Her fastest 200s by year:
2018 - 22.18 (her PR before this year)
2019 - 22.69
2020 - 22.63
2021 - 21.61
She ran a .58 PR and ran a full second faster than she ran in all of 2019 and 2020? Sorry, I call BS. Remember, she missed 3 drug tests last year.

She was only penalized for 2 missed tests.
I'm not saying she's clean (I pay more attention to mid distances) but she had a PR of 22.18 as early as 2018.
There's a massive difference between 22.18 and being the 2nd fastest 200m runner EVER with a 21.61.

Over that distance an improvement of that scale is huge. She has also improved a full second in a year. Like so many others, it comes after Covid and reduced testing. I call doping. Another reason to suggest that is if she is clean she would likely be running in the region of 21.00-.2 if doped. The fastest doper in 33 years ran 21.34. So she would be faster than that. Nope.
give it some time with the testing. the usada officials are freaking out because their tests for their star runner matt centrowitz are coming back positive. one he lets off the epo and burritos they should catch her
The fact that they allow 3 missed tests shows you they dont take testing seriously and it's just a PR front and opportunity to get bribe money. Appalling and disturbing. WADA and USADA should be ashamed of themselves.
She also got a lot leaner this year. Look at this Instagram post for 2019:

I feel like most of her progress can be attributed to that.

Doping will help you shed fat and retain/gain lean muscle mass. You are helping my argument.
All I could think of when she crossed the line was Marion Jones.

Fraser-Pryce has done something similar. She has gone from a PB of 22.13 to 21.79. And don't let's forget she just ran this new PB when she is almost 35 years old. Both Thomas and Fraser-Pryce's times are highly suspicious to me. Let's not forget as well that while Thomas is 5ft10 Fraser Pryce looks like she's about 4ft10. Something is not right with these performances.

Yep, same goes for Shelby. She got faster because she got leaner. Nothing to see here.

This Shelby photo seals the deal for me. Among other things
Not going to waste time reading all the comments...
But just maybe she was a little busy getting a degree from Harvard. And it might be possible that the Harvard coaching staff isn't as good as her current coach.
But then again, she’s faster now than she was at the peak of Jamaica’s drug testing being horrendous.
There’s MAYBE a fatigue argument to be had - it’s been basically a year of off season training, no peaking etc.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re all juice to the gills.

Yeah it's definitely because the Harvard genius couldn't find a couple hours to train each day while in school........definitely NOT because she misses drug tests and is almost definitely doping.
Cole Hocker was in school full time this year and he was so busy he barely won the USA Championship by outkicking an Olympic Gold Medalist. Clearly he'll run 3:26 in the 1500 immediately after finishing school.

i wouldn't count 2020, citing that is misleading.
Well her coach in college is considered very good (Kebba Tolbert), so it isn't like Buford Bailey introduced concepts that Thomas hasn't seen before. It does make the PR drop suspicious.
