I get it that the T/E test isn't used by itself any more.
Having said that, when I was coming up in the sport, I heard that Mary Slaney was on drugs and there were drugs within Atheltics West. That doesn't mean everyone in Athletics West was on something or that Slaney could not have been wrongfully convicted, but I wonder if Nike had been more transparent with the Slaney/Athletics West siutations if we'd be where we are today.
Instead, I felt they were hiding something, so the questions kept being asked and now Alberto is banned from the sport. And it makes me mistrust Nike's statements today. They've never shown a leadership role in anti-doping.
I was kinda surprised to see Slaney there considering the timing.
I guarantee you that Salazar will either be cleared of all charges or have his suspension reduced just in time to participate in the WC in 2021. There is no way NIKE is going to allow this cloud to hang over them and the WC. "Somehow" this will get fixed and/or explained away.

Hopefully you're right.

Salazar is going to get a slap on the wrist and then they’ll start NOP 2.0 and he will have a more “hands off” role.

Gotta love the Brits! Throw Mo under the bus before even naming the subject of the article in the next paragraph. Breathtaking!
Clip:
"Organisers of the next athletics World Championships invited a drugs-cheat protege of Sir Mo Farah’s disgraced former coach to the event’s official launch.
Hours before it was announced the Nike Oregon Project would shut down in the wake of Alberto Salazar’s ban for doping offences, Eugene 2021 paraded Mary Decker Slaney at its “official kick-off event” on Thursday."
There is Let's Run and there is the rest of the planet who doesn't care.

I agree! Money talks and b*llsh*t walks. Nike and Phil Knight will "fix" this problem one way or another.
You are so correct on this! The rest of the world doesn't care about this at all.
