What happened to Daphne Schippers?

She was built like Chyna from WWE. Very intense looking young lady.

But she’s still good to look at

If you are into masculine looking women ... sure.

I have my doubts about all Dutch athletes, honestly. They all look fairly built and seem uncanny fast at their respective events. Sure, maybe they just have a top shelf strength training program in the Netherlands. But something doesn't seem right.

This. Also applies to their winter Olympians (especially speedskating at Sochi.....)

A lot of people get back acne - I did into my early 20s and likely still would if I hadn't hadn't moved onto roaccutane. Anti-biotic treatment did little to help.

A lot of people have very negative side effects with roaccutane so I'm not willing to judge her on that alone.

As regards adult braces, I look at the country the athlete is coming from - if it's a European country where you can get it sorted without breaking the bank, yes there's a question mark. If it's the US and they don't get it sorted until they come into some money, well I understand that. I don't know enough about the availability and cost of orthodontic work in the Caribbean to comment.

Don’t listen to these nuckle heads. It’s a bunch of kids still trying to come to grips with hair on their armpits. Wait til they find out women shave their legs. They’re probably devastated to think women get acne too.

I thought it was back problems as well as other things? Amazing how much vitriol she gets on the message boards.

I just heard that Allyson Felix is a mom!

Does anyone know what happened to Daphne Schippers? Her times this season havent been anywhere near her best, and really not all the competitive. Did I miss something?

She hooked up with Lemaitre and they both made each other slower...

Allyson Felix is a Mom? Where did you hear that?

Classic LRC thread. Everybody is doped - unless they they are Americans. Americans don´t dope, even if they get caught.

Someone should tell NBC. I know they don't like to waste time on human interest stories, but they should at least mention this!

I’m from the USA. Joyner, Jones and Sha’Cari were and are dirty! I’m also concerned that the Jamaicans incredible recent success isn’t only due to hard work and talent but a lot of Pharmaceutical help! In the USA you are presumed innocent until proven guilty! I think it’s in poor taste to trash Dafne because of congenital acne and athletic injury until she is proven guilty. It’s just mean.

I for one can’t wait for her return to the track!
