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

Credible sources? Part of the issue is that there are no credible sources. Does anyone trust USADA or USTAF? Or the NCAA, that is now a Kenyan semi-pro league? That is why the silent ban issue is so insidious. It destroy what little trust remains in the sport. Anyone looking at the events of the last few months, the sudden influx of internet discussion about a positive test that did not start on this site and then what followed, especially coupled with her no fatigue performances, has a very credible basis to think something is amiss. A silent ban makes sense.

I don't tiktok, but I'm assuming she did not call out these two posters specifically, but the website as a whole.

So terrible and misleading thread title if so.

She qualified for the Olympics after having over a year of being injury free and racing. What does that have to do with Jakob making his outdoor season debut at worlds coming back from injury? Do you really think those are comparable situations?

She didn't just qualify;she competed. Cross training has been given as a reason for her success - as an injury-prone athlete. As part of his recovery following his injury Ingebrigtsen used cross training. The results were comparatively disappointing for him. Cross training appears not to be the magic formula it has been touted as here.

I don’t think they are comparable situations, but let’s say they were: then cross training allowed Valby to finish 11th in the 10000 in Paris, and Ingebrigtsen to finish 10th in the 5000 in Tokyo. So cross training got them to almost the same place, in fact one better for Ingebrigtsen.

Easily the most likely explanation for what transpired. Rumors start to circulate on a number of sites that she tested positive, then she deletes her social media, then she leaves her team and takes a long vacation. And we know the USADA is corrupt as hell. Plus we know silent bans occur. It reeks.

I havent been following her career at all,but i just figure she was injured. As for her doping,i never gave it any thought,mostly because she could never beat the east africans. I agree with you about USADA and usa sport being corrupt,and drug riddled. USA is worse than russia.

can someone make a list of all known "silent bans"

PNWundertaker ...there’s wayyyy too many disgusting men on these MBs who think it’s acceptable for them to comment on her body and looks when they look like a gremlin from the sewer themselves.

And so the obsession continues. Do you think Valby likes to read posts like yours on threads about her?

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

The difference here is that Valby uses the arc in addition to running. Jakob was just desperately trying to maintain his fitness just only cross training.
