Elite Runner Lauren Fleshman Was encouraged by Alberto Salazar to Use Asthma Drug to Enhance Her Performance
I’ve never been a fan of Alberto Salazar after hearing how his training philosophy has athletes running hard and extrmely hard for the majority of thier miles. After reading this article it makes his principals seem even worse.
Elite distance runner Lauren Fleshman says that Alberto Salazar helped her get treatment for asthma, but she became squeamish when he suggested that she use medication in a different manner than the doctor instructed.
