Parker Valby puts LetsRun at top of her "running betrayal list"

When widespread rumors break about a positive test, followed by one suspicious thing after another, let us know. And even more to the point re Valby, actually pretend to be tired. Show some fatigue. Have the odd off race. I still laugh at the ncaa announcer marveling about how she does not even seem tired as she kamikazied the 5000m days after the 10000m final. Loll. Its alright. Just pretend there was nothing odd. That is a board specialty.

LetsRun has contributed to Valby’s fame and $

You sound not just inexperienced , but dumb.

She *actually* has great jeans.

The brojos went on a midnight ambush with a thread claiming a Valby drug ban was imminent. To my knowledge, those claims were baseless, no evidence was offered for the claims, and months later she has doubters spewing nonsense like this.

The brojos stoked the fire, and no real apology was offered. They just moved on to spreading uncertainty and doubt about some other athlete to drive up clicks.

The only reason I wouldn’t call it a betrayal is, who in their right mind would trust these clowns enough to be betrayed in the first place?

Can you provide some links to credible sources that speculated she was doping or serving a ban? Your own brain does not count.

No. It’s “easy to extrapolate” and conceal that choice if you’re being disingenuous. Nice of you to mention that the community at large often includes many who engage in reasonable discussion. Would’ve been better if you’d done more to live up to that yourself. And after you stepped in it, you haven’t done yourself any favors by straining in an attempt to justify it.

Are you better than the creeps and lowlifes who say awful things here? I’d guess so. That doesn’t excuse fabricating details for some kind of clickbait purpose, personal animus, or whatever other reason might have driven you to do so.

Go to almost any other fan forum for an NFL and NBA team and you will read truly ugly and nasty comments about individual players and coaches that are far worse than anything I have seen on the LetsRun message board.

Go to a pro sports game and listen to the ugly heckling, comments, etc. that fans yell at players.

Any kind of perceived abuse that pro runners receive from fans is tame compared to what pro athletes receive in many other pro sports.

So Ms. Valby needs to learn that the #1 rule to survive in pro sports is to never pay attention to the fans that do not love you.

There’s this and also the fact that she went dark on socials and removed some stuff for several months. This might be the viewable place where you can see the speculation and rumor broadcast, but it was happening all over the place until her Dad finally cleared things up. There’s a baseline of openness if you don’t want people to speculate what is happening to you.

Problem is, that silently banned athletes (e.g., Houlihan) also say that they cannot race because of a injury. Often they say it's minor in case people see them training - but then it takes months and months...

Yeah I'm not saying everyone's going to trust them at their word or should. Still, if you don't want the speculation and have nothing to hide, just give a check-in every couple of months. Most athletes do it, even if they are really frustrated with an injury situation and don't really want to. It can also be outsourced.

Who is parker valby?

Houlihan was NEVER "silently banned." She failed a test and filed an appeal. Appeals remain private until they are decided. She tested positive on December 15 and her appeal was decided on June 11 and was immediately released publicly.

"Silent ban" is a term made up by people on this board with zero knowledge of the sport.

Man, the Cult is really getting desperate with their little princess getting crushed every race and getting dead last at USATFs.

These days Strava is just Dollar Tree Garmin so it tracks.

I happen to know she loves it. Get lost you freak.

New title - Parker Valby puts LetsRun at top of her "runing betrayal list"

You can't make this stuff up. Seriously, here's a tip: When you see that squiggly red line under a word, it means the word is spelled incorrectly.

False and false.

1) The AIU decided to ignore its own policy and kept Houlihan's provisional ban secret.

See for example the current list of provisionally banned athletes at the AIU page:

2) There have been several examples of NADOs (e.g., American, German, Kenyan) that imposed (not provisional) "silent bans".

In conclusion: you either have zero knowledge of the sport or are trolling here.

Of course she doesn’t like it. Half of you are a bunch of desperate men who don’t understand that your creepy comments have a negative effect on people.
