Episode Notes Sorry fans, Wejo is on vacation and I am having trouble doing timestamps. But the show basically went like this. 0:00 Shelby Houlihan talk starts it off 44:30 NCAA review 66:00 Olympic Trials preview begins 1:44:30 Dathan Ritzenhein interview During the show, Rojo admitted if a Salazar athlete was popped he'd 100% have a different reaction but says that makes sense. Here are 12 reasons why it would be reasonable for one to react differently if this was an Alberto Salazar athlete and not a Schumacher athlete. Salazar was part of Atheltics west where there was known steroid use. Salazar admitted he used steroids himself. I had guys calling me unsolicited when Rupp was in college saying weird shit was going down with Rupp getting shots in hotel rooms. I had his massage therapist calling me saying they saw weird shit in the apartment. I've got a picture of a Nike lab report saying Rupp was on testosterone in HS. I know for a fact that Salazar has steroids in his bag and gives Rupp massages even though they have a masseuse on staff. Also Slaney was popped. I know Salazar violated the rules on Lcarinitine. I know Salazar repeatedly violated US prescription med rules. I know Salazar sent drugs across the world in hallowed out books. I know Salazar loved Dr. Brown. Jerry - who initially was a co-coach with Salazar -on the other hand, thought it was weird and stopped sending his guys there. And last but not least I have the assistant coach in the group calling me up saying he's got grave concerns.
