DISGRACED Iowa State Runner Transfers to D3 School

So in theory; we will still be left with questions regardless of how this ends because there are scenarios that still could be possible for the worst? Obviously this isn’t division 1 where the problem has been (assuming) rampant but more of just in general? Not pointing fingers because im looking for more clarification here; something like BPC which doesn’t last a while in the system could slip through the gaps?

Good stuff Rojo. Save everything for article. I look forward to reading it soon.

The other problem is that the NCAA doesn't seem to have a provisional suspension system. When the AIU busts someone, they immediately suspend them. The athlete still gets the chance to defend him- or herself, but they're not competing in meets.

There's certainly enough suspicion to merit a provisional suspension for Clevenger. And if he's eventually cleared, I'd support refunding the eligibility he missed. But it seems like the NCAA will only take action after a positive test. That's very unlikely in the NCAA, particularly in Division III. As far as I know, D-III athletes only get tested after winning a national title – a test Clevenger can expect.

Public stated that he is cleared but you allow 40 pages of people stating that he doped while two schools covered it up. But even hint that your favorites doped and get banned.

"They" publicly stated he is cleared = Seth's attorney. Iowa State has never publicly stated anything because apparently Seth won't sign a FERPA release allowing them to do so....

For all the flak LetsRun gets, the fact you have allowed this thread to stay up with limited moderation and are working diligently on an article is very much appreciated. I still think the way you all handled the Shelby situation was wrong, but this, to me, is a sign that things here are changing for the better. There is simply no other place on the Internet where one can talk about running to this extent.

20 dollars and half a sandwich that threads would still be made if they took this down. Welcome to letsrun buddy

They definitely do random testing at nationals. We had to wait for a long time in Birmingham because my teammates couldn’t pee due to being dehydrated! She was randomly selected twice despite never winning. Maybe they don’t do it every year, but if that’s the case how unlucky for her.

Four-time D3 AA here; never tested.

The idea that you’d dope at the D3 is comical and pathetic, but it is what it is.

winners of every event used to be drug tested right after the race. idk when they stopped that but i do not think that still happens.

To the point earlier, even if they did test, if you were microdosing EPO you’d be fine regardless unless you were abjectly incompetent.

For as long as it has existed, D3 has operated under the operating principle that no one at that level is going pro and we’re all just doing it for the love of the sport, and therefore cheating is implicitly simply not happening because, well, why would you? It looks like it’s going to take a scumbag from NJ to force a change.

Even more comical knowing someone could get popped with drinking too much coffee

for what it's worth, Clevenger is listed in the results as anchoring Rowan's winning DMR at last night's NJAC meet, but the NJAC press release does not include him among the four who actually ran for Rowan. today's finale is postponed until Friday due to weather. He is scheduled for the mile and 3K.

Rowan's own press release says Clevenger ran the DMR. But here is the NJAC release:

PHILADELPHIA --- Rowan made history Saturday night at the NJAC Men's
Indoor Track & Field Championships, as the Profs' 4x200 meter relay
team shattered the all-time NCAA record — across all divisions — and
multiple NJAC Championship Records fell throughout the first day of
competition at the Ott Center for Track & Field at the University of
Pennsylvania.
TCNJ leads after the first day of competition with six of 18 scored
events complete. TCNJ has 69 points, followed by Rowan University (65),
Stockton University (33), Farmingdale State (21), Montclair State (19),
Ramapo (14), Rutgers-Camden (5), Rutgers-Newark (3) and New Jersey City
(2).
Rowan's 4x200 meter relay team of Elijah Hendricks, Julian Conigliaro,
Evan Corcoran and Rajahn Dixon won the event in 1:23.59, setting the
NJAC Championship Record and erasing Penn State's all-time NCAA record
of 1:24.70, set in 2013. The Profs also won the Distance Medley Relay in
10:16.96, setting another NJAC Championship Record. The DMR team
consisted of Blaik Slavinski, Shakur Taylor, Teddy Wilson, and Aidan
Brad.

Based on the splits, I doubt he ran.

10:16 is the conference record? Holy geez, that is slow. Lax could probably field five squads to run that.

A few of the lineups listed for last night’s DMR are inaccurate; including Rowan’s. Shame that the meet record is so poor considering the NJAC has had some very solid DMR squads over the years. No urgency to throw down at conference ig

Iowa State needs to be open about why they kicked off Seth and others. Sure does their image talent a hit....yeah but could be the real heroes if they brought down a potential cheater in Division 3. This is more than just about 2 schools....its about the reputation of the sport as a whole!

Who are the people who were kicked off of the team?

the people not on the indoor roster that were on xc are Clevenger, Haile, Rivera, and Simpson, all had indoor eligibility and only clevenger is listed at another school and none of them look like they did a fall graduation based on their specific circumstances
