So....
Ever since the allegations went public and ever since Salazar ADMITTED to drugging his own son with testosterone, I had been deeply suspicious about NOP, Salazar and all their athletes.
I want to remind everyone who is sill relentlessly defending him...Salazar has been banned. Banned. These are not allegations anymore. He broke the rules, full stop. It doesn't matter if it meets your bs standards of rule breaking, he broke the rules. Stop acting like his actions are up for debate.
So with all that being said, I want to talk about Lambie. All the whistleblowers should be commended for coming forward. But I bristle slightly with this one because it took her so long to do so. I understand potential complications with her husband and family being so close to Salazar. But she let former teammates and coaches hang out to dry while she had some serious corroborating information. I don't think she's lying. I just feel like she should have done this a while back.
Lambie also took a pill that she didn't know what it was. It's really hard to empathize with that. She was an adult. Shouldn't she have known or asked or.... anything? This is still Salazar's fault for putting her in that position to begin with, and I don't want that fact to go unnoticed. But still...
