This article is well worth a read,the initial panorama BBC documentary on doping at Nike under Salazar was mainly about the legal use of thyroid meds and testosterone.
Now it's unfolding more to include L-carnitine.
Salazar has being pushing the legal limit of all these supplements,for me from what I have read it sounds like Salazar is not the bad guy but the biochemically ignorant politically correct around these sports,the authoritarians expect an athlete to dedicate their life to a sport that even the best can only financially gain until the age of 35,those who don't win make very little for the efforts and risk required.
it's becoming more clear the legal limits needs to be raised to protect the athletes health ,they are all doping at the top in every sport.
Why should someone who didnt win the epigentics lottery accept their fate?sounds like the genetic determinism paradigm is alive and well in the mentality of humans along with reductionism being the sole answer to all.
Salazar was also a runner and when he retired he had a a heart attack,I think he swore by testosterone for his recovery.
