At this point if people want to root for her and think she's some Quenton Cassidy type figure that's fine but you better be consistent when it comes to other dopers.
No more whining when a Kenyan, Ethiopian or Russian steals your thunder. Better give people the time of day when they claim innocence too.
perhaps because they don’t ingest nandrolone they buy off of shady gym-bro websites with the intent to microdose without knowing what the hell it is they’re actually using
"American Record for Women’s 8k on the road is 24:36. The World Record is 24:27.8. Just saying…🤫"
She's really not very smart, is she?
She doesn't seem to understand that 8.00 "Strava kilometers" is not the same as a certified 8k course.
Unless she ran every step on the shortest possible line and tangent (which is not possible on a turning course like this), she may have covered 8.00km on her watch but a certified measurement of the underlying course would be shorter.
Paging David Katz...
This is in line with her recent road 10K
Your point being??
We're not talking about whether this was consistent with anything else she's done.
We're talking about whether it was a legitimate 8k.
as a fan of running, its fun to see her times posted to strava. i respect the hard work she is putting in and like seeing the results.
these results have no bearing or relevance in the realm of professional athletics, however. as a banned athlete who lost her appeal, its hard to argue that she is innocent.
it may be true that many others are doping as well, and not getting caught. that isn't for me to decide though.
of all the things she could be doing with her time though, this is certainly interesting enough. it would be hilarious if she were to land a chiptole sponsorship.
So in the past 3 weeks, she's set the world record in the beer mile, and the AR in the road 10k and 8k???? Has there been a more impressive span by an American athlete, suspended or not?
LOL I can think of a couple more impressive athletes...
Anyways, the legend Deena Kastor set that American record in 2005. She remains the 8K American record holder today. Put some respect on her name
I know this was hyperbole and I am not certain if this has been pointed out in the 9 pages of replies, but it never hurts to recount that in 1935, Jesse Owens broke three world records and tied a fourth in the span of 45 minutes at a Big Ten track meet.
The ban is only temporary. Her championships are permanent, and her records and rent-free space in her haters’ heads will last much longer than the ban. January 2025 is right around the corner!
Not that I care either way, but I have a feeling she'll be remember more for her doping ban and ridiculous excuse. Nobody cares that Lance Armstrong was World Champion well before he claims he started doping.
Without delving into issues related to her ban and suspension, her Strava profile might be the best glimpse of Jerry Schumacher training available online. Unlike others who left the BTC group voluntarily, she didn't really, and she is by all accounts still a devotee of Mr. Schumacher and his methodologies. If you want to know how the BTC trains, that Strava profile is probably the clearest, most detailed account you'll find.

Alan Webb ran a 3:46 mile, 3:30 1,500m, and 1:43 800m in less than a month....
Tbh she’s almost certainly doping still. I mean why wouldn’t you? The band is already in place. To be fair, they could still be drug testing her. But if not, then now she can actually ramp up the doping to a new level without fear!
Agreed and she's serving a ban regardless of what she said and the stuff being in her system so I'll be rooting for her when she's back.
For crying out loud. Not this again. That drug cheat fortunately got banned "regardless of what she said", like all the other drug cheats with their ludicrous stories. Well deserved.
She ought to be happy that her ban wasn't doubled for her insultive burrito joke. I am looking forward to the next collection of the most outrageous lies of caught dopers. Surely her beef burrito that contained testicles from a wild uncastrated boar will be mentioned therein as part of the tainted meat joke.
The Best, Most Dubious Excuses of the World's All-Time Dopers The “Tainted Meat” Excuse. ... The “Secondhand Weed” Excuse. ... The “Penis Pills” Excuse. ... The “Turtle Blood and Caterpillar Fungus” Excuse. ... The “Evil Twin” Excuse. ... The “Sex Four Times, Plus Five Beers” Excuse. ... The “Deflection” Excuse.
She's obviously training like a professional. That's a lot of time and effort. How is she supporting herself? Living with parents? Working a normal job? Sugar daddy?
