Nike will back Alberto Salazar Appeal , the gloves are coming off.

I can't speak for the NOP Athletes, but fortunately, I only need to say that he used testosterone for himself under prescription and that still qualifies for "using a banned substance in any manner"...

Having used it before obtaining a TUE, having the panel confused about the reality of the medical condition he was supposed to have in order to justify this diagnostic and prescription, trafficking it with his pal Dr Brown, and rubbing some on his sons as a experiment to determine how much is needed to trigger a positive test are just bonuses.

He admitted all of that himself.

So yes, I can back my claim.

is the ban still effective if/when he appeals?

If he wins, he will probably sue USADA!!

the only NOP athletes really suspicious are the gouchers, farah, treniere moser, ritz, and of course rupp. kara's lucky she isn't getting banned and needs to stop the attention-seeking. she can't bear that she's old and washed up and no one cares about her anymore

This is good, gives them more time to dig and find even more wrong doing. Save those samples, give them time to improve testing and pick up the new stuff.

i hope he wins. he is the only good thing that has happened to distance running coaching in the usa for the past 20 years. in all the time he has been coaching not one, not one, of his athletes has failed a drug test. are they not tested? i see absolutely nothing wrong in trying to figure out what supplements and levels of supplements that may enhance performance are legal under the rules. we are not all living at 8000' here.

Since when Testosterone is not a banned substance and/or Alberto did not use it "in any manner"?

Did they actually read the report before backing the appeal and issuing that statement?

Is it the same reading skills that had them convinced that they can claim 4% improvement from their shoes?

NO way is that true! I started this thread and I'm the one getting the credit for knowing what nobody else knew first.

Well duh...capitalism..how does it work?

Nike . . . LOL . . . the same group that launch a fake lawsuit against Mt. Sac to pry the 2020 Olympic T&F Trials away from them, and bring them, once again, to Nikeland. Immediately after the USAFT bent over for whining Nike and gave them the candy (the trials), the lawsuit was dropped. The lawsuit was intended to stop or delay construction of the new stadium at Mt. Sac.

Meanwhile, the Mt. Sac stadium construction time-lapse cam shows the stadium is well on the way to completion well before Nike's hired local lawyer claimed. The stands are up. The infield turf is in. The base for the new track is in place.

I laugh at the people who think Nike will all of the sudden grow some morals. Nike cares about Nike and nothing else. They are a corporation whose goal is to maximize shareholder wealth. They have children sewing their shoes together and we think they'll care about someone micro-dosing testosterone? That's laughable.

How does Nike backing the appeal represent the gloves coming off? Nike has been backing and bankrolling the defense all along. So that just seems status quo.

The ban is still effective while appeals are ongoing.

He will not be able to sue USADA. I mean, this is America, so you can sue anybody for anything, but it is doomed to defeat for lack of jurisdiction (see Reynolds, Butch).

I’m buying another pair of Nike pegs today to do my part.

Seems like a big fuss over vitamins

Information on testing was documented with Nike staff . There is an email chain , what Magness stated does not match

what he actually did. Magness was actually an employee of a Nike division . The appeal will actually let Nike legal enter the discussion.

How is Nike legal different from the lawyers for Salazar and Brown, who were paid for by Nike and were coordinating with each other and Nike?

If there is evidence that is relevant that is in Nike's hands, why was it not presented at the original hearing? I don't think the new hearing is going to allow new evidence, that is not generally how appeals work.
