It's pretty simple. After losing Killian, Salomon needed another star to fill the vacuum. Then, out of the blue, a middle aged woman smashes WS, HR and UTMB - the most elite races in 3 months. Her recovery is not an issue - BIG RED FLAG. As for JW, it's like "I dedicated a chunk of my life, specialized in this 2 races, and was more than happy that KJ was out" Trail running got to the level of the road running doping.
Not really out of the blue since she had won all of those races previously and already held the course records for two of them. It's like saying that if Gidey broke the 5K or 10K records it was out of the blue.
