Doesn't really answer the question. I’m not really sure you can imply “suspicion” without knowing how the testing selection strategy works. Maybe in part. Does anyone know more about how USADA selects who gets tested? Simply having naturally higher blood values might get you selected more frequently, based on some complex software algorithm using multiple scores, looking blindly at numbers. NOP is surely in a special category, thanks to the on-going investigation (now entering its 6th year). What I find interesting, based on your presumption and logic, is that Shalane is more “suspicious” than Jordan, “in USADA’s eyes”. Apparently USADA thinks differently than Shalane about who you chose to surround yourself with, and what that says about you.

"Most tested" implies "most suspicious" in USASA's eyes. I don't think there's a flaw in the logic there. Note that "most suspicious" does not necessary imply "most likely to be guilty." USADA's suspicions may not have a strong basis.
