July 16, 2021

On this week’s edition of the Friday 15- the bonus podcast we do nearly every Friday for our VIP SC members – we talk about a lot. Oliver Dustin is eligible for the Olympics, the Tinman Elite have named Joan Hunter as their new coach, we know some of the people running the Boston Marathon, Luis Grijalva and Jaylen Slade have gone pro, Ajee Wilson is running a mixed 800 this weekend, and a German TV station has published a documentary showing it’s quite easy to have your samples sabotaged. Is that the ultimate vindication for Alberto Salazar?
