CHICAGO - The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has praised the decision to shut down the Nike Oregon Project , saying on Friday it was a necessary step after the elite distance running program’s leader, Alberto Salazar, was suspended for doping violations.
Salazar was given a four-year doping ban by USADA on Sept. 30 but has denied wrongdoing and plans to appeal.“Now let’s hope they accept that mistakes were made and truly commit to clean sport and the health, well-being of athletes,” he said. The decision to close the program came two days before the Chicago Marathon, with NOP athletes Galen Rupp, the race’s 2017 champion, and women’s contender Jordan Hasay among the favorites.
