Shelby Houlihan runs 4:03 1500

BURRITO POWER!!!!!

What if it was a mistake and she is clean? I suppose you have never been wrongly accused? Have you have never wanted something so bad, like being an Olympic athlete and had it taken away from you? Would you not work your butt over your punishment and prove everyone wrong? The sad thing is that nobody will believe her! If it was just a mistake, her life would have ruined for nothing but conspiracy theories and bad pork! I don’t know if I believe her, but people have been wrongly accused and punished. There are plenty of other runners that I think are dopers but they continue to compete and win medals and money! We should have a little compassion for Shelby!

Who cares? Check back in 2025.

Yeah, people love to act like running is a time suck.

It's hilarious. I'm not sure there's any other sport where the best train for less time a day than runners?

Look at the Pro Tour cycling guys on Strava. Read about the time spent in a pool for olympic swimmers.

Running 45 to 120min a day is doable for almost any schedule if someone wants it bad enough.

Spoken like a true hobby jogger that has never really trained like a pro. Check out some of the pros on IG. In addition to their running, most true world class competitors are also lifting, doing prehab and rehab work, meeting with nutritionists, psychologists, and other performance consultants, working with product developers and sports research experts, posting on social, doing interviews and podcasts, traveling to support the sponsors, etc. I have known a few BTC athletes and they are engaged in running and related activities for at least 8-10 hours a day. Granted, it is not 40+ hours of labor or office drudgery but it's not as if they run for about an hour each day and then have 23 hours of unadulterated free time.

Ben Johnson had a race against a farm animal and a nascar when he was suspended . He finished 3rd . That's a podium !

🐎 1St , 🚗 2nd , 👨🏻‍🦲 3rd .

I would pay per view to see SH race a Feral Hog 🐖

Or has he been swotting up on eugenics?

Good for her. People bash her not because she got caught, but because she revealed what the entire sport is at the top of the professional ranks, a PED fueled fraud. The people that bashed Armstrong the loudest were cycling fans who had no trouble beings fans of cyclists who they all knew were just as dirty.

What you believe depends on whether you give her the benefit of the doubt.

The process defined by WADA does little to remove these doubts.

Any suggestion that she intentionally doped and cheated and lied is entirely based on presumptions. This is a weak argument, and would fail every scientific and legal standard.

You are correct and all a consequence that the WADA code is set up as sports rules and not to be constrained by civil or statute norms.

It was said that sport does not have the resources to do otherwise.

You thus have to see outcomes as being more presumptions than fact.

Justice on the cheap gives poor justice.

She got on the sauce because the women beating her were on the sauce and thus they internally justify that saucing is not immorral and consider it normalized instead of unethical. Groupthink based on toxic values will yield cognitive distortions. Thus she won't admit doing it, even though she did it, because she believes there's nothing wrong with doing it and she internalized that she doesn't deserve punishment in any capacity because she construed saucing as appropriate behavior.

Cognitive distortions !

Perhaps she won’t admit because she did not cheat.

I’m still trying to get my head around a 9-4 office job being considered “full time”.

What I don't get is how the lab director was able to testify in court again. She should be fined/jailed for her handling of the Lawson case. That's just a huge red flag to me. Regardless I'm happy she is still doing workouts and grinding until the ban is over.

Does she have any realistic shot at overturning this on appeal at the Swiss Federal Tribunal? Is that what she is banking on?

With three years left to go and eyeing a return to competition, I find it strange that she is still training for 1500 meters. Why not go all-in for the the10,000 and marathon? She was hinting at wanting to do a 10K before the hammer came down.

Haha,someone is very close to Shelby or needs a court order as they are obsessed with her.

She cheated and is banned so you both need to move on.

I've got to hand it to Shelby. I love how she is constantly triggering all of you that for some reason feel she shouldn't be allowed to exercise for 4 years during her ban (by the way I will argue until the end of time the ban sh ould be reduced to at most 3 years as you shouldn't miss two Olympics with one ban).

Maybe I should sponsor her and broadcast her time trials live on Letsrun just to see everyone go crazy.

All it took was a pretty white girl for letsrun to go pro-dopping.

Gault getting roasted on Twitter 😂

Sad but true. Though I'd add American to the criteria, nobody would have spoken out for a pretty Russian white girl.

Excellent. Serves him right.

Drug Cheats Out!

@Rojo: have you informed AIU that she continued to train with BTC during her provisional suspension, so that time can't count as part of the four year ban as per rule 10.14?

Your coworkers think you smell
