And Athing Mu is in Cancun thinking about leaving Kearse.
One could hope - I'm kind of convinced at this point that she was a teen phenomenon who was amazing at the sport and extremely talented but didn't love the sport. She won her gold and was like what's next? I can't blame her and I kind of wish people would let off her.... So she can come back for the LA Olympics and dominate again!!! I imagine she will come back better than ever in 2027 and 2028
Actually, her greatest career achievements came after her positive test.

June 2017: News reports about her test were published
July 2017: Runs her 1:55 PB and breaks the U.S. record
August 2017: Breaks the U.S. 600m record
August 2017: Wins her first outdoor global championship medal, winning bronze
September 2019: Wins the Diamond League Final
September 2019: Wins another world championship bronze medal
February 2019: Breaks U.S. indoor 800m record
February 2020: Breaks her own U.S. indoor 800m record
March 2022: Wins world indoor gold
That’s because they let her continue with her doping. She was suspiciously let off while Shelby for example, had to take the suspension. They were both guilty.
She is past her prime, but I would guess she could have run 1:54.4 or so with bicarbonate. She was a great one.
Waaaaah! Waaaah! Bicarb and shoes make my favorite runners of the past look slow as they are being completely erased from record lists! Waaaaah! Waaaaaaah!
