Her whole history with the doping violation came out of a refused test after the Gold Coast Marathon - which she finished, placing 2nd, in what was (would have been?) a qualifying time for the 2008 Olympic Trials Marathon. Even if that result was later "erased" because of the doping violation (was it even?) I don't think you could call this year's Chicago a marathon "debut" for her.
Correct. Not a debut. Believe she got popped again for some similar tue issue. Here's original story: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2007/11/13/track-star-suspended-span-stylefont-weight-boldcorrection/
2014 Chicago marathon is her "Debut" in that they scratched her first marathon in Australia due to the inhaler she used. What kind of idiot doesn't prepare a TUE form. that's like doping 101
she ran 2:37 and change so she failed to meet the A standard by seconds...She easily made the B standard...so it'll be interesting to see what happens with scherf's career .. will she focus on only marathons? Will she get back on the track for 10k? I feel like she's talented on the track but running chicago has me doubting her olympic goals on the oval...btw why the helll doesn't he train with a group, always solo???

LOL if you believe it was an inhaler that caused her to believe she would fail the test.
what do you think it was?
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?

Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
