She has two 4th place finishes, and lost out on a medal in both races to known dopers. Why continue to put yourself through that when WADA shows no indication they'll ever do anything about it?

Weird question. Why compete in any field if fraudsters sometimes live in the top?
They suffer eventually. I think even more use PEDs than you mentioned.
So no American should compete because there are dopers from other countries?
Because she enjoys competitive distance running?
This would a runner want to compete in the olympics? This must be the dumbest thread I've seen on letsrun today.

Why would someone want to post on letsrun. It's proven that troll posts always get to the top
It's moot. Rowbury will never make another US Olympic team. The last season she ran well was in 2016 -- an entire Olympic cycle. She's over the hill.
$$$$$

Yes, this is what the OP (who, by the way, has a Moscow IP address) wants us to believe.

If this is your approach to life, then you have identified yourself as a loser.

This might be an all-time top 10 dumbest here...
None of the three that beat her in 2016 are known dopers.
probably because going to the olympics is badass
Um, sponsor bonus? It's only her career.
Many Americans are doping as well (but usually gets covered up when they test positive)
3/10. You got a few responses.

If a typo is the dumbest thing you've ever seen...
I had forgotten that she has two Olympic 4ths. She also made every championship team 2009-2017 — cant think of that many American distance woman runners ahead of her on the consistency front. And she probably think one of those 4ths might get upgraded to bronze at some point.
Best of luck to her whatever she decides.
