Shelby went from being an athlete who got pinched doping but who otherwise could have been a decent, even wonderful person, into a Psycho liar approaching Amber Heard territory. Just come clean girl, liberate yourself with the truth. That's the basis for real growth and to be an even better person after this than before. It's never too late to start.

sometimes people dig themselves a hole so deep that it seems like the only way out is to keep digging.
She can do whatever she wants in her private time.
the issue is that she hasn’t shut up or relinquished her grasp on the limelight since she was banned.
It’s understandable that you and many others would rather not hear from her while she’s banned, but I don’t think it’s a problem for her to post updates for her fans on her Instagram page. She’s banned from competing, not communicating. Her fans want to know how she’s doing, and this is her way of letting them know.
How many times do we have to wonder how our favorite runners are doing? Seemingly every week there’s a “Is ___ update?” thread about someone we haven’t seen racing or heard anything from in months. Track is uniquely awful as a sport in keeping its fans in the dark. We often don’t know about athletes’ training progress, injury status, or salary, which is information that is readily available in other sports. The more track athletes who keep their fans updated, the better.
Houlihan said that WADA found her guilty of cheating. She flat balls said it.
Flat balls; Wada never convicted her of cheating; the rules need to be read.
Have you read them?
Houlihan said that she was convicted of cheating. She said that publicly, in a statement she put on Youtube. She knows better than you what she was convicted of.

That is strange as such runs in direct contradiction to the Wada Code and the Decision.
Perhaps you are assuming stuff having manifestly not read the rules esp Rule 10.
You still make your own supposition that she doped.
Anything else you want to invent whist your are supposing?
That's not my supposition. CAS banned her for doping. EOT
No, banned her for infraction of the rules which as the rules are based on strict liability they are moot in terms of whether she was doping in the mean of the word you choose to imply. There is a difference between a doping offence and being a doper.

Come on. A confession now would disgust the people that supported her and would result in an across the board rejection. She would go from being a banned athlete to a liar and a cheat and would never get another sponsor. If she did actually dope, she’ll never be anyone’s definition of a good person.

To be precise: CAS banned her for two antidoping rule violations after she tested positive for nandro, namely 2.1 ("Presence of a Prohibited Substance...") and 2.2. ("Use or Attempted Use by an Athlete of a Prohibited Substance"). Most people would call that doping.
Wada did not publicly comment on Houlihan. But the Wada rules explicitly say breaking 2.1 or 2.2 etc. amounts to doping:
ARTICLE 1 DEFINITION OF DOPING Doping is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the anti-doping rule violations set forth in Article 2.1 through Article 2.11 of the Code.
If? IF?? Hahahahaha. Some people will never give up, no matter how clear cut the case and how many appeals lost.
You took my comment out of context. I was responding to the poster’s comment that Shelby could become a better person if she fessed up. I’m not quite 100% sure if she cheated, but if she did, she’ll never be a good person. She can’t fix bumping other runners off of national teams.

Conclusion: you should read more and troll less.
Yes but doping under the rules does not mean a doper ie user. Strict liability does not rule on using.
I always like it when someone in a famous band does a solo album where they play all the instruments. Paul McCartney, Paul Westerburg, Todd Rundgren, etc. To me, Ms. H. is doing the running version of that and I cannot help but be curious as to how fast she can go. Consequently I don't give a rats ass about the past as she's not competing, per her ban.
As a middle aged guy whose best years are no doubt way behind him, I still hunger to see how fast I can run. For a few years now I've ended up injured just as the race finally arrived, left only to recover and do some kind of time trial on my own. Guess what? I've found them rewarding, giving me that feeling that great running has always given me. I hope she finds that same place.
