Usually when you start a thread title with "you heard it here first," it means that you actually know what the news is and you are sharing it. We didn't hear it here first because we still don't know what "it" is.
Not sure if you're familiar with Rojo and his loose grasp on the English language. It frequently slips away from him, this is one of those times.

Carmela Baez posted on her instagram story “Some exciting news coming later today.” They could be adding her to the squad.
Good for her but there is no need for a press conference for that.
They’re just going to make a couple of announcements about injured athletes who won’t be able to compete

The Bowerman Track Club has called a press conference for 3:30 pacific. They never hold press conferences.
The Press release says:
The press conference will be held over zoom to invited media. During the press conference, Bowerman Track Club athlete Shelby Houlihan along with coaches Jerry Schumacher and Shalane Flanagan will be making statements regarding the U.S. Olympic Team Trials.
Do you know anyone who was invited? I'm wondering where we'll get the actual news from.

He definitely tested positive too. Hopefully, the whole BTC is going down. Houlihan is probably doing the press conference since she’s fighting it.
I don’t understand why it’s become socially acceptable to completely make stuff up in a way that is defamatory.
Not making anything up. Jager was reported as “likely doping” on an official WADA document that got leaked. Rojo also just basically confirmed that Shelby tested positive. Then you have Salazar, a bunch of sprinters, and Nike’s nefarious dealings in the past. Nine is dirty, plain and simple.
I think this press conference coming up will verify this.
Head she tested positive, and is claiming food contamination. We'll see what happens...

Well we said what we heard on the podcast. We said we heard she had tested positive and was fighting it with the contanimated foor like Ajee Wilson. We asked her agent Stephen Haas about it a week or two ago and he said he had heard nothing about it.
It seems like there are three options.
1) It's not about this (she could be injured).
2) It's about this and Haas lied to us.
3) It's about this and Haas didn't know as Houlihan kept him in the dark.
The “tainted meat” argument is complete BS. Do you know the likelihood of consuming meat with a banned substance in such a quantity that it registers a positive test? It’s basically impossible. If she tested positive, she was caught. As an athlete, you’re responsible for what you put in your body.
I’m getting to the point where I’m suspicious of every Nike athlete. I will be pulling strongly for all non-Nike runners (Lyles, Hoppel, Nuguse, Simpson, Purrier, Coburn, to name a few) at these Trials.
You are correct, "an athlete, you’re responsible for what you put in your body", but everything else, you are as wrong as a 3 dollar bill.

Maybe she'll go after the AR in a time trial instead.

I doubt they would hold a press conference to announce a positive drug test for Shelby. More likely scenario might be that she's injured. Also, I noticed she declared for both the 1500 and 5k at the Trials. I thought that double wasn't possible? Could alternatively be an announcement of what she plans to do.
I’m really hoping it’s your last sentence although it would be weird.
Sounds more likely that it's doping related after rojo's post.

Only if it's involved with Six. Really dirty if there's also another Nine involved.
any idea where this is broadcasted/where we can watch?
This reeks of the classic story of the cyclist who tested positive.
Call a press conference to announce the positive test in an attempt to get in front of it. State that they are sure when all the evidence is presented that their name will be cleared. Fight it tooth and nail. Eventually admit to the infraction. Maybe after other athletes implicate you.
Its definitely about an injury and how she is scratching

Just basically confirmed...
Well there you have it folks. PROOF POSITIVE!
What more do you need other than a "just basically confirmed...."
It's practically Gospel Truth at this point!!!
Take it to the bank!
No need to confirm, just basically confirm your thoughts here and we'll call it good for today!
The way this is being handled, it sounds like doping.
