You guys had no problem with Justin Gatlin's return to track dominance. Let her be. She served her punishment. Any possibility of cheating going forward will be dealt with as it happens.
The overwhelming vote on this board is against all your behavior. For obvious reasons.
Although not true it wouldn't bother me if it was. I'm not making a proposal that I wish others to endorse, as the OP is. P*ssing people off like you I consider a bonus.
You know what the biggest bonus is? Watching a 70 year old man wasting his final years arguing with strangers on the internet.
And it is true. You are disliked by most people here.

Your proposal was to let her compete this year, a year before her ban has concluded. That is reducing the effect of her ban. An athlete doesn't get exceptions made for them, which is what you are arguing for in her case. Hence your username, "Let Shelby compete" - and compete before her ban is up. If you weren't arguing for a reduction in her ban then you have no "proposal" to make. Making her catch up the last year of the ban after the Olympics reduces the effect of the ban, which is served continuously. It won't happen. It is a misplaced proposal on two counts - she isn't innocent and there is no quota on how many Olympic competitions an athlete may miss as a result of a ban. The overwhelming vote on this board is against what you suggest. For obvious reasons.
Exceptions should be made for exceptional circumstances.
Bans are framed in terms of years. My proposal still has her serving the same number of years.
Is there anyplace in the AIU rulebook that says the 4 years have to be served consecutively? I looked and couldn’t find it.
My proposal wasn’t based on guilt or innocence. Even if she’s guilty, she should receive fair treatment and a punishment that’s consistent with what other guilty people have received.
The intent of the penalty is to miss one Olympic year. Missing two goes against the documented history behind the intent of the rule.
I recognize there is a rabid mob mentality against Shelby. Doesn’t mean the mob is right.
There is nowhere in the rulebook that says dopers should be able to participate in the Olympics if they want to.
You are wrong about the intent of a penalty; it is to ban an athlete from all competition for the period of the ban. The intent of a ban is to do exactly what it does; anything else is just special pleading. Doesn't happen - and won't.

You didn’t answer my question. Since you like to go by the letter of the law and dismiss the spirit of the law, does the rulebook say the 4 years have to be served consecutively?

It doesn't have to. 4 years speaks for itself. If it wasn't so dopers would have long ago gone for the option you suggest. You aren't smarter than any of their lawyers. You aren't smarter than anyone.
Almost all posts are against you. You interpret this as praise? It would explain a lot.
The posts that you say are against me come from those who side with the doping deniers and apologists - or the merely stupid - like you. It's what I expect.
This is just recreation for me. But it's the meaning of life for doping deniers.
In the last 5.5 years, you’ve posted nearly 28,000 times. This board is the center of your life.
It's the centre of yours or you wouldn't know that. Your present obsession is to continue to argue a break for a convicted doper. It won't get anywhere but you like losing.
