Jonathan Gault has written an in-depth feature on what Shelby Houlihan's prospects are moving forward. He quotes 3 shoe execs as to whether there is a market for her, has quotes from her new agent Paul Doyle and also a quote from Jerry Schumacher as to whether or not he'd want to coach her.

Shelby 1, WADA 0
So my friend, you clearly didn’t understand what the reports said.
Executive summary:
- she is a tested positive for a synthetic PED
- she produced an idiotic and completely implausible defence based around a stupid burrito story
- a cabal of clueless fools tried to defend the indefensible and fooled precisely nobody with an understanding of basic science
- she is a obvious cheat who lied
QED
Interestingly, according to Gault, her agent said that Nike is "one of the brands that are very interested in her", but Shelburrito hasn't decided yet. What's taking her so long?
When Gault reached out to "three shoe brands, who were granted anonymity in order to speak freely", they all more or less politely declined, however.
