It's sad when a grown ass woman uses twitter in a passive aggressive manner. It's one thing if it's some random but this is a professional athlete. Grow the f**k up and say who it is or keep your mouth shut.

Does anyone know who Sheila Reid's tweet was about?

"A coach here is "protesting" his athlete's drug test. Waiting to hear his argument."

Nope, I was faster, smarter and I wasn't a shewolf in a lambsuit.

How many NCAA titles did you have and how many Olympics were you in?

What was reported? wrote:

Then a later post says she reported it to USADA - what was there to report if she knew nothing? Seems like reports like this detract from the end objective.

If you have no facts what would you expect the USADA to do.

USADA can follow up with meet management and try to corroborate the story.

y'all are a bunch of idiots. how can you guys possibly be attacking Reid just because she is stating what she saw on twitter? None of you know if she notified USADA (she said she did but didn't mention details).

Second, even if she did know who the guy was, it could be a bad idea to mention his name on a public forum. could be defamation, slander, etc.

let's just hope that she did what she could. she said she reported it to USADA, but wouldn't the coach have already directly involved USADA by protesting?

USADA won't do anything. Lance was right, Travis was about catching Lance, not about cleaning sport. Just watch as Salazar happily coaches in Rio.

Like they usually do.

Holy horse load of crap this thread is.

Tweeting from people like Reid have you guys this wound up? Spend your energy more wisely and something might actually turn around in this sport.

of a an attention seeking kid. Doing a public service.

(2) Athletes RARELY act alone and yet I see their dubious associates free to prey on the next meal ticket. Ban predatory coaches and agents.

Sheila Reid ‏@shewolfruns · 4h4 hours ago

I'm sorry to disappoint the lynch mob but I don't know the name of the coach/agent/associate. This speaks to a prevailing problem, however.."

Calls out unnamed coach then refers to those who want to "know the name of the coach/agent/associate" as "the lynch mob", WTF does she expect! Does anyone know this woman, is she all there?

WTF, she stirs up the mob with a nothing baseless no name tweet and then complains about them. And people defend her by accusing LRC posters of baseless posts. It's a crazy world.

If you know something Sheila, even just a little something rumor, it's smart just to report it to the relevant authority. Stay off social media about it until you have something concrete that you can't get hauled in to court over.

At the moment you're just coming over as another attention seeking show pony.

Finished low so find something to make an issue about. POOR BABY!

Someone responded to her and Magness that it might be the winner of the Men's mile. Don't know if they were referring to bowerman or national. BTW...so what if the complained about drug testing, it does not prove guilt.

Dude, it is obvious that your brain doesn't work right, but can you please explain why you think it is a baseless post? She sees a coach or agent arguing that an athlete should not be drug tested. This seems like a problem - no? So what is the problem with drawing attention to this situation?

She also reported it to the proper people.

The whole reason cycling was so dirty for so long was due to omertà - no one said anything about anything.

Go figure out why you are so bitter towards Reid and fix yourself - you are sad.

Dude, one of the reasons "cycling was so dirty for so long" was because there was so much baseless hear say and innuendo it got to the point where it was ignored and just became background noise. The term 'put up or shut up' comes to mind (preferably to the relevant authority) if you want to be taken seriously. Otherwise, you're just going to be seen as a whiner, attention seeker, big noter, whatever.

Here's a simple definition of baseless for you:

1. without foundation in fact.

"baseless allegations"

So, according to you, she believes "She sees a coach or agent arguing that an athlete should not be drug tested." No context, no other side of the story, no comment from any officials involved, no comment from other people who may have been around, etc, etc, but she sees something and posts about it on social media. I wonder how many and which athletes/coaches/agents are now getting their reputations besmirched because of the ensuing speculation. FFS just report it to the relevant authority, WTF don't you understand about that, DUDE.

So what you're saying is that she might have been mistaken and this coach was actually arguing how his coffee was made, nothing to do with a drug test?

Why do you people always side with cheats?

You're the reason why the sport is ruined.

Yeah she made the statement as if it was fact.

Attention oar.

Another friggin idiot (and I realize you're trolling). What I'm saying is that she should report to the relevant authority what she believes she saw, otherwise posting such things on social media elicits moronic comments like:

"So what you're saying is that she might have been mistaken and this coach was actually arguing how his coffee was made, nothing to do with a drug test?"

and just becomes baseless background noise that no one takes seriously and makes the sport a joke in the eyes of the public not to mention innocent "athletes/coaches/agents" possibly "getting their reputations besmirched".

Jonathan, how would you feel if you or one of your athletes were one of the "innocent "athletes/coaches/agents" possibly "getting their reputations besmirched" by innuendo?
