Shelby Houlihan Sets Up a Gofundme and Website

Someone read through the website for me, I can't it's so ridiculous.

Just accept your ban and move on.

Here is the link.

https://www.clearshelby.com

It states she was provisionally suspended but makes no mention that the provisional suspension was upheld and exhausted. This is a joke.

She will raise $300k in no time. 300 of us at $1k and she is there.

Yes! I saw that! 300K? Are you kidding???

It obviously is not a joke. This is someone's life at stake.

she'll love the pain of long hard shifts at the warehouse

Whatever you think of her guilt or innocence, she has the right to contest the results legally. I think she doped, but also that she is morally innocent given the pathetic state of the sport where runners on rocket fuel, the most obvious sports frauds we will ever see, are celebrated and allowed to cheat with impunity.

She is a proven cheater. There may be many others but to get her out of the sport completely is step one of many in cleaning up the sport. Never let her compete again EVER.

At the time she got banned she was probably one of the highest paid Nike track athletes plus she graduated college, right? So she shouldn't be hurting for money. Also anyone else find it funny she still trying to clear her name even after the evidence came out? Like really, what other nonsense are we going to pretend didn't happen? Sorry, she got caught and should work a regular job now and should be banned from competing till at least after the next Olympics.

Not really a life at stake, not even a career. She has lost the appeal, and was ultimately banned for four years for intentional doping. Done and done.

Now she wants to cash in while she is still somewhat relevant, understandably. If she gets some 100,000s, she can keep training while banned.

Fortunately for her, there are lots of people who don't mind supporting dopers.

As a side note, it's now official as per that web site: they tested "possible meat sources", evidently without finding anything.

This is fraudulent. Nike pays for everything she listed.

She was found GUILTY of doping.

gofundme should take this down

It accomplishes absolutely nothing if there continue to be apologists for other obvious dopers (there are people on here who still think that Ma's Army and the East Germans were clean) and the administration if anti-doping policies is glaringly unequal. Did using the DOJ to nail Armstrong do anything to clean up cycling? Of course not.

She has the right to protest but it should be with her own money (or Nike's money).

She was on the same rocket fuel that you reference for other runners. The difference is that Sifan Hassan on rocketfuel is much faster than Shelby on the same rocketfuel because Hassan has more natural talent.

from the website;

In her pursuit over the past 11 months to fight this suspension and prove her innocence, she has had to pay for the entire process out of pocket – this she cannot afford.

I dont beleive this for a second - freedom of infomation request from Nike?

I cant believe btc/nike didnt help out at all with the investigation.

Jonathan Gault - investigation into fraudulent gofundme from shelby?

I don't think so. She lost her appeal, is reasonably wealthy and can pay her own attorney fees. If Nike won't pay them, why would anyone else?

It did not come from the burrito. I don’t know what to say it just didn’t. The fact that she is still leaning on that shows me that she is probably guilty.

It's honestly sad at this point, get a job and move on. If you want to keep training good for you, but I am not donating money to a person serving a drug ban that was upheld by a court of arbitration so they can wait 3 years to get back on the track.

She posted on IG about the sport needing radical reform bc clean athletes are being sacrificed to catch all the dirty athletes. So it has me wondering, who are the other clean athletes, if any, that are being sacrificed?

This may be worse than the Floyd Fairness Fund.
