The problem with Shelby’s suspension is that it covers two Olympic years even though the spirit of the standard four-year doping penalty is to cover just one Olympic year.
The elegant solution to this problem is to let Shelby compete this year so she has the opportunity to qualify for the Olympics, then have her serve the fourth year of her suspension next year. This is the fair thing to do.
Who’s with me? Let’s use this thread as a petition to let Shelby compete this year.
I agree. I mean the obvious PED user Shacarri just had to miss the Olympics and nothing else for "Marijuana." Shelby is more morally upstanding than Shacarri, I guarantee that.
Thanks for supporting the petition!

Fixed that for you. I respectfully disagree, however as no evidence has been provided that She was caught with anything more than marijuana

Not good enough. As pointed out numerous times, she is innocent, and the authorities wrong + corrupt + incompetent. Tucker didn't get it either, but our letsrun expert Dr Twoggle Rekrunner with doctorates in Science and Engineering and Statistics and Agriculture and Law and Logic got it right right from the start.
Free Shelby!

Better yet, she should have been banned only on days she didn’t race.

The spirit of the standard? Do you even believe this crap you’re typing? The spirit of a 4 year ban is 4 years.

I have to say, whoever you are - this is a genius thread on so many levels. An absolute classic LRC message board thread. Love to see it on a quiet Friday.
Nah, the "fair thing to do" would have been to not take PEDs.

My elegant solution still requires her to serve 4 years, just not 4 years consecutively.

I’m in favor of accountability. I think she should receive a lifetime ban unless she publicly admits to her doping.
That isn't a problem that is a benefit. The more a cheater loses the better.

That’s not the current doping penalty in the rulebook. The current doping penalty is 4 years. My elegant solution aligns with the rulebook, just in an innovative and fair way that still fulfills the spirit of the penalty.
nah
An even more elegant solution is to have her serve the ban she earned and compete again once she's completed it.
That doesn’t solve the problem of her missing 2 Olympic years.

That "problem" is one that she created so it's really not a problem.
