Keira D'amato is Suspicious

OP wrote, "I can't believe we're actually going to pretend she's doing this clean." That's a clear doping accusation. It's not speculation, it's a doping accusation. And the Lets Run note on the post is hilarious....libel is encouraged because it leads to less cheating.

The OP documented a time progression which he/xhe is free to disbelieve, but summarizing it with a clear doping accusation is libelous.

She’s extremely suspicious. She just set an American record in the marathon at 37 years old and now ranks #22 on the WORLD all time list. She just ran the marathon just barely above the pace (literally only 6 seconds per mile) over her 5K and 10K PB. She’s been tested by USADA once each in 2020 and 2021. That’s it. I’m guessing she’s microdosing EPO.

Accusations are, by their nature, speculative. Libel would be saying “Keira D’Amato is a convicted doper” which simply isn’t true.

Or something like "I personally injected Keira with PEDs"

The OP was clearly offering an opinion.

Innocent till proven guilty.

Coach's note to self:

Make sure you keep improvement levels and race results slow and gradual as your prople progress. Otherwise the sages am armchair experts are gonna come after your runners for a boatload of infractions and breaches.

It's a false statement. She's doing it clean. It's published, false, and injurious.

That's not how any of this works.

Nothing weird about a 37 year old mother of two to break a long-standing distance running record.

Just eats a lot of burritos, I guess.

Yep, I was just going to say . . .

She has an AR and you have your mom's basement.

haha.

Nothing strange about a former 6th place finisher in NCAA XC having untapped potential in the marathon. It’s almost like humans have immense potential to run very far at moderately quick pace as long as they take care of their bodies and work hard.

Sure, I'd like to see OP hide behind the public figure canard. On the legal advice of "FartKing69" lol.

Oh God. Here were go. People waiting to peak until they're middle-aged.

All pro records in this sport are suspect. It is PEDs all the time.

Yes, there’s nothing strange about a former 6th place NCAA finisher running a good marathon. The key word there is “good,” like 2:30 good. Also, “as long as they take care of their bodies.” What is it that you think PEDs do? It enables an athlete to recover and repair their body after an immense volume or intensity of training.

Explain how, exactly, you think this contributes at all to having a "cleaner sport."
