When is the big news focused on Rupp and L-C injections coming out?
Some of the Americans here are truly an embarrassment. I understand one or two appear to be actually insane ('BannedIGot/Mindweak' for example), but it's almost like the American people had to choose between high IQ and good teeth, and chose the latter.
I get that Mo Farah was sleazy Sal's star athlete, but let's be honest here. At every turn, ethical reservations were expressed regarding Farah's 'L-Carnitine' injections by British team doctors.
It took a BBC investigation to even expose Salazar, back in 2015.
Almost immediately there was a freaking parliamentary inquiry into Mo and UK athletics links with Al Sal.
Despite that, it appears top American athletes had no scruples about joining NOP right up to almost the last moment, whereas due to pressure from the British media and British athletics, Mo Farah was forced to severe his links long ago.
A couple of years ago, Laura Muir announced on Twitter that she was going to employ a new American physiotherapist. Then it was pointed out that he was linked to NOP, the (British) media went crazy and Laura had to back track and cancel the appointment almost immediately.
So to be clear -
In 2017 the best British middle-distance runner was forced by the strength of anti-doping feelings in GB and British athletics to cancel plans to hire a physiotherapist linked to NOP.
In 2017 the best American middle-distance runner chooses to join NOP, almost immediately has his career transformed and is turned into a record breaking world champion who the Brojos and LetsRun gloat might break Rudisha's WR this year.
It's not yet known if Al Sal body shamed Donovan. But we know he almost certainly fed Mo with more EPO in the average carnitine injection than in the whole of East Africa.
And of course, what all this means is that it's GB, with our crazy teeth and thinly repressed desire to re-establish our evil empire, who are the doping hotspot of the world. Unlike Americans who do it clean - just like their teeth!
You guys even keep bringing cycling into it - the country of Lance Armstrong, the most infamous doper in history and a living science experiment - because of one suspect thyroid medication package supplied by a Sky team doctor.
