2025, presuambly: Unknown athlete #3 tests positive for ???
Wonder who it was. Franklin was the top seed at world U20s last year but got scratched because of her positive test at Jamaican nationals.
First thought was to see what Adaejah Hodge is up to nowadays, haven't heard her name in a minute. She didn't run for Georgia this indoor season but she turned 18 last May so if she tested positive at the Olympics or U20 champs it would've been made public. Probably just taking indoors off after a long year.
Asinga was on the TAMU roster the year after he got banned, so even if she tested positive she might still be listed on the Georgia roster.
That said, the 22.33 she ran a few years back was weird as hell. Never approached anything like it again. I mean... 22.33 indoors. Thats so damn fast lmao. Would win SECs most years.
Is this what passes for journalism these days? If it gets Houlihan's college wrong, an easily Google-able fact, why should I trust anything it says?
No it's not journalism and we've busted interns for using chatGPT both of the last 2 years instead of verifying facts. You've got to know your stuff.
But if you don't know much about GW1516 and want an overview, it is really good. Did you read it? Then I was having fun with the nandro and Shelby thing.

Feel free to correct me but USADA will announce a minor that gets a doping suspension. It may have to go all the way through the process.

It was a fun read. But Grok was a bit stupid by (only?) repeatedly considering a nandro injection as doping method, something that was ruled out rather quickly by the authorities. Plus yes the Stanford thing of course.
Word of advice: before you start cooking your own GW1516, check the original source. Grok may overlook that you have to filter or stir or heat or wait 2 hours between 2 steps.
Yeah, what a shocker . . . a cheating coach at a cheater school -- that recruits from around the country and beyond -- gets caught cheating! . . . Not one person in the Florida High School Track & Field community is one bit surprised. Of course, his wife is the AD at Montverde, and they have the support of the FHSAA in Gainesville and some influential people in Tallahassee, so they have been able to cheat and recruit for years and can still compete in the FHSAA state series in T & F with no consequences. At least IMG admit up front that they recruit and accept the consequences by not competing in the Florida HS post-season. Montverde are just as bad but somehow they get a pass.
Who's to say that all these HSers running insane times every year aren't taking PEDs? Especially in Texas, it's absolutely ridiculous. HSers are guilty
Who's to say they are? You've managed to accuse every high school athlete who has run an "insane" time of doping. FYI- Texas has a long history of having fast sprinters, it's nothing new.
Be careful of labeling and or accusing people of something you have zero evidence of. The ones that get caught...Ban for LIFE!!! Otherwise, you're just speculating, and that doesn't help solve the problem.
Montverde gets to be in with Florida public schools?! Lol. Well Im moving us back up to #4 in indoor 4x4 list haha(at least in my mind) but its sad and worrying for those kids. I thought that was a new athletic factory school actually but I think they've only blown up nationally in the last couple years sigh. No shortcuts- coaches be patient and help kids. Everyone up to and including Quincy Wilson is developmental in HS anyway.
Ironically, Cardarine is widely available in pure powder form and theoretically could have been given to the athletes without their knowledge mixed in a gatorade cooler or something similar. Not saying it was, but I wouldn't put it past a shady coach seeking glory and future opportunities.
This is not a coincidence. Personally I think every coach we suspended when an athlete of theirs is caught doping but having three found at the same substance is systemic.
It is no difference than US postal doping as a team and it should be punished with equal severity.
I just went down a rabbit hole with Grok about GW1516 and nandrolone. Originally I was just editing Jon's article and after a back and forth with Jon on coach Phiri's Montverde bio listing him as a PURE Athletics coach and googling a ton, I asked Grok about that it before going down the GW1516/nandro rabbit hole. Don't take it as fact (for example it said Shelby Houlihan went to Stanford) but I found it informative for people who don't know about doping and these products.
Grok conversation here: for those curious (I tried to get Grok to help me make GW1516 at end:))
(It even said it thinks a contaminated supplement is the most likely scenario for Shelby)
Just because Pure is the preeminent group in Clermont doesn't mean there are not smaller clubs/teams in that area. Groups of anywhere from 1+ people often call themselves a "team" - print a tee shirt or two or not even that just come up with a team name and declare you are on that team. Phiri could have been working with those types of athletes. Just playing Devil's Advocate here, anything is possible.

Sad. I had been skeptical that a sprinter would use GW1516, but it appears that way now. In theory the athletes might not have known, but that may also be too optimistic.
