Just now at a meet in Poland, Addy Wiley ran 2:31.49 in the 1000m. According to Wikipedia this breaks the previous record of 2:31.80 set by Regina Jacobs all the way back in 1999!
We merged two threads into one and originally kept the second thread title “How appropriate: Suspect Addy Wiley - who is deeply linked to Nick/Lauren Johnson - breaks doper Regina Jacobs US 1k record “ . We have now edited the title.

And in the process defeats seven Poles, winning by 8 seconds. I understand people who can’t get into the top European meets often find lower level opportunities but this looks strange. Can’t they get her into a more competitive field now?

10th fastest all time for world women is 2:31:11 so she is right on the edge of top 10 all time and most of the women ahead of her in the top 10 are really shady (East German, Russian, Soviet Union, Semenya).
The same Regina Jacobs that was banned due to Balco?
You yahoos want to celebrate this garbage, ok. You do you. But it is a farce. You can make a complete mockery of this sport if you are willing to burn your reputation down to embers.
This sounds reminiscent of Alan Webb's low key American record in Belgium.

She is turning into a superstar right before our eyes.

There is nothing unusual about this performance for her. It is right in line with the rest of her performances. I am not saying she is clean, but this 1000m should not be the basis of your allegations. It is about what one would expect for her.
Sure. You know why I stopped taking this site seriously. Because it is not that I think you yahoos are stupid and naive. Which generally you are. It is that you guys seem to actually enjoy the shadiness. You get off on athletes making a complete mockery of the sport. This whole story is a pathetic scandal. But you like it and feign ignorance. Fake it to make it all the way then. Lol.
The power of steroids, epo and utter shamelessness.

Her race is about 50 minutes in to the meet's official YouTube stream. The stream is still live right now, but I imagine they'll archive it.
I wish to see a replay. I imagine she soloed it?
No. This is a Wiley thread. You are thinking of that washed up Tuohy girl.
Too bad she did not peak fo US trials, which is highly suspicious considering her associations and rumors. I was hoping she'd be in Paris.

She is becoming who I thought Katelyn Tuohy would become and do.
Then it is a thread about scandal. I told people a few days back that what makes the AW situation so noteworthy is the incorrigibility and the brazenness, that they triple down on scandal every time. So you knew that in the post Olympic testing window we would get this nonsense. But the sport cannot police itself. And the "fans" are oblivious or worse.
You thought KT would take shortcuts, burn her reputation to the ground and cheat? Damn. Lol.

Riddle me this: who is Wiley’s entourage? Meaning, who if there in Poland with her? Her coach (who is that?)? Her agent? Is an adidas rep traveling with her? Or is she solo with a partner? Her parents? Takes a village. Who is in this Adidas group?
2 the gills!
Holy cow. I think she can break the 1500m American record right now. She looked smooth from start to finish.
