Once again, this just proves some people should just keep their mouths shut.
She's basically saying "yeah I know I also cheated" - just not "intentionally". Which of course if you subscribe to the supplement theory with her (that she was taking precursor supplements that she massively overdid/got caught out by testers tipped off to ping her on the right day), totally lines up. "I wanted an advantage, I just didn't mean for it to be that much".
I guess still in her head she doesn't think that's worthy of being banned. People tell themselves what they want to believe.
I do agree though that Chepng'etich getting 2 years is laughable given the circumstances where she clearly went out of her way to incinerate any traces of what she was really taking. That there is far more destructive/detrimental to the sport and should almost be worthy of a lifetime ban. But these are the rules - and Shelby, if you too had just accepted your fate the first time around you would have also had only 2 years and not sat out the prime of your career. But everybody has choices.
