Article focuses on how her mom is a professor at Univ of Michigan who wants Gabby to get a PHD and how Thomas got a masters in public health and epidemiology while as a pro runner., and how Thomas does "up to 10 hours a week, overseeing a team of volunteers managing the health of about 70 patients suffering from hypertension."
Good, sprinting doesn’t take as much time endlessly slogjogging as distance does, so she can accommodate more meaningful things in life than just running around.
I like when athletes plan for a post-competition life, especially away from the sport. I'm looking forward to her next 200 PR. I'm using this post to reference Dr. Delano Meriwether, who was a medical student before he was a sprinter. Google him. That windy 9.0 he ran was crazy. That guy was amazing. I learned from this post that Douglas has a whereabouts thing. I'm honest and ethical but terrible with administrative stuff. I'd be 100% clean but guilty of laziness.
American sprinter Gabrielle Thomas's provisional suspension for allegedly failing to make herself available for anti-doping tests has been lifted, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said on Friday.
Plus she provided "new evidence" after the ban was announced? Why didn't she do that when the AIU asked for an explanation for that missed test?
Plus even if her version of the evidence is correct (phone records + witnesses), that only shows that she was at home when the tester came, not that he didn't come to the right door. Maybe her party was too loud or maybe the doorbell too quiet?
So many questions, but neither party is providing the answers. Does anyone know a track & field journalist?

Missing a test only becomes public when you miss three and receive a suspension. As far as I can tell, there's no way to know when athletes miss two (and thus stay under the 3 test threshold). For all we know, most athletes miss a test or two but it isn't publicized.
Do you think she was forging her location data? Again, she may not have had the data when initially questioned, and was able to get it by the time she filed an appeal.
The data shows she was in the right location and the AIU accepted the explanation that the doping control officer was at fault for failing to find her. I don't think there are many questions to be asked here. Seems to be pretty cut and dry.
Does it talk about how her mom is a crazy left wing academic who thinks math is racist?
"I’ll give you a multiple-choice example I wrote. It’s a drawing of a family sitting down to dinner, a pretty Eurocentric, regular American meal. There’s a clock at the top. And the question is, what time is dinner? That item on its face seems perfectly neutral: a family sitting down to dinner, we’re asking about the time. But it assumes a lot of things that are white-centric. It assumes that families sit down to dinner all together on any given evening at exactly the same time. And there’s just copious amounts of food laid out on the table. For many children, this is not their experience. Maybe their parents are working into the evening. One works the night shift; one works a day shift. Dinner doesn’t always happen at the same time. These types of items are white-centric without people even recognizing it... Why can’t we have an item that is about students preparing meals for Black Lives Matters protests, and they are protesting holding asylum seekers at the border? Or about disparate dress codes for middle schoolers?"

yes its always an important part of journalistic bio to investigate the political views of people's parents! This is critical for me, a free thinker, to judge the value of the person being discussed! Why was this missed!

The AIU has a shoot first, ask questions later manner about them.
I can‘t find the final report, but was this not the case when the doping control officer failed to ring the bell or even knock at the door?

Pepe may be a bigger douche than Kobbs. I’ve peeled potatoes that are sharper than both of them.

Supposedly the article is about her mom. I don't subscribe, this I am asking for more details.
