Do you remember back in old L.A. (Wo-oh-oh) When everybody drove a Chevrolet (Wo-oh-oh) Whatever happened to the boy next door, Suntanned, crewcut, all-American Male? |

First American-born winner since 1982, wow. I was listening to a bit of the coverage yesterday morning (which pissed me off, since I was hoping to hear Cubs/Bears talk), and they said that Rupp was in the lead group until around mile 24, at which point he dropped a 4:28 (!!!) mile on the rest of the pack.

I was pretty fired up. Watched the last 30 mins or so, causing the family to be 15 minutes late for church. Then I learned he is a devout catholic! Yay! Then I learned his coach is the Victor Conte of track & field. Sigh. |

It would be difficult for a US born athlete to show up and win and he not be a name sports fans knew. I ran for a bit with a guy from Morocco. I wanted to take him to some $$ prize 5k's around Orlando, but it never happened. This guy had the talent to win, and no one would have known who the guy was. He had no way to get to the races and wasn't familiar enough with the language to find a race, go to race etc. But he easily could have finished top 3. That's about the only scenario a no name could come in and win and not be suspect of ICARUS type activities. |

I don't think Rupp was a "no name" do you? I mean the guy has a tremendous resume and medals to back it up. But now you wonder....he's been hanging with this Salazar guy a long time and Salazar definitely has some red flags..... really would have been a nice story to believe. |

Yeah, Rupp has been a part of the Nike program out in Oregon for a while. I'm sure some shady shit has gone down. |

Have you seen the Netflix ICARUS? Guy dopes himself to see if he can get better with the help of the Russian specialist on doping. Really interesting, but I couldn't stay awake. May catch your interest. An you are right, he isn't out of nowhere. bad thoughts by me. |

OK, JORR what do we have here? That is Marion Jones's drugging schedule. I believe the "E" is for EPO. Once a week. Just like a racehorse. |

The American white male has really been chopped down to size lately.
