The problem with Shelby’s suspension is that it covers two Olympic years even though the spirit of the standard four-year doping penalty is to cover just one Olympic year.
The elegant solution to this problem is to let Shelby compete this year so she has the opportunity to qualify for the Olympics, then have her serve the fourth year of her suspension next year. This is the fair thing to do.
Who’s with me? Let’s use this thread as a petition to let Shelby compete this year.
Not good enough. As pointed out numerous times, she is innocent, and the authorities wrong + corrupt + incompetent. Tucker didn't get it either, but our letsrun expert Dr Twoggle Rekrunner with doctorates in Science and Engineering and Statistics and Agriculture and Law and Logic got it right right from the start.
Free Shelby!
Thankfully, none of what any of you say will make a whit of difference.

Yes, it’s a problem for everyone who values fairness in sport. Apparently you don’t care about fairness.
Because I do care about fairness I approve of her penalty. You, on the other hand, adhere to an unsubstantiated belief in the innocence of a convicted drug cheat.

The spirit of the ban should be 25 years, stop the druggies competing completely. That would be fairer for all.
Strutting peacocks are elegant. Chinese lanterns in the night sky are elegant. This solution is about as elegant as the dump i just took
Based on your vulgar post and your unimaginative handle, there is nothing elegant about you.
It’s easy to criticize and insult other people’s ideas. Thinking of solutions to a wicked problem such as Shelby’s unfair suspension requires much more effort and sophistication.

It wasn't an unfair suspension. It was an appropriate penalty.
But I'm waiting for you to make the same arguments for any one of the dozens of Kenyan or Russian dopers.
No, they aren't. That is your view. You won't find it stated in any antidoping decision.
Yes, missing one Olympic year is the spirit of the standard four-year ban. That’s a fact which I already proved to you in another thread. Go back and read that post to educate yourself. Your ignorance is unbecoming.
