Isn't that her thing? Being injured?

She fired Danny Mackey and Brooks backed her allowing her to stay under contract.

*was all that. She had a good run but is a contender no more. Now her life is Instagram pics with her bf.

She's only just been allowed to go back to doing any running workouts, it seems like she had to step back as part of her ED recovery.

Allowed? Is this China? She is a free adult.

Probably as an unwritten condition of her sponsorship - wasn't it Brooks who was insisting she go to treatment? And probably not as altruistic as it sounds - clearly her ED contributed to all her injuries and if they're paying someone they want them to be able to make it to the line. Also probably suggested by her doctors/treatment center.

Allowed, as commonly used by English speakers in this context, relates to instructions given by a medical professional helping the person recover from an injury or illness. When someone says recovering from a stress fracture says "I am out of the boot but the doctor won't allow me to run on my leg yet", it does not mean that the doctor has literal control over whether the patient runs.

99% of health problems in the US result from overeating. Almost none result from undereating. Yet a sponsor can make these demands. Imagine if they demanded female runners not gain a certain amount of weight because it causes injuries and many other health problems.

WTF? My guess is you're one of the lucky few who have not experienced any major health problems in their life. For the vast majority of us however, the amount of food we consume is not a factor in our health problems. It's also none of your business to comment on someone's diet, especially when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Imagine how sad your life must be where you define people by what you believe is their political stance. There's more to life than "owning the libs." You really just own yourself with all that wasted effort that ultimately doesn't matter.

No. You obviously don't believe the science.

LR attracts people on the spectrum. Many LR posters are not able to process non-literal human communication, nor are they able to understand nuances related to context.

Disregard 1st link.

SJW types generally self-label or self-define. We're just taking them at their word.

And I'm ok if you label me a right wing conservative. Proud of it.
