Yes, those 2 haven’t tested positive for any banned substances. And Shelby has and was banned 4 years for it. Shelby only on tested 16 times last 24 months compared to 30 times the previous 24 months. Do the maths.
Will never silence the haters as they just love to hate.
Accusations of hatred are so overdone nowadays.
If you think that Affirmative Action policies harm just about everyone, especially the people they purport to help, you now have a high chance of being labelled a "hater."
If you think national borders should be secured, you now have a high chance of being labelled a "hater."
If you reject belief in transgenderism, you now have a high chance of being labelled a "hater."
If you think persons of the same sex cannot constitute a marriage, you now have a high chance of being labelled a "hater."

Faith has never tested positive. Kipchoge has never tested positive. Would you give them the same grace should they test positive tomorrow? Or this is reserved for white American athletes?
Her run was super impressive in my mind. She showed no fear in leading and still had a good kick at the end.
PS. After I was done, one media guy said, "We've never seen anyone record a film in the mixed zone before."
Ah yes, silenced haters by runnjng way off her PR amd finishjng 4th in a slow race where she got dropped hard in the last lap. Anyone can lead MOST of a slow race.
Only got 4th because Tsegay gave up and jogged home in the last 50m or so once she realised she wasn’t going to medal.
I am tired of the media referring to fans who are pro clean sport as “haters”. 1. Its enormously cowardly and hypocritical. 2. You only do this when it comes to Shelby Houlihan, fans aren’t ‘haters’ when it comes to Fred Kerley, Raven Saunders, or any foreign athlete who is popped. That proves your favoritism towards her. 3. It’s dismissive of the issue of doping in sport. Shelby tested positive and served a four year ban. People don’t like or trust athletes who do this. Why when it comes to Shelby, are the fans suddenly the bad guys? Why isn’t the responsibility on how she is perceived on her?
You don’t realize how much you are actually hurting the sport by doing stuff like this. Even if you are making this weird exception for only one doper, you make it look like you don’t care about drugs writ-large. People are getting more and more disinterested. They are turning away from the sport at the professional level. How do you not see that you are the problem when you do this?
The video was not that interesting. You didn’t ask her anything engaging. you asked her about Nadia Barcoletti's dad which frankly was actually weird. Nadia, unlike Shelby has not served a doping ban. Why are you trying to inject suspicion on her when you are talking to someone who literally served a ban?
Who is the “numpty” that downvoted your cogent post?
The haters are haters because she’s a cheater and a liar, not because of her level of talent. She could win the olympics and I would still be a vocal hater.
Thank goodness we have the authority on who is lying 😂 foh
That’s pretty common knowledge. Hard to take anything you say seriously on the subject if you don’t know the basics.
If testing caught the only dopers there wouldn't be a doping problem in the sport. There is. Testing catches very few - "the dumb and the careless".
Probably you are right, but this means that in the 5000 m women race in Tokyo only one athlete has doped at least once in her career in a "dumb and careless" way...

That we so far know of. Watch this space. In the next few months there will be some positives/whereabouts failures from other of those competitors. Who knows what the future holds? Remember Chepngetich. I would bet the house, the car and the dog that the competitors in front of Houlihan and immediately behind her are on it. That's the sport today.

No bc it was a slow race. She gets her doors blown off in a 14:10 race.
Also, in case you didn’t get the memo she was banned for PEDs for 4 years. JFC, once a doper always a doper.
You must be fun to live with. If you're going to be a t*rd brain, why not just follow some other sport where you think everyone is perfect? Why not inflict yourself on some other sh***y environment that actually deserves you? If people like this bother you so much, then just don't follow the sport. Just go away so the good people of let's run don't have to catch your infection.
Fwiw passing drug tests doesn't mean you're clean. We know tests can be beaten. We need all TUEs & whereabouts to be public. Microdosing is always going to be a problem. Designer drugs that function in the same way as banned ones but aren't banned yet will always be a problem.
Idk the (perceived? real?) tonal shift from the founders of this website on Houlihan. No need to promote her or cover for her.
Interested to see whether this finish will get her the Nike sponsorship back (or any major sponsorship, really). I'm surprised she wasn't picked up following her world indoor medal tbh.

I am not wasting my time watching that but already know she did not admit doping.
As she is still running as well logically is still on some form of doping.
You cannot run as fast clean as doping.
Doping makes you faster most people are too dumb to actually realise that. Roids on a woman eg East Germans Russians. Easy to get around otherwise all those busted sprinters would not get away with it for years.
Typical Letsrun hypocritical attitude to Americans doping. Would you believe that 2:09 marathon doper . No
Every GB athlete failing a test or missing 3 is a doper. Plus one who missed one!
