I will also say this, if an apparently doped up Houlihan could only go 3:55 with a strong kick at the end but was not a factor in Doha you're putting a lot of speculation on Purrier.
There is no scenario that exists where Purrier, unless she was actually sick, wins this race short of the top 5 just forgetting to set their alarm clock and show up. She was so far away from being a factor in this semifinal it's just silly to try and convince yourself or someone that she's a factor. You see all these people finish in 8th or 10th place in a final...that person is Purrier right now.
