Inside Nike: Sources share claims of sexism, cheating, abuse at the world's wokest brand
Among those they sought to interview was Stuart Eagon, who by then had left distance running behind to become a documentary filmmaker. For days before the interview, he agonized over whether to go on the record about the prednisone incident with Galen Rupp. In the end, he felt he had to tell the truth."I just felt that someone coming into this program so young should have all the information necessary to know what they were getting into," he said.
Nike did not respond to questions concerning Salazar's comments about Goucher's breasts, nor did it respond to questions about the use of Cytomel at the Oregon Project. One day Salazar told the Gouchers that he wanted to put Mo, Galen, and Kara on a new supplement that had helped"some British cyclist." When Adam asked whether it was legal, Salazar appeared to get angry but did not answer the question, Goucher said. The breaking point, however, came at the 2011 World Championships, in Daegu, South Korea, where Salazar asked her to take a strange pill he claimed was a supplement.
After suffering a breakdown in 2015, Cain returned home and took some time away from the professional running circuit. She transferred to Fordham, where she earned a degree in business administration and took premed classes. Friends and colleagues from the running world reached out constantly to ask why she'd retired without at least making an announcement.
"I'm strongly suspicious of using testosterone cream as I saw it labeled in test results for Galen Rupp," Magness wrote in his email."Their head coach has a prescription himself for testosterone cream." In 2013 Tygart found his next whistleblowers: Kara and Adam Goucher. They had already spoken to the FBI about what they'd seen going in at the Oregon Project, but Kara was reluctant to speak with anyone else about it. What changed her mind was seeing Tygart on a television news program."It was right after Lance Armstrong finally got taken down, and we were in Colorado Springs watching Travis Tygart on CNN," Adam said.
Nike, meanwhile, hired lawyers to represent anyone even remotely connected to the Oregon Project, which may have prevented more people from coming forward."Nike paid for lawyers for the athletes, for the doctor, for the coach, for the other witnesses, for the pharmacy," Tygart told me.
Cahill, for example, alleged that she had been paid $20,000 less than a male colleague on her team, and was passed over for promotion despite her significant experience and expertise. She further alleged that, when she left Nike, she was replaced by a man who was paid a higher salary than she'd been earning. Johnston claimed she had received inappropriate messages and nude photos from a male coworker after a company party in 2015.
of searching for cheaper labor, Nike at last found just that in a manufacturing partner: The Qingdao Taekwong shoe factory, in China's Shangdong Province. At the time, it produced more than 7 million pairs of Nike shoes each year. Its workers do not strike, and they do not complain about their wages — perhaps because many of them are Uighurs who have been relocated from Xinjiang Province.
Confidence in Nike's ability to monitor its own overseas factories was further undermined in November of 1997, when a disgruntled employee leaked excerpts from a series of formal audits Nike had commissioned Ernst & Young to prepare. These audits, which the accounting firm had been tasked with creating in 1994, were far less-forgiving than the Young report.
But Salazar is up against quite a lot in his appeal: Emails contained in the decision reached by antidoping authorities showed that Parker had been briefed on several occasions regarding medical experiments conducted by Salazar. One of these experiments, conducted at Nike's Beaverton headquarters, involved testing the effects of AndroGel, a topical testosterone product.
