She looks much more masculine

Yep, pretty much says it all. Might be another Regina Jacobs or Marion Jones.

Doesn't that 2nd pic look like a typical Russian mid-d runner? ?

One need look no further than Laura Muir to see that hollow cheeks and low body fat are not necessary conditions for 1500m success.

I always wondered if Muir was on some kind of medication to make her cheeks puff out like that; it seems unnatural for an elite runner to have such puffy cheeks and thin body.

I think that can be a Highland characteristic of Scottish Lassies.

Aye......

Somebody has to be the best in every event. Why is it that the people on this site assume that the winner is roping? If you eliminate the winner, the send place person would be the best so then everyone would accuse them of doping. Using this flawed logic, every athlete must be doping.

Iowa girls don’t dope. I mentioned Schweizer earlier. Her improvements have been greater in a shorter period of time but nobody has accused her. Maybe the real dopers are the runners who go from bad to average. Why accuse the ones who are at the top?

I've really seen a winner carrying a rope at the finish line. Lol.

Why yes it does ?

And I already gave you an answer:

Yes, Schweizer made a great improvement in her times, but that is completely different, as she is still not on a world class, top of the elite level yet. If Schweizer went from a 14:45 to a 14:20(which is about the equivalent of improving from 4:04 to 3:57), people would question her as that is going from being behind the elites to in front of them. That is what Shelby did. If she showed more steady progression than it would make more sense, but she went from indoor where she didn't earn a single medal at the world class level and from her last outdoor season where she didn't even come in top 10 for most of her world class races, to comfortable and easily sprinting across a world class field right after doubling and winning both at USATF and her victory at pre Fontaine classic also against world class athletes. To me that progression seems too quick regardless of if you are the hardest working athlete. Also, to people to say that it was the training that basically changed the entire way she looked, it seems weird that even as an olympic athlete, she apparently didn't work hard enough to have the big muscles she has now. I don't think any coach would overlook strength.

If she looks "masculine", then I must have gay tendencies because I would bang hard.

This thread is so funny! Anyone who thinks she's clean is a moran. "But she was fast and talented in high school" well so was Jones, Montgomery, Gatlin etc. In all of the races, she looks like Ben Johnson's 9.79 smoking the elite field LoL!!

Well...Mr. "Dope to the gills"...if you haven't noticed the posters who are suspicious of her are getting criticized & condemned by those who believe she's clean.

To summarize: If you're suspicious of Houlihan doping...you're called an idiot, jerk, etc. If you believe she's clean...you're called a moran. So, what gives? Keep one's mouth shut and never offer an opinion either way? ?

She's a replicant.

The doping accusations are not personal

How is accusing someone of being a liar and a fraud not a personal attack?

Why is it that in the anonymity of a message board someone feels that it's perfectly ok to label someone as a cheat and a criminal just because her race times have improved? Would the OP want people to name them as a sex offender because they scored three dates in a month? Did this person stop for even one second to think about the feelings of the person they demonized just because they felt like it? Is it too much to ask to treat people the way YOU would wish to be treated?

I agree with you - but that's the type of web site that the Brojos have created and want to have.

She’s probably a little leaner. More running and improved nutrition will do that.

People who know her will tell you that she is absolutely clean. She is very nice and humble. She is the type of person that we should all be proud of as Americans. Let’s root for her instead of trying to discredit her. I was so excited that she won the 1500 over world class competition but then I came to this site to continue reading about running and was disappointed to see this type of unwarranted accusations. Do you know any 25 year old women? Think about how they would feel if everyone made up rumors about them. Once they start, people hear them and don’t know that they are false. What would the creators of this site do if it were their daughters who were being gossiped about here?

no,shes not on tren.thats a highly dangerous steroid and very potent,worse than pure testosterone.if she took that her veins would all pop out,and shed look like a man,very quickly.the side affects of tren are really bad.id say shes on the winstrol,maybe anavar as well.she looks like a small womens physique competitor bodybuilder.

Not here to slam Shelby, but friends and family are the last ones who would know if she’s doping...and if you’re a professional athlete of any kind, you automatically put yourself into the public eye for scrutiny.

She has always been jacked going back to HS. You throw out accusations based on 3 pictures no context and no history. Totally baseless. The irony of this crap you and others are making up about her physique is she's actually an incredible role model for girls and young women to emulate. Shelby proves you can be strong with muscles and still run fast...

I suspect she showers at least once a day, so I'm gonna says she's ... not dirty.
