PS. We didn't put this in the article, but for the record, when Kyle called Jonathan back, he started the interview by squashing the doping rumors.
"That could not be further from the truth relative to doping. That’s not true at all, so not quite sure where that came from."
Then he said this later:
"You have my word, nothing even remotely close [to doping]."
If this turns out to be true (that she actually got caught and that the authorities will admit it), I will have some thoughts to express.
My advice to you, fruitless as it will be, would be to stay quiet and to let this thing play out, and then even if it turns out your previous posts have been right, still stay quiet for a while. Noone likes a braggard. And if it turns out another way, you will look really foolish.

You kinda hit on it. One of their biggest signings is enmeshed in doping rumors. If they’re true, of course you minimize the connection as much as possible. If it’s untrue though you get one of your brands ambassadors out of the mud. It’s more New Balance Boston who would respond, which is maybe the distinction you’re talking about. Bowerman not Nike went in after Shelby’s ban.
I can't remember the last time a notable NB athlete tested positive. They typically sign American women and don't have an African presence. Would be a bad look for them and they would not want this type of discussion to circulate.
I would be extremely shocked if Ms Valby had tested positive for drugs sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please tell me that I'm wrong, somebody please now tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can understand Shelby doping as she was under a dirty Jerry Schumacher, but Mark Coogan????????????????? Simply no way folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not doping, no never!!!!!!! It has to be anthropogenic RF exposure alright please!!!!!!!!!!!
I just saw the interview between Robert, Jonathan and Shelby in the advertisements and I must admit Shelby is super personable and convincing in her manner and elocution!!!!!!! She is also quite attractive to the naked eye!!!!! Seriously when she speaks, she would effortlessly fool me or anyone into believing she had always been a clean athlete despite not being one you feelin me?????????????????

It's good advice for anyone. This thing was really started by a poster or two who "heard" something and then when you combine that with a couple of tidbits of circumstantial evidence (deleting instagram, no racing) the thing just blew up. Then you start having insiders saying they have now heard the same thing, well yeah, that's because it blew up on letsrun and elsewhere.
It could be something but it could also be nothing. Best to stay out of it until something concrete, but that's asking a lot.
He also said he confirmed it with two different sources. We will see, but it fits.
Then he deleted the tweet…
He said he deleted the tweet because he didn't want to name the athlete until something more official had come out and LRC boards were citing him and naming the athlete.
I for one am so grateful that an expert on anthropogenic RF pollution has chosen this board of all boards to post! Continue preaching the truth Brother Khamis 🙏
He said he deleted the tweet because he didn't want to name the athlete until something more official had come out and LRC boards were citing him and naming the athlete.
He's also a lawyer and probably knows how those things can play out.......
To paraphrase Dominic Torretto "The internet, you can find anything on anyone"
IF it comes out that she doped.....what does this say about the rest of the sport....when will people wake up to the rampant doping that takes place in our sport at ALL levels.....yes even high school.

If true and she willingly doped, does she get 4 years like Shelby?
Logic suggests Shelby did not purposley take nadronolone.
Unless Logic is one of your Twitch buddies, this is an insane post.
Random but I distinctly remember seeing a twitch stream with centro and logic and a few others over Covid. They were playing Fortnite. Can’t wait to come back to this thread in a few weeks and see who knew what ahead of time
He said he deleted the tweet because he didn't want to name the athlete until something more official had come out and LRC boards were citing him and naming the athlete.
Yet he didn’t have a problem with the numerous replies to his tweet that mentioned her….
He’s clearly not 100% confident in the content of that tweet.
