She's not an aging wannabee, and has had nothing but clear samples. Even if you're right about her and Kersee (and I don't think you are), she has absolutely nothing to gain from doping going forward even if she should could drop the WR in the 400 to 47. With her good looks, she'll make her millions in product endorsements and there's no reason to endanger that.
Bobby Kersee is as dirty as Al Sal. She has everything to gain from doping. She's in a fringe sport, where the only way to make money is to set records.
How about some objectivity.
Objectivity is good. Unfortunately, you aren't objective.
Sydney McLaughlin signed a huge contract after her freshman year in college, before she had broken any world or Americanrecords.
Allyson Felix has made plenty of money in her career and she never was close to the world or American records in the 200 or 400.
Like McLaughlin, Athing Mu got a nice fat contract after her freshman year, and she hadn't broken any world and American records at that point either.
So no, you don't need to break records in order to make good money.
You are beyond stupid? So I guess you could beat her, being that you're a real track athlete? Are you that stupid or are you just a hater? So I guess Edwin Moses wasn't a real track athlete? What event do you run, besides your mouth?
The people who are saying she can’t touch the 400m world record are the same ones who said she’d never go sub 51…
I hope she continues to prove you all wrong. She’s done remarkably well at it so far.
I mean, the women’s 400 WR is widely considered amongst the most fraudulent WRs in the books. The fastest open 400s by athletes aren’t associated with a country confirmed to have government sponsored doping programs + who never tested pos are from Perec (48.25), Miller-Uibo (48.36), Freeman (48.63), and SRR (48.7), so breaking SRR’s AR would be a really, really solid first step, and I personally would consider 48.25 the WR threshold…so that’d be an awesome mark to see broken.
48.14 is probably the clean world record and unattainable now unless she specifically trains for it but she honestly should try and go for the American record for the remainder of the season. There's no better time!

Obligatory: I excluded Eid Naser’s 48.14 when mentioning fastest times in my post above since she’s currently serving a ban (albeit for whereabouts failures / missed tests, not for being caught with anything).
