That's highly unlikely becasue she is only a 52x 400m runner; there are at least half dozen better options.

Yes, an old Ted Williams hit .388 in 1957 - right around the time that the first steroids were being tested by Dr. Ziegler. But I'm sure he was clean.

I don't think anyone would mind that if she was so inclined.
But Debbie Dunn was the alternate, and the other spot on the 4X4 in the finals will go to Felix. So nothing changes for the finals. Dunn probably would have run in Felix' spot in qualifying.
They can choose anyone in the Olympics and put them on the relay. It's not nearly as hard to be running in the 4X4 than the 4X1 but I think Alysia would need to volunteer and go to the relay camp.

NO TOUCHING! haha
Have the women historically used the 400IH runners as the men have?
It would actually be a pretty tight 400 race between Montano and Demus. Demus has run 51-low and Montano has run 52-low. Alysia Montano is THAT fast.
But, now, get this. I was at a meet at UCLA in 2009 when Carmelita Jeter RAN DOWN Demus in the home straight in a 400. It was I think 53.3 in March, so not quite fast enough to make the IAAF list for the event and thus not in Jeter's IAAF bio. And Demus went on to run I think the 4th fastest 400IH ever run that year.
The Women can use Demus, but they have other even faster options.

Why don't you just spell out the coach's name - not everyone knows your stupid ass abbreviations. You're not cool for using them, tool.
Lance Bauman, douche. Former Arkansas sprint coach. now coaching Jamaican athletes in Clermont, FL.

It's Lance Brauman, convicted embezzler.
Ted Williams was mexican? what?
.388 in the 1950's is nothing compared to a 49 400 for a woman.
She came out of nowhere in 2009. I'm not surprised at all.
A testosterone / epi ratio over 4:1 is considered elevated. In most men, the ratio is 1:1, and it is less than 1:1 in women.
is that just for women or both sexes ??
kinda strange it's hat high before it counts as "elevated"

No he's not. Serenity now!
I swear to God, just one time I'd like to see an athlete caught doping just go, "Yeah. You got me. Sorry." They always deny it.

Weasels are consistent in character.
There was Leshawn Merritt, who admitted to taking a bogus male enhancement product. Dumb and small, I guess.
