"I grew up with the Olympic dream of competing for Great Britain. My first ever race was there and it's hard to erase your national identity. It was an easy decision!" -Charles Hicks, interview with Athletics Weekly, December 2022
The money quote from Hicks regarding Jerry really makes one wonder about Shelby.
Makes you wonder what? I think you are assuming drugs, but I’m not sure why in the world would it make you think drugs? Jerry has coached scores of runners over the years and Shelby is the only one to test positive. So if trusting Jere = drugs, then why haven’t other people test tested positive?
The money quote didn’t make me wander anything. I LOVE it, ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT when an athlete has full confidence in their coach. I don’t care whether it was Weldon Johnson with John Kellogg 25 years ago Hicks with Jerry now. Or the D3 Xc champion Emmanuel Leblpnd here in Baltimore with the Johns Hopkins coach Cullen Doody.

Please explain.
Yes, when Jerry said neither he nor Shelby had ever heard of Nandrolone, I suspected that this was not a straightforward response to the situation, and then when Hicks essentially says he does whatever Jerry advises, yeah I connected the dots, whether they should be connected is up for debate, but sometimes where there is smoke there is fire, and other times there is just smoke.
