If he took EPO even one time, it would change his life time blood profile forever, and even after all his tests, there still has not been a positive one.
Ummm, no. The first part is just plain wrong, and about the second part: "all his tests"? How many do you allege he had? And how do you know that there was no positive one?
For the love of god, NONE OF THIS WOULD BE AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW IF THERE WAS A PROPER PUBLIC INVESTIGATION DONE AT THE START WITH IOWA STATE AND ROWAN WITH A PRESS RELEASE. Btw if I was Seth like two months ago I would’ve switched up on every mf at Iowa state that did me wrong and just came out to say what really happened if I wasn’t actually doping
transcription of letter posted by Seth and his representation on instagram: To Whom It May Concern: Please be advise that this firm has been retained by Seth Clevenger to address the ongoing circulation of false information. Please allow this letter to clarify the facts surrounding Seth Clevenger's athletic and academic history. Seth Clevenger is not taking and has not taken drugs to enhance his running performance. An inquiry was conducted during his time at Iowa State University, during which Seth underwent testing and was cleared of any wrongdoing. Contrary to the false claims circulating online, Seth was neither dismissed from the lowa State team nor expelled from the university. The NCAA prohibits student-athletes from transferring out of trouble and being immediately eligible; had these allegations been true, Seth would not have been eligible to immediately compete for Rowan University. Seth chose to attend Rowan University for several reasons, including the opportunity to complete his degree on time, the positive academic and athletic experiences that his brother had at Rowan, the chance to be part of a competitive team, and the ability to commute from home. Recently, a video has surfaced and been disseminated by two former Iowa State teammates who may have been dismissed from the team after the investigation in the fall. They claimed that they accessed Seth's Gmail account through a "shared computer." This claim is unequivocally false, as the video in question is timestamped February 10, 2026, nearly two months after Seth had left Iowa State. The individuals we think are responsible for the video have expressed intentions to harm Seth's reputation. They chose to release and spread this misinformation last week in hopes of influencing Rowan University's decision regarding his participation in the Valentine Invitational. To address these baseless allegations and their methods law enforcement has been notified, and a criminal investigation is underway. Additionally, the purported receipt shown in the video is fraudulent—it is addressed to an incorrect address and originates from a company that ceased shipments to the United States in early September. Furthermore, there are multiple tabs open at top such as adobe acrobat, adobe acrobat create, adobe acrobat home, JOPDF, Fill PDF, Search, Edit, Fill, and Sign. These are all editing and photoshop tools and have AI abilities. Seth has voluntarily participated in institutional drug testing arranged by Rowan University. Monday, he underwent a blood test, which returned negative results for Erythropoietin (EPO) and showed normal blood markers across all areas. At this point Seth would like to focus on his academics and continue to improve and help nis team. As Seth has complied with all NCAA regulations and voluntarily submitted urine anc lood testing, we will not be commenting further on this matter. Any additional inquiries and information on this video should be directed to the Haddonfield Police Department [phone number] or [email]. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.
Man, there was a time when lawyers were great writers. This is slop.
What the hell does the Haddonfield police department have to do with any of this?
IT IS ON HIS PERSONAL INSTA ACCOUNT, CONTACT THE LAW FIRM IF YOU'RE SEEKING CONFIRMATION
But it says to contact the Haddonfield police?
I get that he's from Haddonfield, but what does this have to do with the Haddonfield police? Wouldn't it be an Ames IA or Glassboro NJ jurisdiction? Or shouldn't inquiries be directed to the law firm?
His Alma mater, Haddonfield Memorial, made NXN for the first time in school history this year. And they placed 9th there
Don't smear a whole school or even a whole program because one guy later became a cheat. Haddonfield has a great reputation, both academically and their track/xc program. (My friend's kid graduated from there a few years ago.)

Excellent school and an excellent track/CC program. 2 Olympians.
Haddonfield has had plenty of issues with entitled kids tho. The poop party of 2007 is still talked about. The bat throwing scandal over the summer was the most Haddonfield thing ever.
The walls are closing in. That statement from his attorney is nothing more than a last ditch attempt to bully people into silence. If Seth were serious about mounting a defense based on the cyber crime angle, he would have hired sophisticated legal counsel, not a divorce attorney Haddonfield.
Am I reading this letter correctly? It is claiming that Seth was cleared of any wrongdoing at Iowa State. He was not one of the runners suspended from the team. He left the team while in position to be the 7th man on the top ranked team to go to Rowan so he could complete his degree on time and live at home.

There is a lot to unpack here, but something that jumps out is the claim that the unauthorized PED vendor Legio Store “ceased shipments to the United States in early September”. Was the attorney in contact with the illegal, transnational PED operation to verify this?
It’s a strange and absolute claim for an attorney to make, and it calls into question everything he says.
Extremely pleasured with the back and forth here. Thank you to all contributing parties! I have my popcorn and can only give my deepest, deepest appreciation for the conversation.
Ignoring the trolls, this statement is pretty strange. For one, we don't know if it's authentic. I don't really use instagram, but it seems that Clevenger's account (@seth_clevenger) is private. Can anyone confirm that he actually posted this?
Regarding the claim that he wasn't kicked off the Iowa State team: it could well be true, but in the same sense that Richard Nixon wasn't impeached, but chose to resign. The supposed reasons Clevenger transferred seem hard to believe for someone in the midst of a breakthrough season at the top-ranked cross country program in the nation.
The statement attributes the video source to "two former Iowa State teammates." But as far as I know, no one has come forward to accept responsibility. Given the date it came out, I assumed the video came from someone at Rowan.
The statement also claims that Legio Store "ceased shipments to the US in early September." From what I can tell, Legio Store is or was a dubiously legal PED distributor. Their website is already down. How would Clevenger's attorneys have known their export schedule?
Any drug tests Clevenger has passed mean very little to me. EPO is notoriously hard to detect, and Clevenger would be a fool to take it while this issue is blowing up online. Not to mention the fact that he could have taken it in the past.
Lastly, if Clevenger was officially cleared of wrongdoing, why hasn't Iowa State shared that? Surely they're aware of the furor surrounding him.
Again, I don't know if this statement is even real. But either way, it hardly presents an encouraging defense.

Legio didn’t cease shipments to the USA. They temporarily suspended them. That information was discovered and was covered earlier in this thread. This claimed post is all fabricated. It’s another attempted distraction.
this is all gaining attention and steam, especially with the considerable number of named supporters on the petition.
In not seeing the statement anywhere. Also, Seth’s ig is private, and looks like it hasn’t been updated in a minute (considering that he still has Iowa state in his bio).
