"Not really." Well, "really" she is thirty-one. "Either she avoided a drug test or something"--or something: brilliant, simply brilliant. "The lack of integrity we've come to expect from people from Oregon"--which people, do tell? All of them? All runners? The NOP runners? Well, whoever they are, what breaches of integrity can you specifically tell us about. But here's your point: without knowing any of the facts whatsoever, you believe yourself justified to conclude that Moser lacks integrity. What an arrogant and pretentious jackass you are. Here's a suggestion: let's wait to learn why she actually withdraw, for then we might be in a position to assess any culpability she might or might not have. On a related note, people really pay you to coach. The world is an amazing place.

Not really. Either she avoided a drug test or something or she did have an injury and didn't report it in time to give Sarah Brown a decent shot at replacing her. Either way comes down to the lack of integrity we've come to expect from people from Oregon.
But with or without an injury, let's say this person was Russian, Turkish, or Moroccan:
31 years old
7 year PR
improvement after being a multiple national champion previously
5 second improvement in one year
I know what Sprintgeezer would say if she was a sprinter.
The whole thing IS suspicious, injury or no injury.
