Correction: Shelby just ran "8K". GPS measurements don't count, especially on some small windy-ass loop with heavy tree cover. If they did everyone else's PRs would all be much faster too. If she wants to claim some "best" time there are plenty of measured road race courses out there she could run on.
Plus is she even being tested? If not you know she's not even bothering with the microdosing, she's just straight up maxing out the PEDs.
She has been tested by USADA 6 times this year so far
Its actually a bit crazy how much Shelby supporters remind me of Trump voters, both in the way they support her/him and in the way they argue for her/his innocence etc.

Here's something fun we all can enjoy. her mom is an unhinged trump supporter check her likes they are a journey.
"American Record for Women’s 8k on the road is 24:36. The World Record is 24:27.8. Just saying…🤫"
She's really not very smart, is she?
She doesn't seem to understand that 8.00 "Strava kilometers" is not the same as a certified 8k course.
Unless she ran every step on the shortest possible line and tangent (which is not possible on a turning course like this), she may have covered 8.00km on her watch but a certified measurement of the underlying course would be shorter.
she went from lining up at global finals to running podunk races that will have her or having to do things by herself. what's next? I'd imagine a gig at Starbucks.
I'm curious about how she's making a living right now as well as apparently still training like a professional runner(?)
Isn't she still getting paid by Nike? My understanding is they're standing by her story.
I found her course on Google Map and measured 1 round with the 'Measure distance' tool. I was even a little generous, giving her a bit wide turns, and even with that it only came out to 1.88km per lap. Looking at her Strava she did 4 laps plus approx. 80m.
4 x 1.88km + 80m = 7.6km
No matter how imprecise my measurements on Google Map was, there is absolutely ZERO chance what her Strava show was a full 8.00km.
If you dont believe me do your own measurement here:
It's going to be crazy when she comes back and crushes because she's been training her butt off for several years. She might miss the Olympics but rewrite the record books.

Yes, she's being tested. You can see how many times by searching the testing database.
