They have set up this 'puppet show' to be the only game in town, and it puts the athlete (puppets) in situations of extreme disadvantage and unfairness.
And the clean athletes that miss out on teams, medals, dollars due to finishing behind dopers are not disadvantaged?
All of the puppets participating in the puppet show are disadvantaged, some more than others.

Ok, why did no one think of this: assuming she was tested at 7am, that means she would have needed to eat at 9pm. The taco truck in question closes at 6pm. So they would have had to test her at 4am for that to work?

Where did they say that's the cart in question? That cart doesn't even serve pork offal (buche) and is closed on Mondays, when she allegedly bought the burrito.

Especially in Portland where it's very normal to eat at food carts. They are inspected same as restaurants.

I keep reading people say Shelby Houlihan is innocent. This is not a claim of guilt or innocence you fools, it’s a binary blood test not a trial.
Did the blood test detect a banned substance,? Yes it did. That would simply be a blood test that is positive for banned substance, not a guilt verdict by a jury.
Get a frigging clue. The steroid was either there or it wasn’t.
So what ; nothing enough to prove a cheat
The tests are not binary they are subject to the opinion of such as Ayotte.
And it was not a blood test.
Read stuff prior to posting.

Yes - that was too much of an open-and-shut case.
I'm in southern France right now and just now had a galette for lunch that had eggs, tomato coulis, emmenthal cheese, andoullie sausage, and what to my surprise turned out to be boar offal. Having eaten a few bites of the offal before giving up, I can say with 100% certainty that there is no mistaking offal for anything else. It bear no resemblance to meat of any kind and has a residual flavor of the body part from whence it came.
She is innocent.
