Mclaughlin lack of celebration after WR/Olympic title says a lot. Drug cheats have difficulty giving authentic celebrations and feel the guilt. Her circle is filled with cheating minds who know a lot about cheating. She may be protected as well like Bolt was.
Mu and McLaughlin are more suspicious than any other American's at the moment.
Progressions look pretty consistent to me. Anybody who makes the Olympic semifinals within days of turning 17 is a remarkable talent that does not need any "assistance" to be a champion. Femke Bol is only a few months younger and has made faster progress in recent years than McLaughlin has at 400m and 400H. Is she suspect?

You don't know what you're talking about. Sydney McLaughlin has never celebrated after her races, going all the way back to her freshman year in high school. Some people just aren't celebrators. Just because someone doesn't celebrate doesn't mean they use drugs.

Not saying she's clean but this is an absolutely horrendous argument, plenty of caught dopers were celebrators, such as Kiprop. Many cheaters are able to justify it to themselves and don't feel any guilt, like Shelby.
Why does Bobby Kersee get a pass when his reputation is far worse than Salazar.
Maybe Bobby Kersee is a more likeable guy. Al Sal suffers allegations of digital penetration. Al Sal was given an 800m gem, Mary Cain, just slightly slower than Ajee Wilson, 800m, close in age to Ajee Wilson. To Al Sal, everyone looks like a 1500m to Marathon athlete. Al Sal suffers allegation of sexual relations with one of his athletes. When one is a jerk, the hammer will come down on said person.

The doping cynics are stumped by prodigies like Sydney and Mu and Jakob. They somehow don't want to acknowledge that track inherits a tiny percentage of ultra rare talents who destroy all the norms, just like virtually every high profile profession.
Bol is a bizarre data point the other way. I started seeing her in Netherlands YouTube videos when she was perhaps 16. Every race was exactly the same. Tall gangly girl who lumbered around the track wearing long stockings, often being passed by multiple runners early in the race then passing them back towards the finish. I never thought she'd be more than a fringe candidate to make the national relay group.
But she is extremely dedicated and found an excellent coach in Bram Peters who patiently worked on her weaknesses and suggested 400 hurdles in 2019. That was the breakthrough. Bol was stumped by 400 flat pacing. The 10 unique segments in hurdles played to her strengths of organizing and analyzing. Then Peters combined with Meuwly to redefine her physical profile. Added strength equated to greater speed, simultaneous to maturing out of her clumsiness. She maintained the endurance as everything else caught up.
I don't think Femke Bol can be used as an example of anything. It won't repeat. She went from last place in two consecutive Dutch indoor 400 finals to world record holder.
