Once considered one of the most promising female distance runners, Cain says when she left the Nike Oregon Project she was 'just trying to survive.'
Former Nike runner Mary Cain pushed back against the weight-centric system coach Alberto Salazar created, which she claimed caused her to stop her period for three years and break multiple bones.
Cain, once the fastest female runner in America, gave up a college career to join the Nike Oregon Project, a long-distance running team established by the shoe company. In apublished on Thursday, she says she joined Nike to become the"best female athlete ever" but instead was emotionally and physically abused.
Cain criticized the reforms, which she says in the video are a"direct result" of the doping scandal, for not acknowledging the"systemic crisis" in women's sports and at Nike. To change the system, she says, women need to be in power. She wonders if her life would have turned out how it did if she had worked with more female coaches, psychologists and nutritionists.
