Jacky Boxberger, former French track star, with amazing range from 336 1500 m to 210 Marathon. A real beast, and monster performer.

Orphelie Boxberger:

Can this amazing French female athlete with the killer abs transition to world class level in the marathon? That is the question. She aims to be at the highest level in the marathon within the next few years. With a 32:35 road 10 km PB she has a good start.

Fewer things are more reliable on LRC than Ghost1’s apologies and excuses for dopers. I’ve been here a long time, as has he, and I don’t remember a single post of his that did not make some reference, direct or oblique, to his press,potion of innocence of a known or likely doper.

We have posters on here who are like a dog with a bone. Ghost is like a pit bull with a small child’s femur.

Presumption

Stupid iPad autocorrect...

I am confused, did this sanctions committee really give her a lesser sentence on the grounds she might be innocent?

Can any athlete now say; my coach injected me without my permission?

OH, VITAMIN INJECTION? LALALALALALALALA I CANT SEE OR HEAR YOU LALALALALA

oops, wasnt meant to be Lance Armstrong, but i see that it is.

You are correct in that Orphelie Boxberger, claims that while she was asleep her coach and lover Mr.Flacus, injected her with EPO, without her knowledge, and initially her coach admitted to this but then retracted at a later stage in the legal process.

The legal proceedings became a quagmire of “he said this” and “she said that” and the judge had no option but to give a lesser sentence and the benefit of the doubt to the muscular female French steeple chase superstar.

For time already served, the impressive looking female athlete will be able to resume her career in November 20 21 and has aims to make the French Olympic team in the marathon for 2024 in Paris.

She is a brave girl because she’s faced a lot of criticism and vilification on social media during the past year.

The French are very good at criticizing people on social media. I live here and I see it every day. That is not a good aspect of France.

an american in paris?

The Claude-Boxberger case is quite complex to understand. We have to come back to the story of Miss Boxberger, who lost her father when she was 13. She was not born in the marriage of Jacques Boxberger, so she had to fight to be recognized as his legitimate daughter. Furthermore, her father-in-law, Alain Flaccus (who was his mother's boyfriend) sexually assaulted her during her teens.

Until 2018 she was just a standard national calibre athlete, I remember running a few regional races where she was among the first females. She ran many many races in 2019 (nearly 35 if I remember correctly) with irregular results. She took Mr Flaccus as a personal assistant to please her family (they never believed he assaulted her). She also began a romantic relationship with Mr Jean-Michel Serra, who was at the time the doctor for French Athletics. They officialized it a few weeks before the EPO scandal. To note, Mr Serra wrote to the French anti doping agency in 2018 asking them to reduce the number of controls OCB had to pass. At the time, there were already suspicions.

I think she really took EPO and had an arrangement with Mr Flaccus in which he had to denounce himself, as an apology for horrors he committed a decade before. However, when she bring him to court for his past behavior, he retracted. But that's just my POV. I think this story is really sad because it hurts an already suffering woman. Her Instagram posts and stories are really cringy, you see she is in pain.

This is a good assessment of the situation. Is she willingly took a poll or not I don’t think we will ever know.

To be honest, she is not really a world level athlete, and her most impressive performance is her 3000 m steeplechase in 931 gets her 1164 points on the IAAF scale,

Actually I was impressed by her 32:35 road 10km performance in Nice a couple of years ago but I’m not sure how she will be able to transition to being a top performer in the marathon in France which would need her to be around 2:30. The depth in France is not very high in the marathon either in the mail or women I’m so in theory she might have a chance to make the team but getting the qualifying time would be a challenge for her. In my opinion, she looks more like a triathlete but good luck to her.

You were right that she has suffered a lot from her vilification and let her get on with her career. I think she was close to suicide at one point. Would’ve been tragic.

En fait, bravo pour votre excellente maîtrise de la langue de Shakespeare. C’est impressionnant. Salut l’ami français.

Typo « Is she willingly took a poll or not I don’t think we will ever know. «  = if she willingly took EPO or not, we will never know.

Other correction:

Corrected copy: “The depth in France is not very high in the marathon either in the male or women and so in theory she might have a chance to make the team”

Yes, but many athletes who show outstanding improvement or good results are assumed to be dopers when that is actually not the case.

There is a natural human propensity for negativity, not only in athletics but in all spheres of life.

Boxberger: no conclusive evidence that she willingly doped. Besides, she has no pretenses of being a world-class athlete and she works full-time so she does not really need to do this.

She aims to make the French Olympic marathon team but many people in France consider this to be a bit of a pipe dream and not entirely realistic but we should not prevent people from dreaming.

She deserves the right to get on with her life.

What is with your cloying admiration for these athletes?

Response to your question:

Their tenacity in the face of adversity because in France people are very jealous and when athletes reach a high-level everybody whispers that they must be doped.

This even happens in club athletics in France - it’s ridiculous.

We don’t talk about bankers who cheat or create loopholes for their clients, people who cheat on their taxes, people who cheat on their wives, and other things.

Agreed. Get on with her life OUTSIDE OF ATHLETICS. EPO cheats out! I don't believe a word of her story and will now be rooting against her in any race I see her name. Hopefully she won't get to compete in Paris.

Any athlete, or human really, is fully responsible for what is injected into them. If someone actually injected you with something while you slept, which I don't believe, you call the police immediately.

I think your wish will come to fruition because it is unlikely that at age 36 in 2024 she will be in the kind of shape necessary to be a contender for the French team in the marathon which would probably take at least 229 or faster to make the team.

She has been running and involved in sports since she was a young teenager so it is unlikely that she will be in tiptop shape three years from now.

However, we feel empathy for her because she was physically and emotionally abused as a child and this probably has had an effect on her psychological well-being.

She is a very emotionally fragile person who even considered self harm at one stage in her life.
