My take is that the shoes were not banned so they are fine.
Also, I think using the Strava data is dicey and shocked Pielke chose to include it when the study from CU is solid.

Desi wasn't wearing the shoes. Shalane was staggering home, shoes weren't that big a help. So her beef should be with Amy wearing them. And I'd agree that Amy has run times that she would never have imagined without the shoes.
But maybe if Shalane does not have the shoes she does not even finish or is not close enough. There is a ton of speculation regardless. Also the shoes were not banned at the time that is the end of the discussion to me.
She will be crying about her failures forever. Always an excuse.

The reporter should have asked Goucher if she would have worn the shoes if she were still with Nike in 2016.
Now, that's a very good point. I think most athletes would probably wear them without thinking too much about it. But in hindsight, it's clear the shoes were illegal and I think the 2016 Olympic marathon results should be invalidated.
Speaking of invalidation, I've had to ban a poster or two on this thread. I don't understand the vitriol for Goucher. But if you want to criticize her, that's fine. But bringing up something not related to the topic at hand - like her looks - isn't allowed on this thread or any thread.
Guilty of mechanical doping?? You know that only the alpha fly’s got banned right? The next %’s are legal lol

The shoes Shalane and Amy wore were illegal at the time of the 2016 Marathon Trials.
