Not likely to drug test 259th OA /34th place female.
She has placed in many others in recent months. Very likely she was tested on at least one of them. Many sponsors also require testing of their athletes.

Actually no. It is very unlikely she has been tested this year. Not sure where you get your incorrect information from.
Why is the RD, Chris Kostman, so...cringe-worthy? Like I watched a few videos of him both speaking and interacting with runners and he just seems like he is trying way to hard to be cool.
The way he interacts with any woman who is even remotely attractive is weird. Like you can totally tell he's trying to flirt but is so awkward about it that it just comes off as odd.
I predict that she will take the OA win at Badwater and then it will be on the RD to test. I think if he did it would be great to clear her name - assuming (hoping) she is clean.
"This can't be true. She's already cheating this year too! Impossible for her to be in front of a guy like Harvey Lewis" - haters using same logic as last year
Anybody know why none of the runners had a split at 58 miles? (edit - Never mind. They added that column).
The top runners are through 72 with Harvey Lewis taking the lead (but his split makes no sense), followed by Holvik and Ishikawa. Paulson up a spot to 4th.
so what you're saying is, she went back to cheating, "internally" by doping? got it. Thanks

It certainly isn't my job to defend her or apologize for her failed drug test. Nor can I make any claim about her being clean today, but that goes for every other runner in this race and every other.
She did have a very good year in triathlon, marathons and won the Zion 100 Miler. She could have been tested, or she could have expected that she might be. I don't find a recent test in the USADA database (I see 6 total tests for her).

Having paced and crewed at this race 2x, I can confirm the above is true.
As my friend said "he is the fat nerdy kid who lost 20 lbs, got a little bit of power and now thinks he's the man"

If she suspected there will be testing, she just got off the stuff a few weeks ago so she will come out clean and everyone who doubts her will be considered haters.

You guys must just love all the 12:40(ish) 5,000 meter times in the last year.
I can only imagine what you think those guys are up to.

The fact that she is a triathlete that trains in incline and extreme heat regularly has no bearing at all then? Or that she has a top tier coach?
The race at hand Badwater had other athletes and crew claiming a cheat was amongst them last year. Do any of the other 5000m competitors claim that against Aregawi? I havent found anything. I do know that another Aregawi tested positive many years ago though. Would I be shocked with world champions cheating? Not anymore.

The pros are tested randomly out of competition. I have more confidence in the legitimacy of the DL times this year than i have ever had when i see spectacular times run by masters racers.
Badwater just posted Paulson into 2nd overall right about mile 100.
Looks like she’s about 1 minute from the lead. Major re-route of a flatish section of the course due to flooding, but it looks like they’re trying to keep the distance and terrain the same.
Update: now in the lead at Mile 109

No other runner came out and publicly stated she cheated. It was all rumors and anonymous accusations. There were accusations of her not passing runners. Today she ran in a pack for a good portion and they have recorded her passing to get to the lead.
