She didn't go to Safesport about her sexual assault. They brought her in for questioning because they were already investigating him for being inappropriate with female athletes. My impression is it was more centered on body shaming, causing eating disorders, harassment issues like rude badgering comments. She tells them of all the ways he is inappropriate and then when they ask her, Anything else? She mentions the massages and they were stunned. Then it took a long time for them to convince her to go on record. She didn't want to, obviously because of skeptical reactions villifying her.
What's with all your lies? You didn't take the 11:1 at face value at all, you ran with that smaller number for your PR against better knowledge. Quick Google reveals that you keep mentioning, and downplaying, the 11.6 here on letsrun at least since September 9, 2014. You liar. You knew it was 11.6 all along.
84.6% from the study? More lies, there is no 84.6% in that study whatsoever.
My lies? How dishonest.
Recall 11:1 came from you -- if it is a lie, it is your lie. It just looks like you are taking the opportunity to call me a liar, simply for not fact checking, and repeating your lie.
Did I know 11.6 was correct? Maybe 9 years ago, in 2014, when it was fresh, because it had appeared recently in another thread, or someone linked to the 7th circuit decision, where we can find: "Slaney's samples tested at ratios of 9.5:1 to 11.6:1."
The same quick google search shows many people say 11:1, like you did. Are you all downplaying it too? Are you all liars? Looks like the "real" T/E value is a range of 9.5-11.6:1. Now I wonder if the spread is so large because the quantities of T and E are so low, they are at the limit of detection causing wider variations in measurement.
I still don't see any PR value in the difference between 11.0 and 11.6 compared to thresholds of 6.0 or 4.0. Whether it is 11.0 or 11.6 (or 9.5), all of my points still stand.
If I really wanted to downplay it, I would say 9.5:1, like the 7th circuit memorialized.
83.6% is also correct, based solely on the data found in that study. Recall it is the measure of T/E values greater than 6.0 that did not test positive. To arrive at 83.6% (84.6% was a subtraction from 100% error) requires a calculator, and taking the numbers in the study, and calculating how many values above 6.0:1 were not confirmed by IRMS testing as positive: (80-4)/(1442-978) = 16.38% positives confirmed, leaving 83.62% T/E values deemed negative.
The study percentages were even more pessimistic: only 5.5% (80 out of 1442) confirmed, meaning 94.5% of these T/E values were false alarms.
No matter how you look at it, T/E values alone don't look to be all that reliable. Yet that is how Slaney was convicted.
Neither 11.0 nor 11.6 gives us enough information to determine whether 1) the testosterone was elevated, or 2) the testosterone was exogenous.
Amazing that Kara waited all those years to accuse. Follow that up with the fact she didn't press charges or sue. Why? She would be open to discovery. Her emails, texts etc just might show she is motivated for the attention and it might lead to a book. And money. Amazing that Wetmore had way more accusers yet she defends him. Only Kara bashed Al Sal but provided no evidence. Not buying it.
If that was true Salazar and Nike would sue her. Funny they haven’t. Perhaps she has some evidence you for know about.
It seems she provided enough evidence that he was "banned" by SafeSport. People should understand that they don't know what they don't know.
it's not the coach ban that should worry him, it's the sexual allegations that could get him in deep trouble. if he was smart, he would just stay off the radar for the rest of his life and just enjoy it
Yeah, Spain. He would fit right in. He's of Cuban descent. There is a huge difference between the Castellano dialect spoken in Spain (not to mention Basque, Galician and Catalan dialects) and the street-Spanish you hear in La Habana. Also, rumor has it that Spanish runners and racewalkers are as juiced as any Russian ones. Salazar burned out more runners than any coach I've ever heard of. As for doping, I think he pushed the envelope with the testosterone "treatments."
