Silent ban? What's going on?

And it's weird. I follow her and many other runners in her track club (m11), and throughout the offseason she was in all the training clips. Then right before she is about hold her self-named Keely Classic, she pulls out with an injury. Then afterward, once again, she was in all the training clips. Then she suddenly pulls out of Stockholm Diamond League a couple days before the meet. Now she has silent pulled out of Pre but was in an m11 training clip running clip just a couple of days ago. Not sure what is going on.
It really isn’t difficult to figure out what is happening here….

Painter is trying to match Kersee in head games? The ol' rope-a-dope, you pull out, I'll pull out routine? Duckin' n divin', trouble n strife? Straight brass tacks, guv.

Well she is training therefore she's not taking fitness for granted. I think she'll be in World's and in peak form.

Not meaning to go after you personally - but can someone actually enlighten me. Is there any evidence that so-called "silent bans" actually exist in T&F?
I am not talking about not disclosing provisional suspensions which are under appeal - I think, on balance, that is kosher since athletes, like anyone else, should be entitled to the presumption of innocence.
Can anyone point to a specific case where an athlete has been banned, unsuccessfully exhausted their right to an appeal, and had the ban kept secret?
I keep on seeing people referring to these "silent bans" and it seems like conventional wisdom on these message boards that they exist, but do we have any actual concrete evidence of this?

The "silent ban" was created on this message board and only exists here.

Yes, because she told us already - she's injured.

I know Laura Muir had a calf injury earlier this year but she's been MIA as well.
Faith Kipyegon made laura muir irrelevant back in 2016.

I wonder if there will be hundreds of posts criticizing her and her coach, the way there are about Mu and Kersee.
A 4:10 1500m rust-buster in May, later followed by an early July 2:03 800m opener (over two months before championships) is a hell of a lot better than not even being able to race.

Keely was on the Faith broadcast more than Faith herself. Nike must be happy enough.

Ran 2:03.4 in a low-key meet in Oslo. Not exactly a good sign she’ll make team GB, but GHB going 800 would help her.

When Nike has an athlete signed, they will try to squeeze water from a stone even if they athlete is doing poorly as in Athing and Keeley lately.
Milking come face time from an athlete too injured or unfit to race is a good example of that.

Now confirmed that she'll be missing London next week. Disappointing but not surprising.
I'm not sure why she or her team are so reluctant to give a clearer update on her status

The messaging seems a bit misleading. Delayed her opener to be more race-ready? Exactly what races are there in the Nationals window? Full statement here is better, targeting race at end of monthThis post was edited 2 minutes after it was posted.00

She doesn't need to compete at nationals. UKA will obviously select her if she's remotely fit for Tokyo, that's why they retain discretionary places.
More immediately, the London DL is starting to look like a bit of a bust. Jakob gone, Keely gone. Only Hassan confirmed for the 5k and, much as I think she's great, she's not the draw on the track that she was. So far, there's only Hassan, Kerr and Lyles confirmed. There's meant to be Aussies in the 1500, and I'm sure Mills and Gourley will be there as well. But we're lacking some star power as it stands

Femke is in too, but yeah they've lost some names. Agree on UKA just was annoyed by the vague timelines until now.
