In its decision, the USADA panel said Salazar "does not appear to have been motivated by any bad intention to commit the violations." It adds: "In fact, the Panel was struck by the amount of care generally taken by Respondent to ensure that whatever new technique or method or substance he was going to try was lawful under the World Anti-Doping Code, with USADA's witness characterizing him as the coach they heard from the most with respect to trying to ensure that he was complying with his obligations." The panel says Salazar made "unintentional mistakes that violated the rules," and that he was "apparently motivated by his desire to provide the very best results and training for athletes under his care." Each of the transgressions Salazar was found guilty of carries a range of possible penalties, from a temporary ban to a lifetime sanction, depending on the seriousness of the violation
