Shalane Flanagan Turns Down Late Show with Stephen Colbert
November 06, 2017
I have noticed that many pro-runners are rushing to pay respect and say congratulations to Shalane, while no one seemed to even care about Hasay's 3rd and blazing fast time in Chicago on that day.
Btw, ironically, Hasay congratulated Shalane as well.
Because winning is everything.
Hasay has class.

3rd place is second loser
DRUGS. that's why
NOP is dirty. WE all know that. They just haven't been caught. It's that simple.
Everyone is intimidated by Hasay.
The big shout out praise is for setting records or winning the race. That is kind of it.
PRs, strong races, podiums, etc., just don't matter in the same way.
Paula seems to recognize that as well.

What's "ironic" about Jordan congratulating Shalane?
Jordon is clean and the future of US marathoning. We need to support her.
L-c IVs are legal, but do you consider that clean?

I always figured hasay wouldn’t have a stellar pro career because of how college went for her. She had success but seemed to be at her peak.
Not because she’s running well now, but because of how gracious she is to congratulate her fellow Americans runners when they do well and handle the scrutiny of them doubting her judgement. This is why I have become a big fan of hers and I genuinely hope she continues to have success! I will continue to root for hasay!

the downside to bitter people vs classy people. shalane trashes the great chicago performances, and in return gets the high road treatment. bitter alpha bullies get to treat others without class and then are rewarded.
OP, it's pretty obvious. Desi's tweet says it all.
Many - including Shalane herself - are skeptical of the NOP.
Shalane was the one to explain why. NOP is under investigation and right now it just feels like all their performances are fishy. For a while, Galen bared the brunt of the suspicion against them. But it's just not logical to assume that anyone there is innocent. Don't get me wrong, there are still a lot of questions that Galen personally needs to answer to. But Jordan has been with NOP for years now, and it's odd that she pulls a 2:20 marathon out of seemingly no where. It could be completely clean. I like to believe it is. But it's hard for many to say that with confidence given the cloud over NOP for the last two years.

I take such an issue with this post above. Jordan made a choice to train with them, and continued to stay with them even in light of the allegations against them which have continued to mount. "handle the scrutiny of them doubting her judgement" makes it seem like people who knowingly work with coaches who have been investigated are somehow innocent victims to the big mean running community in all of this. Again, Jordan may well be doing everything clean and I sincerely hope that she is. I don't want to disrespect her. However, we should not offer her any additional credit or some sort of protective shield against suspicions either.
'cuz this was supposed to be her swan song and she's worked so hard for so many years and is recognized as clean.
Do you live under a rock?

Rojo is the leader of this cyber bully board against the NOP.
Jordan is not under investigation by USADA, but you can't seem to wrap your head around that.
Guilty by association is not a worthy argument

Such an idiot you are or maybe not.
If you can prove one NOP athlete has tested positive for anything Ill wire you $1000.
