Who does she mean when she says WADA hasn't tested her because USADA certainly has?

USADA needs to get on top of those 2024 numbers. Testing needs to ramp up in the lead up to her return.
This is a pretty disingenuous post. Go to the USADA database and see how many T&F athletes have 0 or 1 test. Having a test yesterday would put her in line with a vast number of athletes who also have (at most) only one test.
I still think all of Bowerman was given some sort of 'supplement' and they got her levels wrong. So she doesn't think anything happened, but she got too much of the wrong thing.
Not so different from NOP being given 'supplements' to get their various levels as high as they can legally get.

That's because USADA do not test much in Olympic year.
AIU got Houlihan and have stopped Hocker doping.They are the ones to watch.

I just get sick of all this mental gymnastics and speculation. Why is it so hard to believe she intentionally cheated when all concrete evidence we have points in that direction? Why don't we do this for anyone else who is caught?
Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I run from you This tainted burrito you've given I give you all a boy could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all Tainted burrito (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted burrito
She cheated and got caught. Stop blaming the system. She’s been proven wrong as it was impossible for her not to take those drugs. It’s so annoying she can’t just come clean
If she was going to come clean, she should have done so in January 2021. It is way, way too late to do so now. There might even be have some legal consequences from Nike and WA. After Armstrong came clean, the U.S. Postal Sevice went after him.
And at this point, honestly, what’s in it for her to admit doping? Most don’t believe her story but there’s always been a few who do. The people who don’t believe her won’t suddenly like her if she comes clean; if you think an admission and apology would change anything, you haven’t been paying attention to how people operate. The doping ban will end whether she comes clean or not, so there’s no compelling interest for her to stop telling the same old story.
If more athletes were getting suspended for meat positives we’d hear about it regardless of how good they are. This isn’t a large community. It doesn’t happen. Also, keep in mind that Shelby’s numbers lined up perfectly with the nor-dhea that Ross tucker was able to find on Amazon. Shelby must be unaware just how “caught” she really is.
idk what she gains from all this baseless lying. No one believes her. No one considers her a victim.
Strange that you end and ruin your post with a couple of sentences you know aren’t true: “No one believes her. No one considers her a victim”. -If you use arguments like that, don’t you understand that you only strengthen your opponent’s case..?
So to your claim that “If more athletes were getting suspended for meat positives we’d hear about it..” Well, we have heard about it (oral nandrolone pops) -Wada’s expert witness prof Ayotte told CAS that several other athletes have tested positive for that kind of nandrolone (that either can be in contaminated pig meat or in pill form).
And to your “Shelby’s numbers lined up perfectly…” that’s the opposite of what some experts said in the hearings…
She is wrong there of course. But who expects a drug cheat to speak the truth? The food and supplement industries are being checked (at least here), and so are the WADA labs (see the recent problems in Nairobi).
Plus any AIU "decisions" can get double and triple checked if the athlete so chooses: first by the Disciplinary Tribunal, then by CAS, and finally by the Swiss Supreme Court. She should remember that!
Shelby and Pascal worked together and cheated at BTC. Will Pascal continue to this trend at Puma with those athletes.
I can see Pascal Dobert and Shelby Houlihan will working together after her ban is up. After all Pascal helped her cheat a needs to stay loyal.
Meh, she kind of has to stick with the story at this point. Not like she's going to suddenly roll it back and admit guilt this close to being reinstated, and I suspect most people have already made their minds up either way.
Post just reads like she's just going through the motions to stay on people's radar and maintain the support she does have until she's allowed to compete again. I personally think she'd be better off if she just kept it to training/TTing and saved herself the social media circus since there's nothing new being brought to the table, but if she wants to yell into the void that's her call I guess.

Unlike those other athletes she's been banned for doping so should be target tested especially in the lead up to her return.
