Have any elite athletes spoken out AGAINST Shelby yet?

So here's the question...what world class athlete in heavy training in an Olympic Year, with coaches, nutritionists, doctors etc on hand goes out and eats at a food truck?

I'm no Tom Brady or Lebron James fan, in fact they are the two athletes I despise the most on this planet, but both of them know their body is their payday and they take excellent care of them. I don't think either would swing over to a sketchy food truck, at least during the season, and grab a sketchy burrito. Runners should do the same and invest in a bubble that surrounds them at all times and keeps them healthy and safe. Both are old for their sports but the investment has paid off and as much as I'd love either to get popped for PEDs I would bet neither would ever do them.

+1 And you were right about both Tom Brady and LeBron James and with Brady he’s an extremely clean eater almost fanatical with regard to health and he does not consume any sugar for example. LeBron James has a personal chef who earns a very nice salary for providing super healthy food for the King.and you were right about both Tom Brady and LeBron James and with Brady he’s an extremely clean eater almost fanatical with regard to health and he does not consume any sugar for example.

You’re right it does not make sense for Shelby to eat at a food truck and when I look at the bodies of these female runners like Flanagan, Shelby and Quigley what I noticed is they all have six pack abs and very low body fat so it’s almost counterintuitive that any of those runners would eat at a food truck.

People comment about Jimmy Gressier and his constant fast food eating at McDonald’s but I guess he is the exception that proves the rule.

i mean the news came out less than 24 hours ago. Im sure every athlete at the trials bowerman or not will be asked about this so we’ll see what the best responses are

Kara's silence is deafening

Maybe because Justin Gatlin really did dope and Christian Coleman really did miss his third test because he was at Chipotle and Wal-Mart during the one hour a day he was supposed to be home to be tested.

Exactly, same event, and Jenny has spoken out before. But Jenny should lay off this story and focus on the trials.

The blojos’ pals get to troll us by pretending that maybe they believe her. It just gets the controversy going and the hits going. This forum is barely browsable on a cell phone and there’s all sorts of sh^t that I accidentally click on just trying to scroll through it ...it sucks.

I’m a big Nike stock shareholder & have been since I invested my bar mitzvah money at a young age . Nike makes money off mainstream sports so who gives a flying toot about track and field. I like Nikes marketing teams and how they are able to charge $80+ for a dry fit shirt now and maybe $200 for a Jordan hoodie. I buy all my technical running shirts for ~$15 at target

I disagree. She is working in a journalistic capacity for a network. She is supposed to report the facts not take a side.

To be fair - given he was at Chipotle - even if he got back in time, he might still have tested positive apparently.

Steph Bruce? Surely she will champion decency.

Her mom just passed away, so I think she has bigger fish to fry.

Kara was in the press conference - if you watched the full press conference I think you will see that she seems to believe AIU and WADA need to enact change. Her question seemed as if she believed Shelby was wrongly accused. Apparently, AIU and WADA have a bone to pick with USADA

She participated in the Press Conference. No other reason to participate than if she was going to publicly voice her opinion. She sounded more interested in the politics of WADA and AIU than Shelby. So that honestly led me to believe Shelby.

There was a video on this board when Kessler ran the 3:34 that showed him and his Michigan buddies all discussing and eating their favorite slop burritos.

I'd bet quite a few top athletes chow down on good stuff. Young, lean, burning calories by the thousands every day - I bet they crave pizza, burgers, tacos, and have no reason not to go for it.

What a preposterous assertion.

If she is innocent I’m wondering why she didn’t have all her supplements tested. I’m sure she takes supplements and those get contaminated regularly. There are no FDA regulations on supplements. A beef burrito with enough pork fat to go 250% above the threshold is entirely unlikely. Supplements taken in the evening, I could believe.

Hmm. That didn't stop any athlete from crucifying the NOP in public a few years ago. Now they're just sitting on their thumbs trying to work out their hypocrisy.

I remember the hypocrisy of the NOP debacle. Specifically Nick Willis launching onto social media to declare the group the worst collection of people ever to touch the track, then claiming that he said nothing before the bans came down because he was worried about awkward elevator rides at meets and such.

The exact details of her testing numbers and whatnot should be released before people start to speak out. We’ve only heard one side of the story so far and that’s Shelby and her team’s. I’m sure there’s more to this than we’re being told.

exactly-2 sides to every story--jesus I never heard Jerry Schumacher speak for more than 20 seconds in the past, and we listened to him rant that he never heard of nandrolone before-really? playing dumb in my opinon and track isn't as clean as we wish it to be...

Paul Chelimo speaks out, hmmmm. Remember what I said about projecting? This guy is not clean and it's pretty obvious.

You’re speaking out about Paul Chelimo, hmm.. projecting? Are you dirty?

Nevertheless, outspoken or shy about doping, it means nothing. BTC was outspoken and are now clearly dirty. Others have been the opposite and every combination in between.

Shelby is dirty... sorry 🤷🏽‍♂️

Side note... has anyone in WCAP ever tested positive?
