Did you really just make the Lance Armstrong defense? Lol. What cancer did to Lance was making him ruthless.
Astro, she was 10. This is nothing like Lance Armstrong. Even Rojo would say you crossed a line and he is an Ivy League Hack. The only thing ruthless about Addy Wiley is her 1:57.46 speed we are about to see again on Friday.
I will give you my prediction. She will run fast but not fast enough to get into AIU's elite testing pool. She will continue to dope to try to make the Olympics. Then the screws will start to tighten and she will lack the discipline to lift the foot off the gas pedal.
Addy Wiley had cancer as a child. Having gone through that hell why on earth would she put any substance into her body that could bring back the cancer? No one would, not even for an Olympic Gold Medal.
She is not even in the elite testing pool. Again it took over 150 tests where she was being targeted to finally nab Houlihan. If you are not in the elite testing pool, there is zero to prevent an athlete from doping to the hilt. That was what this Europe trip is about.
Are you sure she isn’t in the elite testing pool? She did just run 1:57.46. USATF bumped her to tier one from what I am hearing, and testing pools evolve with performances. I can’t name another 1:57.46 runner not in the testing pool. I think your excuses have all run out Astro. Make sure not to watch the 1500 on Friday alone.
She ran that days ago. With doping the hay is already in the barn weeks ago. Even being in the testing pool that will not prevent doping, but if I am cynical then she and her coaches would have cycled to get maximum speed on this Euro dash, calculated to run very fast times to attract a contract, then take a break.
My impression was that she also cycled in the build up to the trials, just based on the times.

She gets and survives cancer at 10. You claim she was doping by her freshman year of high school. She is a 19 year old college freshman, so that means she was doping by 14 or 15 after having cancer at age 10? None of this adds up.
I see you and Astro are the same kind of scientists. If you are not making this up to double down on your position pay better attention at your next appointment to what your doctors are doing. Better yet, ask them if they would notice PEDs in your system. Perhaps one day you too can be a survivor with a bright future like Addy Wiley if you start taking your care more seriously.

She’s not in the AIU RTP, though the 1:57 is her first performance that would land her there. It also takes time as Narve Nordas isn’t in it yet for instance.

She ran 4:26 in high school based on one thing, doping. It was a completely out of the blue, anamolous time.
I’m not sure why I’m bothering to respond to you since no one will deter you from your obsessed agenda to discredit Wiley as much as possible, but for those you are not familiar with her HS record and have not made up their minds about her, here are some facts to consider:
Her freshman year she ran 2:10.15 and 4:46.93 (1600, 1st place in state meet). Her 1600 time was the fastest in the country for her class and was a state record. By comparison, Tuohy ran 4:48 for the mile and 2:12h her frosh year.
Wiley lost her soph year due to covid. Her junior year she ran 1600 4:45.77 indoors (2nd fastest in US) and 4:38.14 outdoors for the mile, which was the fastest time in the US among all HS girls. Tuohy ran 4:46 her junior year.
And, of course, we all know she ran 4:26 (1600) as a senior. Nevertheless, all 3 of the years she competed in HS she had the fastest time in her class, or overall, in either the 1600 or mile. I would hardly say that her time was “completely out of blue”.
Oh please. Still playing this game? A 4:46 1600m was a good but not particularly great time. It is comparable to what good high school runners run every single year. Look them up. Btw Tuohy ran 4:45 in the mile her freshman year, not 4:48, and that was before she really hit her stride. Despite injury she also ran a 4:39 indoor mile at the Millrose prelim her junior year, not 4:46, which she ran before shutting down her junior outdoor season. If you are going to "bother to respond", at least have a clue about what you are claiming.
By Wiley's junior year she was being coached by the Johnsons. Putting that side, a 4:38 mile was very good, although all the top milers in the super show era are all running faster. Bottom line, despite your deficient claims, that 4:26 1600m was a full ten (10) seconds faster than her previous pr and was clearly a very anomalous time. So yes, out of the blue. And no, running a good 1600m time as a freshman does not explain it at all.
When someone says that a person is on track to run a time, that is partially a subject statement (owing to what does "on track" mean). That is why I am asking you what you believe a normal progression would be from Soph to Sr year. I know it may be hard for you to understand.
Also, you're a MORON who doesn't understand that a 1600 is enroute to a mile. So, when Webb ran a 3:53 MILE, he passed 1600 in 3:51.
No, he didn't. 9m at that speed is 1.4sec. So he ran 3:52 en route to 3:53.4.
Please stop making a mockery of our sport. Collegiate distance running is the last chance for young, innocent athletes, or those not yet willing to cheat, to still compete on a relatively even playing field. You are in the process of ruining what's left to love about amateur track and cross-country running.
You've already opened Pandora's Box at the HS level, setting one virtually unbreakable record and demoralizing an entire generation of young female distance runners in the process. And now you're clearly at it again in the NAIA. Sadly, history has shown us that a failed test is extremely unlikely to happen at your current level.
Anyone who has raced, coached, or closely followed track for more than a few years understands what is going on here. The rest are either completely green, remain blissfully ignorant, or are blinded with delusional optimism that you are indeed the Chosen One.
There is no magic in you, your coaches, your training, or Huntington University. It's no secret who you've willingly worked with and what they've done in the past. Perhaps you've been brainwashed by your coaches and enablers, but you still hold power to fix this.
Please come clean (or don't) and stop. Or just go pro now and dope all you want -- we've already lost that battle. Your actions are affecting every young, clean athlete, and the fans still trying to love this dying sport.
Sincerely, A fan and former NCAA 800m All-American
Sadly, if pro's are doping - like you say - that will mean some ambitious college athletes will follow their example.
