We've closed this thread to new posts. Please discuss this topic in a new thread given the fact she just won the race outright in 2023. Does that mean that the 2022 cheating allegations definitely have no merit?
Because you and Derek all suck at investigating and gathering evidence. How is bringing up her supplement contamination relevant at all? All you and Derek have to accuse her is a fast time that is possible to run, especially since ultra running does not have the depth of competition real running has. You and Derek just want to turn this into another Latoya Snell where you accuse her first and then later harrass her for years after you admit there is no evidence of cheating.
Lying LaToya is back again.
You were proven to have cheated so move on like everyone else has.
Derek certainly hasn't moved on harrassing LaToya trying to make her lose her jobs. Why don't you tell Derek to cut it out?
Don’t know about the course cutting incident but the doping issue was PROVEN to be due to contamination of a supplement she was taking. I don’t believe she intentionally doped, she did her suspension, time to move on.
I can live with that. But, in my opinion, once a course cutter, always a course cutter. I will always be suspicious of anyone who knowingly cut a course. I mean, there's a reason a large portion of baseball fans do not consider Barry bonds the all-time Home Run king.

And there she is again. Derek doesn't care about Latoya. Nobody cares about LaToya. There would never have been anything written about LaToya had she not preemptively publicized Derek's private questions. I guess she figures there's no such thing as bad publicity. She takes every opportunity to insert her name into threads that have nothing to do with her and to bump anything anyone else mentions about her. Narcissism on display.

Because like 99.9999% of the world we don't care about cheating LaToya,and you only get mentioned on here when you bring yourself in to other cheaters threads.
One of the first comments on her IG page (maybe it shows differently for different people) is from a former member of the US 24 Hour Running World Championship team...
"Are you going to address the internet chatter and allegations of cheating? With your history of using banned substances and accidentally cutting courses in the past - the ultra community is concerned"
Then a follow up from her as a reply to someone else: "She was sanctioned - meaning she was at fault. There has also been course cutting - many people on social media are sharing eye witness accounts and I would just like to hear her side of the story. Maybe she had a breakout run and will be the next great 100 miler and 24 hour runner- if so I look forward to competing along side of her"
maybe she learned her lesson - I don’t think she cut the Badwater
Despite being a social media flake, she's got real talent.
But I do doubt her performance at Badwater - two of her leg splits seem improbable, if not impossible. Looks like she wanted the (Women's) course record and the win.

That person is a perfect example of the stupid mob mentality who doesn't even know that her "sanction" was because of strict liability from unintentional supplement contamination that widely occurs in many elite athletes, which is why her sentence was reduced to just 6 months from 4 years. Posting those comments here also show that you are just out for revenge or rage and not actually looking at what the evidence actually says. You falsely assume everyone is evil.

So anyone Derek accuses of cheating is not allowed to publicize it or seek help according to you. Hence why I don't support you and Derek's lynch mobbing of either Latoya nor Ashley.
This board would have forgotten about you immediately had you let it be. Every time you post we're reminded that there was an investigation into your possible cheating.
You are the Streisand effect personified OR someone who really dislikes LaToya and wants to make her look horrible. Either way, cut it out.
Why are we not looking at the rest of the ultra community then? If an average runner took PEDs, they wouldn't be able to jump right in with Kipchoge or J Ing. She is talented, albeit more than a little suspicious.
Is this any different than a large number of other athletes? Ultra, road, track? If there aren't rigorous and uniform testing protocols in place, that's on individual race organizations, not the athlete.
Badwater is not allowing folks to comment on its Instagram page. The race is obviously aware of the issue.
Seeing as how there is zero evidence of cheating and the idiots commenting don't even know what accidental supplement contamination is, including the posters in this thread, I agree with turning off the comments.

That's easy for you to say when you are not the one Derek harasses for years on end trying to make Latoya lose her jobs

From my POV you are in fact hurting your own prospects.
Every time you post on here it is indexed into google searches. This means future employers will be more likely to stumble upon your race cheating allegations and constant race baiting. I would let it be -- obviously that's super easy for me to say, being someone who doesn't have to deal with it, but still, just my two cents.
Do you want to be married in a sexual relationship and have kids someday? At what your age sounds like, this is probably in your five year goal whether you have thought of it or not.
If she doesn’t help you reach your 100% reasonable long term goals like those, move on. Time is wasting.
