The most damaging allegations concern Rupp's reported use of testosterone when as young as 16. Magness is quoted as saying he saw documentation that appeare to show that Rupp, now 29, was on testosterone medication in 2011, and had been for years
Sam Chelanga , would be in line for a Title if Rupp has to forfeit.

Well not necessarily. the NCAA could merely vacate that title and not elevate anyone

The NCAA needs to delete the term vacate. Instead of vacate, use the term forfeit. When a team vacates, it's as if game was never played. Forfeit means they cheated and had win taken away, and other team wins.

Or Tarholed. Sounds better-or worse depends on how you look at it.

Either way...just because Rupp loses the title, if that ends up happening, we can't simply assume that Sam will automatically be declared the champion.

Sam posted the original story on the Project Oregon investigation to Facebook. I remarked to him that it made his victory over Rupp in Terre Haute all the more impressive. Seriously those victories by Sam & Josh were even more incredible now that we know more facts.

"I will document and present the facts as quickly as I can so that Galen and Mo can focus on doing what they love and have worked so hard to achieve."
- Salazar (The Coach)
The coach is saying those making the claims are knowningly making false statements. But the few track folks Ive talked to, all think its pretty well known Galen was doping. This is nothing like the Lance Armstrong case, but the interesting part to me is, Liberty's only Men's National titles in school history are from Josh and Sam, and the fact that we could/should have more, is intruiging.
