Fat people should be categorized in the eating disorder sphere as well. No offense intended.
I say this all the time - it's about impact, not intent. IDGAF about what you're thinking, the world doesn't exist inside your brain. There's more to consider.
I am a doctor who has treated many patients with eating disorders. I also have a family member who had serious ED and am closely familiar with the patient 'community.'
NOBODY refers to healthy management of ED as being "clean."
This is plainly an idiosyncratic usage, if not an outright bizarre choice in the context of a sport where the word actually does have another well understood meaning.
Anyone saying this is 'nothing' needs to give their head a shake.
My read on her use of "clean", in the context of disordered eating, is a just implying a shift to orthorexia so she can get some cover. Soooooo many people that tout their recovery from EDs are really, really obsessed with clean eating. hmmmmmmmmmm
Listend to the Hurdle Podcast and pretty irritated by how Molly talks about "wants to see what she can do when she is clean". I know she is referring to her ED but why using "clean" of all phrases. The entire episode makes me wonder whats really going on.
Molly Seidel deals with ED? Never would I have thought Erectile Dysfunction would impact her…huh, didn’t see that one coming.
Leave it to LRC pedants to overanalyze a perfectly harmless, innocuous statement.
I firmly and affirmatively do not believe any elite American or World athlete to be clean and I stand by it. I don't believe any statement nor declaration to be innocuous at that level.

Did the interviewer not ask, "Molly, what do you mean by being 'clean'?" If not, that's a complete dereliction of duty.
Yes, the host of the Hurdle Podcast absolutely performed a "dereliction of duty" by not asking that follow-up question. I am thankful that the clear and necessary duties that come with the role of "host of the Hurdle Podcast" are being enforced on this message board.

Clean is an unusual phrase here.
Better/Well/on-track/in a better place/more with it/centered/whole/at peace with myself
All of the above would reflect the positive self talk and transcendence from a disorder.
