SEIDEL IS OUT OF WC MARATHON, has stress reaction in sacrum + TUE not approved

Is D'Amato next in line?

Source??!!!

I wonder how prepared Keira will be for this?

Verde Track Club Instagram has a statement saying she's out with a stress reaction in her sacrum after ongoing hip pain since Boston, and TUE process still ongoing.

The follow-up Twitter post mentions the stress reaction issue.

Is it the bs TUE or is it the hip?

she says both.

She doesn't say both. She says stress reaction was the immediate cause of the drop out.

She also says they are still working on her TUE. You do not still work on it if it is approved.

She said in NY that she will not race again unless the TUE is approved.

Translation. BOTH

Bumped the nyc 10K thread yesterday asking if she had gotten her TUE since something was definitely up with how quiete she’s been on IG. I guess this is it. And sounds like if it wasn’t the hip the TUE would still have been an issue.

Also if this is the same issue from boston how or why was there no MRI til now?

Players in every other sport are MRI within hours of any sort of possible injury.

I'd bet the TUE is a red herring and she likely had a positive test for dextroamphetamine or similar, and is trying to backtrack a TUE claiming a need based on ADHD. We've heard about her ED and mental disorder, but she has never mentioned ADHD or quieting her mind until recently and this TUE application. I'm not buying it, she's been too quiet lately.

Ahhh. The “I’ve lost all respect for her” bit. News flash- She doesn’t give a rat’s ass about earning the respect of the piss ants on letsrun.

Huge fan but I noticed Molly's issues a while ago. Though she is well rounded, she had somewhat of a socially dormant experience as a teenager. Then wham, bronze medal, Time, Espn and Newsweek along with 229k followers instagram.

This got to her. Exposure to alcohol got to her. Caffeine got to her. Adderrall has gotten to her.

Whatever underlying mental problems were there are now on the surface.

But this post will get downvoted for noticing.

What kind of BS excuse is this "hip pain" from Molly Seidel and Coach Jon Green? How did Seidel's previous injuries all magically go away overnight after she switched to Coach Jon Green for the Olympic Trials and Olympics? And now she suddenly develops "hip pain" while seeking to get a TUE to use PEDs? This is total BS

Really sorry to hear this. Between Boston and this, a tough few months for her professional-wise after such a high last year. But I'm sure she'll put a brave face on it, and if in fact she uses this time to get healthier in other areas of life, it'll be worth it in the big picture.

In past interviews, she has mentioned dealing with several sacral stress fractures throughout her career. Yes, she's prone to hyperbole, but there's definitely a pattern there.

Wish her a quick recovery and return for fall racing.
