Hi everyone,
Thanks for the feedback, criticism and positive words regarding my coaching and coaching ethics.
As you would expect, I have cut my ties from Julie Miller. A lot of you have put in a lot of amazing work researching her performances and have found questionable results or even evidence that she did not follow the rules and cut the course. I don't know what it takes for a person to do something like this - there are dopers and there are drafters and course cutters - all of these are serious rule infractions

I agree with some you that I should have researched or analyzed her results after some races more in detail but I did not and this was my mistake! I coached Julie based on her feedback. She did not use Garmin devices or a Powermeter or even a bike computer or downloadable watch. I relied purely on her feedback through TrainingPeaks which was only provided to 10% with some HR numbers. Never was there a any doubt brought up to me from others that she might hav cut courses short or cheated in other ways leading up to this.
I tolerate ZERO cheating with my athletes and as I said before it is possible that I could have caught this earlier with paying better attention - my fault but as a coach I'm not out there to question every race result athletes produce. Nobody expects this from people. I'm NOT responsible for any athletes action and these actions she produced are out of my control.

I have been talking to Dan Empfield (slowman) and Jimmy Riccitello (Head IM official) trying to assist as much as I can.

I’m open to discuss this further. Do it directly, you can contact me via the message board and I will exchange email or a phone after to discuss.

Thanks,
Bjoern
