Then why did she lose her AR?
I am from her area, so a big fan.
The rules (stupid as they are sometimes) state that there are no excuses. She *had* a banned substance in her sample. She *was* sanctioned, results from dates x-to-y were nullified, prizes, medals returned, etc.
She was not given further ineligibility because the investigation illustrated she was **not at fault for the positive**, not that there was not a positive or that the level or the identity of the substance yielded it ineffective.
The logic on records is that they must be pristine. If a track has no rail and full video exists showing no stepping on the line, its still no record. Its a different standard.
Nevermind that that race fell within her period of voided results.
