Journalist: Shelby Houlihan Says a Burrito Ended her Olympic Career. I Set Out to Find It

Carne asada and carnitas are very different. Carnitas are slow cooked, making the meat very soft and stringy. More like a pulled pork or beef stew. Carne asada is grilled marinated meat, usually skirt steak. Texture is closer to a steak you cook on the grill, but thinner strips of meat.

Also, pork stomach is not the offal that has been identified in prior studies that can trigger false positives. It is the liver, kidney and heart that have been linked to false positives.

But they didn’t test the meat for nandrolone levels or test themselves after eating it so this is a giant nothing burrito.

FIFY

Yep.

Truly hard-hitting journalism, I think this is a lock for a Pulitzer.

+1. I don't think anyone here ever really disputed whether there were any food trucks in her vicinity that served organ meat.

Interesting. I posted this same story yesterday, Rojo, and it was deleted by the mods. Then you posted it 8 hours later?

I did some of my own investigating and found the mystery meat vendor:

BTC teammates continue to back her in full force and are very convincing, but the burrito story doesn't add up

Would this be the type of meat used in chorizo?

She found 3 Burrito trucks with 10 miles of the Nike campus that all offered pig offal burritos. If only she'd read the LRC forums, she's have known which one it was (the 3rd one in the article).

There is just soooo much wrong with all the explanations...

1. You ordered a Carne Asada (steak) burrito. If you eat burritos a lot (I f$cking love burritos! Shout out to Irazu and Tony's on Roscoe in Chicago), how the hell can you NOT tell steak from pork??? And if you know pork can cause a positive test......STOP EATING IT.

2. How are you so knowledgeable on uncastrated male pork in under a month? Do you know they order uncastrated pork for their offal???

3. Like Ajee did (Walmart), walk up to that place and get the product to have tested. Did you do that?.......No. Just ask the burrito truck.

4. Get these people who own the truck involved! Fighting for your professional life requires all stops to be pulled out . With NIKE behind you, get all known parties on the record and investigate. Don't release some half a$$ed, YouTube video saying you're sorry.

5. Has USADA, WADA, and anything with 2 or more A's in it been wrong? Yes. So do all you can to show that.

"you could identify the ring-shaped hunks of stomach."

Does this description make sense? Why would stomach offal be ring-shaped?

Stomach or tripe has a honeycomb appearance. With little round circles. Maybe what she’s referring to

Yes, innocuous threads on this subject are routinely deleted by mods and emailing does nothing.

Rojo and Gault, WTF is wrong with you guys? On the podcast you were defending BANNED athletes coming up with ridiculous, illogical excuses to justify clear violation of anti-doping policies. Defending an athlete who WAS already banned once and is now banned AGAIN for YET ANOTHER set of whereabouts violations?

Now consider this gem from Gault (paraphrasing), "USATF must take responsibility for athletes failing anti-doping rules...." Are you kidding me? Since when did USATF/USADA become babysitters? Seriously, GTFO. Yeah GTFO...

It all depends on the evolving legal nature of the relationship between the two.

The more it takes the form of employment elements the more usatf has a duty of care not to have athletes set up for eventual fall.

The world needs more readers and less writers.

If you ordered a carne asada burrito and they served you that, you'd know it right away, and certainly over the course of the entire burrito. Taste, texture, color are all different. People who buy into this excuse are embarrassing themselves.

Did Rojo even read the article he posted? Spoiler: probably not.

It clearly stated 1 of the 3 didn’t have it and you could clearly tell the difference from the other 2. If you’re going to keep feeding into the Shelby is innocent b/c she’s a pretty white girl #AmericanDream, at least back it up with legitimate arguments and not “her story is so bad she’d be stupid to try to pass it off as real if it wasn’t”.

Rojo,

I literally started a thread on this exact article TWO DAYS AGO and the mods TOOK IT DOWN. WTH???
