I agree entirely with the substance of A Duck's remarks, although I think the tone could have been tempered. However, what must also be noted is that it is impossible for anyone to prove beyond doubt that he is clean. In the case of the Rupp, Farah, and Ritz training group, I'm as confident that I can be that they are all clean. Why? Setting aside their extraordinary potential as exhibited when they were in high school (Rupp and Ritz in particular), there's this: this is not just any training group--this is NIKE'S training group. It is inconceivable to me that Phil Knight and the Nike hierarchy would permit their hallmark long distance athletes, who train on the Nike campus, who are there everyday, to bring shame upon the Nike brand.

The type of post you quote is EXACTLY the type of post I've LOUDLY protesting against here for a long time.


Anyone posting this kind of crap if they could see hour for hour the work a Rupp or Farah puts in day in and day out...would realize that it is possible to do it clean.

It's ironic, sad and stupid that you can talk about believing in the "beauty" of our sport, when you have stewardship over the most ugly web destination in our sport.

Clearly you have a block to really thinking things through.

You don't care what innocent people get thrown under the buss in "print" on your website...all in the quest of profits.

The thing is...the forum here has devolved into a place where ALMOST EVERY ELITE has been accused on this site of being on PEDS.

It's become a place to just accuse people, where the accusers have no authority, knowledge or believability.

There's a place for the pub, sportsbar, or with your friends.

Not a website purporting to be an "authority."

Both you and your brother posting and sanctifying this thread and this sad and pathetic.[/quote]
