    This is like an interrogation at police headquarters

    Her symptoms sound identical to mine when I had kidney cancer and did not know it until I have a routine blood test

    I seem to remember Des being upset when Dathan Ritzenhein joined hansons. She was upset because of his affiliation with NOP, a team well known for numerous thyroid TUEs. Well, turns out that she needed to be on synthroid JUST LIKE GALEN, MO and DATHAN. I think that she owes those folks an apology, certainly to her former teamate Dathan. Curious that she adopts this "open-book" persona right when she has a book to sell.
    While im at it, i also might as well point out that Des was one of the early opponents of supershoes, decrying the unfair nature of one shoe company offereing an exclusive benefit. Well, guess what. She won her Boston wearing Brooks supershoe prototype, a shoe not avalible to everyone.

      Galen has had TUEs for much more than thyroid medication. He’s was taking albuterol, L-carnitine, and receiving saline IVs prior to competition. As an athlete, Desiree has always been candid, never elusive, and has never been implicated in a doping scandal. Galen and Mo are shrouded in controversy. Weird how once they were no longer coached by Alberto, their performances have gone significantly downhill.

      @@briannemartinez2549 Coming out years later to explain away your synthroid use is not particularly "candid".
      Post-Salazar Galen has competed quite well, he dominated the 2020 marathon trials and then ran 2:06 to place second in Chicago 2021. Yes, he has ran a few flops, but he is getting old and some tough injuries are catching up to him.
      Mo on the other hand is more suspicious. He ran incredibly well up untill 2020, and hasnt produced anything of substance since. Mo not only has the NOP association, but he spent time training with Jama Aden, a known EPO offender.

      @@devtrev85 I think people shouldnt throw stones from glass houses. In this sport its so easy to cast doubt and suspicion on other athletes, and sometimes it seems like in the court of public opinion athletes are rewarded for making the most noise or pointing the most fingers.
