This actually made me curious.

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:

That doesn't make much sense. Nike isn't super loyal to their athletes, even the ones who are (officially) competing.

Could be wrong but my guess is she could dish a lot of dirt if they leave her high and dry. So they’ve appeased the sh!t out of her.

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.

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

As a British reader of this site, I have honestly never heard of her. Upon doing a Google search, she looks like one of those deranged, obsessed female fitness types, gym membership, tattoos and all.

I hope her ban is reversed and she makes the Olympic Team.

Keep in mind, this is how Michael Avenatti went to jail, for blackmailing Nike.

Just posted to strava.

discus.

Ya know, with her suspension you just kind of brush her aside, its 2 olympics! But, if nothing else it seems she is bent on coming back after suspension and we will be talking about her. I wondered which path she would take. It does take a little balls to comeback with everyone hating on you. Ill give her that. I mean what does she do for money while she trains like a pro?
