Necessarily? Of course it isn't necessary that athletes dope. Only God knows who is doping so you have no way to know if pros dope more than college runners. It is logical to state that being tested would lower the risk that someone is doping. Wiley has been tested multiple times. Tuohy has never been tested.
Please. Nick Johnson was ostensibly fired in December, 2020 after a dalliance with an "underage female" and was replaced by.....his wife. She was not placed on leave until around September, 2022 when the scandal broke. And the lawsuits alleged that both Nick and Lauren were in on the doping aspects of the claims. There is no indication at all that Nick and Lauren are not still fully married, not that they are still not "coaching" her. (Sure, it was all made up by jilted lovers; what laughable nonsense).
Of course she could not run 4:03 and 1:59 at Colorado. That is the entire point. That required chemistry, which is exactly what the Johnsons provided and what Lauren was certainly familiar with from her own career unless we are pretending to be completely clueless and are still going with the "multisport athlete" alibi. That is what kept her at HU.
All americans are dopers,and theyre usually very blatant,and obvious about it.Some europeans like jakob are also very blatant,and they wont get caught,so theres no need to hide it .I think thats the sport.Track and field,cycling,weightlifting,swimming,football,theyre all on chemical cocktails.
Refused to cooperate with prosecutors or testify at Nick Johnson’s first criminal trial.
Still seems to be closely interacting with Nick & Lauren Johnson plus Curtis Hines after all were terminated by Huntington University.
Has made public statements discrediting the accounts of other women allegedly victimized by Nick Johnson.
Doping? Probably not, but the specter is there because of her associations. We shall see how the upcoming civil and criminal proceedings against Nick Johnson play out.
I find her innocent until proven guilty. She is an awesome addition to the American Track scene and it is sad that the dunces are all in confederacy against her. That being said she would be well served to move to a different training setting to set the record straight and get away from Nick who would be problematic to anyone's image.

Are people really rooting against her or are they tempering their enthusiasm in the event that something unseemly is revealed? Is the tepid reaction to Wiley any different than how people feel about Galen Rupp (clean? dirty? Salazar?)?
She has come out and said Lauren is coaching her this summer which means that is who is coaching her during the team season. The current head coach and distance coach know who is really coaching her. They just want more trophy photos opts.
100% lie. She DID NOT say she was being coached by Lauren Johnson. She has repeatedly said that Coach Neideck and Coach Roark are coaching her, Her only mention of Lauren Johnson was that she is a family friend and was sitting in the stands with her mother watching the meet. But would we expect any truth at all from "Bob5034"? Hell no, he is as full of lies as astro.

Your life cannot be destroyed if you are perceived to be honest and forthcoming.
As others have stated, Miss Wiley needs to come clean about her relationship with the Johnsons instead of playing coy. If nothing unsavory happened with Nick, then take the stand under oath and say so. If Austin is the mastermind of your success, then give him effusive praise in the press. If Lauren is coaching you, then defiantly proclaim it and then accept any NAIA sanctions for having a private coach.
If you are not willing to be somewhat transparent in these matters, then don’t be surprised when fans and potential sponsors distrust you.
Why can't she just stay friends with Lauren but move to another area/go to another school/go professional in a setting that will allow her to thrive both financially and athletically?
The longer she stays in Huntington, the more money she is missing out on. Even the most talented runners can have a very short shelf-life. Cash in now. Just keep some distance from the Johnsons.
I want her to succeed. She's missing out on money. Period.
Come clean? She is pure as the new fallen snow. Just because you don't like what she has to say, doesn't mean everything she says isn't completely true.
How is Sifan an obvious doper? She's being independently trained by a single person. She isn't part of a huge camp or facility with access to doctors capable of constructing a doping program that would evade detection. She also trains all around the world and is constantly moving - do they take all the drugs with them?
