Gabby Thomas 3 missed whereabouts tests

It was for the greater good that she was cleared. She’s what we want our young black girls to emulate (a Harvard grad).

Absolutely, it’s conflict of interest for USADA to expose Gabby Thomas when it would hurt the overall image of Olympics, World Athletics and USA Track & Field (USATF). High profile athletes will always get a pardon. Do you really think Usain Bolt and Shelly Ann while breaking world records were not juicing? Lord of course they were. JAAA is known for not testing their athletes because what would the Olympics be without that Jamaican vs USA rivalry! It’s all about the money and IOC makes billions of these athletes participating.

Anyone who deals in top athletics knows that two of Thomas’ missed tests came during her university days when she simply didn’t understand what she was doing. She is on record as having been ignorant to the existence of the World Championships during her time at Harvard, indicative of her understanding of athletics at the time.

It’s bizarre that anyone imagines that Usada is looking to hand out any favours. This is an organisation which prosecuted their own Olympic champion and 100m world record holder, Justin Gatlin. Tyson Gay was the golden boy in America until Usada took him down for a string of in competition positive tests for DHEA. They genuinely don’t care who you are.

Every athlete in the RTP misses at least one test during their career. A lapse in thought, genuine mistake, what have you. And when you do, you’re flagged for additional out of competition tests and that’s when you need to be extra vigilant, because missing a second gives you no margin of error. I know athletes who got their second missed test because it was the end of the season, they went out to the pub and, not being seasoned drinkers, slept through their morning test window because they got so pissed up.

Shhhhhhhh 🤫 That’s too logical. Gotta keep the lame ass “whereabouts” jokes going.

Every sprinter is not doping though. Yes, some definitely are, maybe even over half, but there are definitely sprinters who are competing clean.

WTF is a whereabouts test?

what evidence could you POSSIBLY have for this statement?

I went to Harvard long ago. There were indeed dumb people there. I had a friend on the hockey team (this is back when they completed for the national title and he played pro later) who had gotten in with just above 1000 on the sat. He had a huge complex about being the dumbest guy there - which he was not - he was a very nice guy and quite humble - except when being the team enforcer on the ice. He ran a sub 34 10k too which impressed me given than he had a huge ass and thighs.

Change Gabby Thomas to Adel Mechaal and no one believes it ...

Agreed.
USA/NBC chose Gabby and rallied around her. She’s fast. She’s articulate-ish. She’s beautiful.

They need these stories from these athletes for production and their fluff pieces. There aren’t many other interesting runner personalities other than Nyles’ narcissism and Sydney’s devotion either.

"logical", lol. This pretend-insider with his British English made lots of unsubstantiated, even evidently false claims about Thomas, Gay ("a string of in competition positive tests for DHEA" -hahahaha), and many other elites ("Every athlete in the RTP misses at least one test during their career" - also wrong!) and ignores and even outright denies USADA's (not: "Usada") sad history of handing out favors.

Just look up the Gay and Coleman cases...

Lol. An AA beneficiary and a dishonest cheat.

That could run circles around your sorry ass, both literally & figuratively, you little pvssy.

lol, they are kinda lame. Anytime someone with a whereabouts incident is mentioned you can count on someone to say “whereabouts was this?”

....

Yes she's beautiful and intelligent with a Harvard Degree, I'm sure she has more important things going on 🤣😂🤣😂

3 🥇 GOLD medals in Paris- 🎉 Congrats

Has anyone actually read the whereabouts requirements? They're not straightforward - and I for one, would struggle to meet their requirements for reporting in my day to day life... especially if I was young/had a partner / didn't have my life completely organized

So, why don't most athletes miss tests? Most are responsible and don't have whereabouts failures. GT had 3!!!

If you want to believe your Olympians are winning gold and breaking world records without any blood doping etc…then good for you. Remember Marion Jones never, but never publically tested positive for doping yet her husband failed 4 tests. Victor Conte stated USADA knew Marion would test positive but she was the face of the Olympics at the time so pardon and protected she was. Logic works both ways when you realize billions of dollars are in stake. The playing field is even in my eyes especially when Conte stated 7 out of 9 men in 100m is doping. The other two just didn’t get tested. You think Russia is the only country that had a state funded system? Have you seen China lately? Again enjoy the games from whichever perspective gives you the most joy.
