When all is said and done, I wonder how many Salazar-coached athletes will have TUEs for asthma therapies...

I suspect the number will be small, and we will be force to conclude that he is a very allergenic guy :razz:

And his TUEs are out

Intravenous saline solution? Like....to lower hematocrit after taking EPO? Why the hell would anyone be given a TUE for that?

He passed out at finish line the NYC half around that time IIRC, so it was truly emergency treatment.

NYC half is in March. I don't remember what year he passed out.

A TUE is required because any IV of more than 50ml/6 hours is prohibited. That and the painkillers are consistent with hospitalization. Story is published a month after the TUE was given:

I know we are not supposed to read anymore, the intertubes is strictly image based. But the accompanying text still goes like this:

"A world 10,000m and 5,000m champion in both 2013 and 2015, Great Britain’s Mo Farah has now completed an Olympic ‘double’ on two occasions. In taking gold in both events at London 2012 and Rio 2016, he became only the second athlete after Finnish legend Lasse Viren to achieve the feat."

Still in good company, there. Would be awesome if Mo was busted properly, tho.

It also came days after it was reported Usada was seeking to retest Farah’s blood samples for the banned substance EPO, or erythropoietin, as part of its investigation. The 33-year-old, who vehemently denies any wrongdoing, declined to comment last night over the involvement of the FBI in Usada’s inquiry, whether he had been spoken to by agents, or whether he would co-operate if asked to do so.

The FBI! :eek:

The only reason the FBI would be involved is because Nike ( who bankroll Salazar's team ) has been a difficult target for USADA - Though I remain uncomfortable with the FBI's involvement in sporting matters, especially those that have a tenuous link to the USA.

Yep. Nike seem to have done all they can to block investigations.
Good article here if anyone hasn't seen it (sorry if it's already been posted in this thread):
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/is-nike-covering-up-dubious-practices-of-runners-a-1137229.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#ref=rss

'American anti-doping investigators believe that a Nike-sponsored team of elite runners coached by Alberto Salazar may be engaged in systematic deception. Internal emails suggest that the sportswear company has sought to hinder the investigation'.

SPIEGEL presented Salazar's emails to the professor for comment. "This trainer is acting as an alchemist, a drug procurer and hormone adulterer to these athletes," he says. "He should be banned immediately; there is no reason for delay."
