New Shelby houlihan article out in WSJ. Big respect again to gds

“Shelby Houlihan runs in the U.S. indoor championships this weekend. But she no longer thinks that tainted meat cost her trips to two Summer Games.”

😮

... but but but but it was in the burrito! Rekrunner aka Twiggle said so!!

Wait, what? I’ve eaten so many burritos in an effort to enhance performance. Dont tell me i burnt a hole through my colon for nothing.

Can't assume she'd have made the teams anyway. Just like the fact Pre died means people can speculate and fantasize about how he'd have done in '76, whereas he might have lived but pushed himself to an injury, might have finished last, might have done who knows what had things gone different. Appearing in the Olympics 12 years would be a wild stat though, if she gets to LA 28.

You left out the word and in the GDS quote; doing so changes the meaning.

“Regardless of the perceived fairness or unfairness of a doping ban, it is an inappropriate response to call for the end of strict liability and to exploit so-called gray areas in the World Anti-Doping Code,” DeBues-Stafford said in an email to the Journal.

What burritos and where can I get them? I eat a lot of burritos but I am fat, not jacked.

Here is where she still has ZERO credibility. WADA would have tested ALL of her "vitamins" for free in an effort to clear her of any contamination. HOWEVER, she was unable to provide said "vitamin" stash and thus failed and banned.

Wsj pay for the interview?

Also, Houlihan didn’t say that the burrito defense was ridiculous, she said that she understands that it came off as (perceived as) ridiculous. It’s a reminder to always go to the source rather than a summary.

I hope Shelby does well. People feel enabled to attack her since she's vulnerable and was actually caught, but keep in mind the vast majority of dopers do not get caught. We need to go after demanding better testing and reporting procedures, with fewer loopholes such as the missed test loophole.

Shelby’s pathological lying is really the issue here. You can tell us anything you want Shelby except the truth. The truth you shall never reveal, unless it is for a book years from now when you need the money.

Pay Links posters should be banned 2-4 years , depending on intent

What is GDS up to these days

nothing

absolutely nothing

jacksh*t

are you happy?

If I ever lose my job, I'm moving to Eugene and opening a taco truck called "Shelby's Burrito."

This logic is so circular I'm dizzy and can't tell up from down.
