Nice gold page for her. Hey, Rojo et al, if you want to get the accent in her name, do you know you use the option key plus "e", then another "e"? Ajeé Does it not work in this interface?
She is absolutely clean; I would bet my house on that. Wislon's inadvertent doping by way of eating tainted meat was so clearly an innocent mistake that USADA actually expressed regret about her ban. A USATF senior person told me that no one thinks Wilson intentionally doped and they looked for a way out, but there was no way around the rule. Wilson provided the highest-level clarity, transparency, truthfulness and evidence. Wilson was a junior at Temple University at the time and the route from her classes to her apartment contains a street filled with food trucks, and like most students she periodically ate there. Obviously, she was not like most students and that was her mistake. She was able to provide receipts showing exactually what she ate, how often she ate it and which trucks she ate from. The truck(s) were tested and indeed contained not only dope but the specific chemical marker for the dope found in her system.
Everything about this young lady is extremely down to earth, simple and unpretentious to a point you would never know she was a world-class athlete. She does not drink alcohol, wear makeup, sexy outfits, not even fake nails. Notwithstanding the fact that without a doubt Derek is a great coach, he is a family friend of Wilson's and to the best of my knowledge, Derek has no paper credentials or certifications but most importantly he is trusted. For a period, he was Wislon's age group coach and from what I remember, he was still working as a mailman while coaching several World class athletes. Wilson's has been known to train on the streets, in parking lots and has jumped a number fences to get onto a track. Besides great coaching, most high school athletes have a better training setup than Wilson. In spite of being immensely talented, winning races has never been the end all or be all for her and she never seems bothered about losing as well, which has at times made her look passive. - Plain and simple, this is a person who at that time would not even drink a beer; I cannot imagine her putting a chemical in her body to run faster. Besides, why would a young extremely successful athlete who is progressing entering the prime of their career decide to dope? Based on 4 decades of data, I have a 10-point profile of a likely dirty athlete, Wilson only has one mark against her and that's the fact that she tested positive. Btw, over 90% of pro athletes have at least one mark.

Big deal. AW fastest of a SLOW YEAR, and MISSING Kelly Hodgkinson. Big deal. Also, not even a second faster than the best US HSer this year. Big deal.
The way that race played out, I am not sure Hodgkinson would have won. Hodgkinson has run a faster time, but that does not mean you will win a race. I've watched that WC finals race several times and I suspect Wilson could have easily gone out a half second faster and closed a half second faster in a foot race to the finish line. Wilson does not have good instincts for running fast times simply for the sake of running fast. She never has and probably never will run fast unless she has too. Keep in mind, she has run 1:55x, but runs over 90% of her races 1:58 - 2:00 flat. The few times she has run fast is when the race dictated it.
It was a good win. No * on who was injured on medals

I took out all the fluff in what you wrote, and take a look at what your main points are. Do you realize that your defense of Ajee Wilson looks EXACTLY like the Shelby Houlihan defense?

"Comfort must not be expected by folks that go a pleasuring."
I should start out by saying that I'm very happy for Ajee. Talk about perseverance and a well deserved result.
My question to Rojo; why don't you call her "Drug Cheat" Ajee Wilson?
My question to the Houlihan haters; why don't you pillor Wilson to the same extent as Shelby?
Ajeé was able to procure the meat that had contaminated levels of whatever substance she was charged with. From what I remember, the percentage of the substance in her body corresponded to a normal amount of beef ingested.
Shelby could not find an example of contaminated pork. And from what I've read she would have had to eat way more than a burrito's worth.

Not even close to being the same. Houlihan was up and coming; Wilson was a multiple times global championship medalist when she tested positive. Wilson is arguably the world's greatest youth and junior 800m runner, greatness was assumed and she never improved by more than 5% in a year. Houlihan was a very good NCAA athlete and a national class middle distance runner in the spring of 2018, in a span of 2 years she became one of the top middle-distance runners in the world, with some of best times occurring in meets with no drug testing and during a time period when OCC testing was not being done. Houlihan's rapid improvement, although welcomed, it was surprising. Also, Wilson tested positive for a barely detectable trace amount of dope, she knew what she ate, where she got it from and could prove it. Houlihan tested positive with an amount of dope in her system that would require her to eat many times more tainted meat than she said she did and she was not able to put anything forth to accurately prove her innocence.

I agree with all of that, except for that "Wilson... could prove it".
In addition:
- Houlihan's nandro did not come from commercial pork, as proven by the CIR, while Wilson's zeranol could have come from commercial beef.
- Houlihan also had other androgen levels - in addition to the nandro - elevated, which she couldn't explain with the pork theory - no such problem with Wilson's test.
- Houlihan was banned for four years for intentional doping, Wilson was not.
Love when posts like this don’t get pulled after reporting them, yet when certain other females are mentioned as dopers or suspects let’s run pulls it down in kne second. Racist or protecting their favs?
