Re:

Remember when Neymar joined Barcelona they announced they had to boost his red blood cell count as they had discovered he was anaemic. Fancy that! They obviously don't have doctors in Brazil.

Really?

BBC Newsnight and Panorama ain't letting this drop.

No link - but super piece on TV a moment ago.

Salazar being brought to task and the hole he's digging may be getting a little deeper.

As any accomplished liar will tell you; the key to a Good/Sustainable lie, is to (a) keep it simple, & (b) keep it credible.

It's like stretching a tissue; once you exceed the elastic limits, you start to tear, & once you tear, the material can never be repaired.

Every time you get caught giving an explanation, that is soon shown to be a lie, you tear the material.

Within a year or two, Salazar; even if no-one is ever found positive; will be a Z-List coach.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/athletics/mo-farah/11694959/Alberto-Salazar-faces-fresh-doping-claims.html

That was an interesting article.

He (Don Catlin) claims that Salazar would repeatedly attempt to apply for medical exemptions – later known as TUEs – to use restricted treatments for conditions that Catlin deemed him not to suffer from. “I used to be on the board that reviewed TUEs for the US Olympic Committee so if someone wanted a TUE they would write it up and I would review it,” Catlin says.

“The issue for me with Salazar has always been that he tried to get a TUE for all kinds of things. He was looking for TUEs where I didn’t think there was any reason and I denied all of them. It didn’t make any sense to me and I simply thought to myself that this is a person who is looking to try to find an edge some way or another. And so I said no.”

"Gearing up" an unfortunate description for her pre-race prep.

If anything all this publicity will mean the big bucks will start rolling in. Ferrari has probably never been more in demand nor richer in his life. Sadly sports doesn't work like the 'real' world where you get caught cheating and no one wants to know you or work with you. The opposite in sport. Salazar will be hot and in demand big time.

 

[ray j willings]

Salazar and the long winded letter of inevitable sh$% smells so bad that you can see the clouds of gas lies that float out of his ar££/mouth and fly up into the sky and explode in a hail of "prove it"
He still has not explained away the accusations with factual evidence.

Nothing has changed...He's full of sh%$ , should own up tell it like it his and we can watch it all with a big smile on our face as WADA and every other sporting body go into denial and shock again...

This could be fun.

Was just coming to post a BBC version of that news.

Silly move by Mo.
Salazar's ship is sinking, get out now.

 

[Zebadeedee]

Don't fall for the idea that Farah was actually considering leaving his coach.

 

[SeriousSam]

Wasn't Farah a nobody before he started working with Salazar? Makes sense.

Nobody is a bit harsh, bt he certainly wasn't a world beater.

"As has always been the case, British Athletics will continue to take responsibility for all nutritional, medical and sport science elements of Mo Farah’s training regime.”
So what exactly does Salazar do for Mo again?

 

[Zebadeedee]

He advises British Athletics. It's a perfect circle.

 

[Benotti69]

Mo Farash has looked at Armstrong and reckoned it will take 15 years before he gets caught. So what's the problem? Just do it.

 

[Catwhoorg]

Re:

Double gold at the European championship in 2010, plus Euro indoors early in 2011 (around the time of starying with the NOP). Various medals before that.

He wasn't a nobody, but he wasn't as seemingly invincible long distance on the track as he is now.

(He is still way behind on the road)

 

[fenns]

Guess they've decided they are going to stand or fall together. IMO if Mo was clean he would have distanced himself from AS.

 

[Benotti69]

Salazar wont be suing the BBC! He say he is not a vindictive person! Hahaha, probably asked Lance was it worth it to pay lawyers loads of money when it always outs in the end...........
