Shelby Houlihan back training at Nike “Restrictions end Thursday”

yeah, i guess if men can menstruate cows can produce wild boar testicle meat. my bad.

We saw testimony that she ate a greasy burrito, and that the carne asada beef burrito is dry, while the pork burritos are extremely greasy.

Ah yes - the "greasy burrito" testimony - right up there with the "if it doesn't fit you must acquit.." in terms of hard-hitting and legendary all-time American trial moments.

"And despite the copious amounts of grease, she still bit into the heaving melting pot of cheese, beans, peppers and extremely expensive steroid raised boar offcuts from Mexico - incorrectly marketed as carne asada yet still consumed by the unwitting damsel, thus only a day later throwing her into a cloud of nandrolone suspicion that ultimately she was unable to shake...."

thank you Alex. 👏

There is no way in haites a world class runner would down a whole disgustingly greasy burrito. No Way

Haites? Who said it was disgusting? A chorizo burrito sounds good. But in any case, apparently she could only eat about 3/4ths of it. It's a shame she didn't freeze it and keep it for testing.

buttt... 3/4 of it wasn't enough to ping the numbers she racked up.

That's one of the many things many people get wrong.

According to Prof. Ayotte's published research, ingesting as little as 14 grams, or half an ounce, or 1/12th of a burrito, with pork offal, is enough to ping the numbers she racked up.

You got that wrong. Again.

This is not possible if the only pork ingredient was, as in this case, outer stomach muscle.

The sad part is that you have read that now a million times, but you keep distracting.

There were no testicles etc in there. Even Shelburrito never pretended that. But you have no limits and no shame.

I double checked the math -- it was correct. 3/4ths of a greasy pork burrito containing intact pork offal is more than enough to produce results far far greater than Houlihan's, according to values published in the literature. Just 14g, or half an ounce, of chopped liver, heart, kidneys, salivary glands, cooked in intact boar lard would do it.

Who said "the *only* pork ingredient" was stomach? Not team Houlihan. Even you said "pork butt boneless" and the CAS report mentioned chorizo and fat. Recall the claim all along was pork offal, or pig offal, in a burrito, as both Houlihan and the CAS told us, and as you've been told a million times.

Did you also catch that Prof. Ayotte published a study which found, in addition to 130 ng/ml, a CIR value of -22.43 per mille, from the consumption of Canadian boar offal. She told the CAS her experience was -18.5 to -21 per mille, in Canada? Who is fact-checking her testimony? A panel of lawyers? Ross Tucker?

You keep trying to limit the discussion to what Houlihan argued, and/or what she failed to argue, as if that represents the entire universe of what can be known. My search for relevant facts is not so artificially constrained and goes beyond what Team Houlihan was able to argue with the little knowledge they started with and the little evidence they could collect in the short time that they had. For example, it also extends to what seasoned researchers such as Prof. Ayotte have published in peer reviewed papers, and contemporaneous information about the pork industry during COVID-19.

Team Houlihan said that for the offal, yes indeed. You read it too. But instead of pulling back with your kidney nonsense, you went on and on about my typo (2/18 instead of 2/19). Well played, lol.

To recap: According to the food truck owner, their pig burritos contained either stomach from Tyson (yes, the only pork ingredient for the offal - that's why everyone only discussed stomach as potential nandrolone source in 107 - 109) or butt from Farmland Foodservices (for the Chorizo). You read it! Wth...

To recap for the slow minds and stupid trolls: Chorizo is not a mystery ingredient in the offal, but it's a dish that - as you just admitted - was never claimed as potential nandrolone source. Therefore it was not considered, not by Team WA in 107, not by Team Houlihan in 108, not by CAS in 109.

Fat either comes from the pork meat bought (and therefore cannot add extra mystery nandrolone) or as an addition from the supermarket (then not from pork, thus without nandrolone). Therefore it was not considered, not by Team WA in 107, not by Team Houlihan in 108, not by CAS in 109.

Of course the discussion should be about Houlihan's burrito and what she argued. If you now want to come up with yet another rekrunner'esque unique claim that she was misleading the experts by secretly eating kidneys from wild boar and pretending it was stomach from farm-fed boar so she'd get banned, knock yourself out. But then blame her, not the experts.

I read what you wrote and what she wrote, and they are quite different. You added words and new interpretations. One key word you keep using which I have read nowhere else, including both 2/18 and 2/19 entries, is "only". That seems to be your personal fabrication. Similarly, I have not read that "chorizo" is only made of butt from Farmland Foodservices -- again that seems to be your own personal fabrication.

Chorizo is pork sausage. Sausage can contain many things. Chorizo is not a mystery ingredient in "the offal", but several kinds of "offal" can be mystery ingredients in chorizo. And just for your mind, chorizo is surely an ingredient in a "chorizo (pork sausage) burrito".

Now you say fat comes from the supermarket, and thus is not from pork? That's new. Where can I find that link? Where is pork lard or tallow from then, if not pork? Or is that just another personal fabrication? Recall Prof McGlone explicitly identified "fat" as a high nandrolone source.

As Team Houlhan never communicated "pork stomach and butt are the *only* pork ingredients" to the WA/AIU, and did communicate "pig offal" and "pork offal" (see 1/20 and paragraphs 8, 9, 42, 59, 72, 94), as well as "fat" and "chorizo", there is really no comprehensible explanation for them to focus the rebuttal exclusively on the parts they already know to be low in nandrolone, and ignore the more likely sources of nandrolone.

Even if we limit it to what Houlihan argued, she still argued "offal" and "fat" and "chorizo", something you correctly realized that Team WA failed to fully address. Far from Houlihan misleading the experts (as she claimed "offal" from the very beginning), a fair question is whether the experts gave the CAS complete and/or inaccurate information. We can test that by comparing their testimony to the CAS to data published in their own papers, and in contemperanous articles describing disruptions to the pork industry during COVID-19.

Per Karissa Schweizer IG story, Houlihan appears to currently be at a BTC training camp somewhere tropical, running alongside Mo Ahmed, Sean McGorty, Karissa.

EDIT: Turns out it's Ryan Hill and Emily Pritt's wedding in Mexico. Carry on...

Random question

Does anyone know if Nike permits the public to train on their grounds? Shelby has done tons fo workouts on Nike's campus, I am curious.

Haha you just answered your own question.

As proven by Shelby, the public may now use the Nike facilities.

See you there!

I eat a lot of burritos… I’ve had dry AND greasy carne asada.

I thought the Houlihan camp even gave up on the burrito excuse?

Good for you.

There are many people who thought many things.

I think she said she, like everyone else, didn't really know where it came from, and still doesn't. A likely source was never established by anyone.

The problem with the current Code is that it obliges innocent athletes who don't know the source, to try and establish the most likely source with specific and concrete elements. This is not always possible, especially when the athlete is not sure, and the best evidence has long been consumed or discarded. If the innocent athlete cannot meet that burden, they are presumed to be and treated like intentional cheats and railroaded to a 4-year ban.

Hooray for justice.

Nikes track is not open to the public, so the fact she’s been training there since her ban should tell you enough.

but Nike isn’t what it used to be so I wonder if they’d support her once the ban is up
