Why is Salazar in ATLANTA?

Wow, if this is real, nice work.

Yes, he is not allowed to be there.

No, it's not "weird" in the sense that Nike has pulled this crap before. They are above the rules.

Salazar is STILL coaching Rupp. Rupp needs him. Salazar complies. A crowbars cannot separate those two.

Sad to see

It uses the word "participate". Just watching race is probably OK.

It would be best to not be there at all. He can watch it on TV, or a special video feed. Being there in person is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

Where is that from? Not conclusive enough of a photo to prove it is him.

If you know of this feel free to email me or post better evidence or call us 844-LETSRUN

So his still coaching Rupp.

He is allowed to be there. He shouldn't have a credential. He shouldn't be coaching anybody.

It's still a bad look to be there.

Yeah, right!

I really really don’t think this is Salazar.

Think about it, the guy is not a dumb person in that sense. To show up in his usual garb and hat in the athlete area. It would be a suicide mission. He’d get exposed and Rupp would be screwed over for it, he wouldn’t do that to Rupp after all the training, him being the reason Galen doesn’t make the team because of illegal contact.

I don’t know if it’s an impersonator, but I doubt it’s him. Most likely a coincidence but I really don’t think he’d risk it for Rupp’s sake

Alberto cannot be prevented from going to Atlanta. How stupid are you?

Cmon Al Sal, get it together. You’re better than this. Don’t risk tainting your guys race. Stay off the course, no hat swapping from a van, time to let go, support from afar.... AND DONT BE NEAR RUPP!

Remember it’s lent.

It’s not a good enough picture to tell, but it looks like it could possibly be Sleazy Sal. I suspected that there was a chance he wouldn’t be able to keep himself away from Atlanta this weekend... LRCers on the ground, keep an eye out!

Have camera ready.

If that is Salazar point him out to the officials.

I would expect Alberto to be in Atlanta. What else is he going to do? Are you aware the Trials are once every 4 years? Alberto has every right to be there. This is a non story at this juncture.

I heard he is having lunch with Kara and Adam at millerunion.com , and new "foodie" favourite in Atlanta.

Some guy in a hat.

LRC goes WILD!

I apologise for the bad image. I'm posting on behalf of the photo taker. Two partys saw him, they both said 100% Salazar. My second friend pointed him out and by the time my other friend had his phone out it was too late to get a good shot.

BTW I just called and left a voicemail for Wejo.

Is it possible he could be announcing the race with NBC?
