no like her or the tats.......but I don't think she is a drug cheat
Based on all the evidence, including her defence team arguments, the highest court in sport says otherwise. You prefer these matters are not decided by the responsible authorities on the evidence presented to them?
I think she's bowling under an assumed name:
this is assuming nandrolone is 100% bioavailable, which it isn’t. i know you europeans are busy being xenophobic, hope this toxicologist could help!
Guilty. Testing positive because of meet from a food truck is a ridiculous excuse.
Shelby wouldnt have just been on nandrolone.She had to have been on EPO as well.The two together would explain why she went from 4.07 to 3.54 plus her amazing 5000 time.Steroids will improve a distance runner,but not as much as EPO does.Put the two together,and the improvements are insane.
Wow, this is the response I get to my first ever post on this (or any other running-related ) site.
Silly me for thinking that people attracted to track and field, in general, and distance running, in particular, and who are most likely runners themselves wouldn't be inclined to dehumanize another. Yeah, sure, let's call someone we've never met a skank. Let's call someone a cheat when we don't know that for sure.
The whole thing saddens me to no end. I am the world's worst runner, but I know how hard it is to run hard. I marvel at elite runners like Shelby and others who push themselves to limits I know I am afraid of approaching and, quite honestly, I don't have the guts for. I think of all that work that she has put in since whenever she started. Now, with all that in mind, ponder for a few moments this: suppose she is innocent. My God, all that hard work, and her Olympic dreams and her career are gone, just like that. And, her reputation is in tatters. Part of me hopes she is guilty. Because if she is innocent, the sentence she just got would be completely unbearable, I cannot even process it and I'm not her.
Interesting watching this small Twitter opinion poll that I did.
For the first 80 or so responses it was dead even "yes" she is being honest or "no" she is not being honest about how she had nandrolone in her system. As more information and analysis of the videos was done the opinion began to heavily favour the "no" side.
Did the video statements backfire?

Welcome, sadly, to letsrun. There's some great stuff here but a whole lot of trash too.

I'd like to tally the results from this thread but it ballooned way too fast. I figured maybe 50 responses; never thought it would grow to 300+ in only 3 days. Anybody want to count?
