, it doesn't work that way.

Kara and Adam are both full of s***. They ran their best under Alberto, but somehow didn't participate in his methods? Gimme a break.

You are not a hero if you don't speak out until after you are no longer being paid.

A great day for honor & integrity

That remains to be seen. The pro-Salazar argument has always been that they ride the line but never cross it. It will be interesting to see what he’s being dinged for, if he can appeal, etc. Also highly notable that he is being banned but none of his current athletes.

Yes, this is what will catapult the sport forward ??

Have her tears ever been tested?

Really? Did you see who won the 5000 today at the WCs?

Congrats to Desi for calling out Ritz and moving on from Hansons when they picked up the doper.

They had to pick a side, not knowing what would ever come of it, and endure four years of being ridiculed. But now they've been vindicated. Maybe all the Nike PR shills could sign on one last time to apologize to Magness and everyone else.

Magness is a hack who got fired by Alberto. If Magness didn't get fired, he would still be working there and would have had no complaints.

He had complaints when he was a part of the program, which was a big piece of him being fired.

You can’t rewrite history to support scumbag Salazar.

Nope. Magness confronted Alberto about his doping. Magness was fired for not stepping in line.

By introducing Alberto to Dr. Brown?

So Salazar is getting banned for 4 years for experiments with his staff done many years ago. No athletes have been accused of doping. That’s the absolutely least-damning way anyone could get banned. I’m surprised how fair the LetsRun article seemed to be.

From today’s LetsRun article:

“Quick Take: Layman’s overview of doping violations found to be committed by Salazar

Too much L-carnitine administered to NOP coach Steve Magness

Salazar deliberately told his athletes that the infusions of L-carnitine they had were injections and didn’t need to be reported to USADA because he (incorrectly) worried this would constitute a doping violation

Violated anti-doping code by conducting testosterone experiment on his sons

Charges not found:

Gave too much L-carnitine to NOP athletes”

This is the most confusing element, that the doctor was brought in by Kara Goucher and that the only illegal L-Carnitine infusion was Steve Magness. I can see why Magness would be mad.. he broke drug rules by participating and then reported himself inadvertently.

Has anyone considered that the Dr. in question was from Houston area, same as Magness? Does anyone know if he went to that Dr. in HS? If he knew these methods worked, would that help him get the job with Salazar? What were his other qualifications at the time for landing that gig?
