Shayla Houlihan Out

where's the confirmation? She's still on their coaches page,

No. You are looking at track. She just changed her Instagram and the cross country coach page was taken down.

Also serious question....

How do you get fired after only a year?

If it was performance you get multiple years. She either left voluntarily or was doing some sketch?

I think that she quit due to no distance scholarships and to coach her sister.

Sound like you've never been on or around a college program. Assistant coaches change quite often.

Eric Knighton tests positive for Trenbolone in March 26th, is allowed to run the trials in June (plenty of other examples from US atheltes). Shelby has similar test, gets BANNED for 4 years. This is unbelieveably unfair, and the whole things should be looked into.

Diljeet Taylor? Laurie Henes?

You do realize that if you can’t afford a brief vacation within the US over a public holiday while briefly unemployed you’ve made some serious fvck ups in life right?

not really-Shelbo should have sucked it up and admitted it and she would have a 3 year ban and had a chance at Paris...

The general public would treat it as a dog park and let their dogs crap everywhere, and people would ride their bikes on it and put bike tire ruts on the course. It wasn't exactly funded by the public, it was mostly from a large donation by Bill and Jim Ashton who ran cross country there and became successful engineers.

Well WADA is looking into USADA's actions with respect to Knighton. Outcome is yet unknown. Maybe CAS will get to decide like in Shelburrito's case.

As you know, CAS and the Swiss Supreme Court already looked into the Shelburrito case, and the ban was confirmed.

Who would sponsor her again after that? In a business sense it is much better to be accused than admitted.

True. She will come back with a vengeance and huge Nike sponsorship. Her sister will build her reputation by coaching a woman who will set several American records.

First, she was convicted and banned for intentional doping, at several levels by several independent bodies, not just accused.

Second, clearly Nike doesn't care either way. Lots of dopers have come back after their ban, and had no trouble getting a sponsor.

Maybe for Shayla despite her meager salaries, but what about Shelbo? DoorDash and GoFundMe making her lifestyle happen?

Families have money.

How do you know that?
