Big development: Woman who falsely testified in Jarrion Lawson case is one who popped Houlihan. Houlihan ordered a carne asada b

Or a quick squirt from a syringe into the straw. Boom. Done.

You think she's not drinking an unopened or her own drink? Do you really believe professional athletes are just this promiscuous with their bodies and their engagements?

I had decided to join the LRC subscribers club but I'm re-thinking after thus piece. Do I want to support journalism based on one party's account and barroom hearsay?

Gault is usually very good, but he's dropped the ball as a journalist here and he's basically writing as a fan. He hasn't waited to weigh the AIU evidence, he's taken the story of Houlihan's team and decided to believe it. Imagine judging a case in a court based on only one sides evidence.

LRC has seriously screwed the journalistic pooch here and descended into Fox News territory

So her claim is someone spiked the food or the food had steroids?

Ayotte always comes to the rescue of Wada.

She should be banned from this as there is a conflict of interest as she is a wada lab head.

Yeah this is pretty 'tankie':

That opinion was due in part to the respect that many afford her coach, Jerry Schumacher. The consensus view — not the unanimous view, but consensus — is that Schumacher’s group, the Bowerman Track Club, does things the right way. Most of the people I respect in this sport hold that opinion. And I could not help but think of that as I watched Houlihan explain how she had never even heard of nandrolone before receiving the news of her positive test in January. How Schumacher, usually media-shy, delivered a fiery, impassioned critique of the AIU and WADA (“Shame on you! Shame on you for not caring about the truth. Shame on you for using athletes in a political chess match”) in defending Houlihan’s name. How Shalane Flanagan, her heart breaking, described “living a nightmare that we can’t seem to wake up from.” Again; if this was all an act, a ruse, it was extraordinarily convincing.

With how Jerry really stood up and provided evidence and testimony against Salazar he’s definitely.... wait a minute, he didn’t do anything and sat back.

Hey there J Gault!

And got 'second opinions' for his athletes that were sus

I'm not a pro track coach, I'm not a pro track athlete, I'm not a pharmacist or a chemist. I'm a retired computer salesman, but like most track fans, I've heard of nandrolone.

Case closed.

A very well argued and documented point.

The the letsrun crowd totally ignores every point and argument to smear the messenger.

What buffoons

Unfortunately, you seem naive or mentally slow, but maybe you weren’t even born at the time of the Ben Johnson case.

BJ was a big fish when they took him down. SH is not quite as big of fish, but there was still a lot at ‘steak’, so some entity, even within her circle, may have wanted to ‘fry’ it.

mentally slow because one doesnt believe in your covert theory of sabotage?

know who ben johnson is. also know about 30 ppl in T&F popped for nandro.

Carry on though -- im sure youll have another terrible theory in a couple pages.

As best I can tell they are claiming that an uncastrated boar may have been spotted in the vicinity of the food truck.

WAIT.

She blamed contaminated PORK for a specific food truck, but has no relevant history of eating pork from that food truck?

But the beef burrito she was ordered and served was "really greasy" (according to her)?

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

Canadian lab? Canadian teammates? Even Ben Johnson was Canadian at one time. Full circle? Life can be stranger than fiction sometimes.

All 4 of these statements were meticulously choreographed to deceive the public and sway public opinion in their favor. They crafted their press conference wanting you to believe that she ate a pork burrito from a Mexican food truck, or food cart, or restaurant depending on who's lie you believe, and that was the cause of her failed test. They had to say it was pork, because if they said it was beef, their story falls apart. There is no evidence of a pork burrito and if you look at their statements, they don't even claim she ate a pork burrito, They all got together and prepared statements that were precisely misleading enough as to give the appearance that she ate a pork burrito. They knew the statements were misleading at best, outright lies at the worst.

Shelby's Statement:

"We concluded that the most likely explanation was a burrito purchased and consumed approximately 10 hours before that drug test from an authentic Mexican food truck that happens to serve pig offal near my house in Beaverton Oregon. I notified the AIU that I believe that this was the source."

Shalane's Statement:

"In December of 2020, she ate dinner from a local Portland food cart, she unknowingly ordered a burrito with meat that contained nandrolone. The following morning Shelby was tested by the AIU."

Jerry's Statement

"Shelby's positive test was for an exceedingly small amount of a substance, that is known from WADA's own studies to be present in certain types of pork, less than 12 hours after she ate at a Mexican food truck that served pig organ meat."

Lawyer's Statement

"And in Shelby's case, she ate uh, she ate a burrito about 10 hours before, from a Mexican restaurant and that we concluded very, very early on, contained pig organ meat. Pig organ meat is one of the sources for nandrolone."

Perhaps if they are relating their truth it will sound the same.

Yeah but you started a thread calling these lies (they aren't) which is in fact a lie by you.
