What a reaction. Rogers went from 7th to 2nd in the last 100. Gotta feel a little bad for Ajee.

Common Rojo ! Feeling bad for Ajee "tainted meat" wilson???This was a good thing....The supposed clean sweep goes up in smoke!!!
Great! I would hate to see a doper win gold. Too much to ask for those Phily dopers to finish out of the medals.
Typical of the US - find any excuse to not suspend a top athlete who tests positive. Interesting comments from Athletics Illustrated below :
"American middle-distance runner, Ajee Wilson from Philadelphia, PA, tested positive for a banned performance-enhancing drug Zeranol, which is sold under the brand name Ralone. The positive result was taken from a urine sample on Feb. 11, 2017, at the NYRR Millrose Games in New York. She will lose a record and forfeit some winnings, however, will not face suspension.
The United States Anti-doping Agency’s public statement on the matter does not pass the Athletics Illustrated smell test.
The non-suspension discipline was handed down by her own anti-doping agency, USADA. They claim that Wilson ingested tainted beef that contained the Zeranol, which is apparently legal to inject into cattle in America, but interestingly not so in Europe.
Three-quarters of USADA’s public statement regarding Wilson’s positive test was about their process for handling the case as well as their efforts to test athletes and their general responsibilities as an anti-doping agency. It was a sales pitch on due diligence.
If a Russian athlete tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug and the test results and disciplinary hearing were handled by the Russian Anti-doping Agency, would the athletics world accept an identical disciplinary result? The short answer is no.
How about Turkey, where three dozen athletes tested positive for the anabolic steroid Stanazolol in 2015? How about Jamaica and their preference for stimulants or Kenya and EPO, the red blood cell booster?
According to USADA, her dose was so low, “demonstrating low parts per billion concentrations“ that it apparently was not enough to provide performance enhancement. There was no mention that they determined during the investigation that they ruled out micro-dosing. Perhaps they caught her at low ebb? Micro-dosing is a popular practise to avoid positive results. Apparently, that road was unnecessary to travel down.
USADA said that during its investigation into the circumstances that led to the positive test, they gathered evidence from Wilson, which included reviewing her dietary habits and food purchase receipts.
Does a 23-year-old jet-setting international athlete really keep and file food receipts? It is highly suspect that they actually investigated receipts for purchasing groceries.
USADA should have available those receipts if they are going to make a claim like that.
If the test results were so low that they do not provide performance enhancement and as they also claim in the statement, “she did not test positive the week before,” meaning it must have been a recently ingested beef-food product, then why take away a record and winnings at all? She, in their statement, was basically saying that no performance enhancement took place.
Either it did or it didn’t happen. Their statement and disciplinary process is rife with contradiction.
Something other than tainted beef smells rancid here. "
Jesus is this board just full of Russian government propagandists now? Im seeing weird pro russia posts all over the place. Wejo? Rojo? Do you care about russian agents posting here? Here is a comparison: the usa corrupt president is being impeached. Russia's is basically president for life and locks up and kills his opponents and critics.

Most people buy everything with a debit card or credit card. Tracking down the grocery store's copy of the receipt is rather easy.
How are USA runners corporately a "team"? Did they run with "team" tactics like they do in cycling/autos?
And why does it matter that Nakaayui is from Uganda?

Holy bejeezus. What the hell is wrong with you? Are you the biggest idiot alive?? You can't be serious with this Russia infiltration can you? Wait, you possibly are...
Nakaayui should have been disqualified after her semi. This sport is dirty in more ways than one. As for a nobody charging her way to a wc title, I'll buy that just as much as tainted beef.

I used to be a manager at a large retail drug store. If a person knows the date of purchase on their credit card, it is easy for a store like Target or Safeway to no exactly what was purchased.
I actually picked her for 2nd or 3rd today after that prelim (assuming she didn't get DQ'd or anything). But what an upset winning over Ajee!!! And man, I sure wish Raevyn had started her charge closer and had caught her!!!
Lots to wonder about in this result.
Is Uganda as bad at testing as Kenya? Worse maybe? Uganda has never had women runners of any import.
Also I agree with Goule that Nikaayi should have been DQ'd in the semis. She ran like she was trying to take other runners down.

Bunch of slow people in her way, clogging up the lanes. She pushed through and blasted by them.

Correction: through them.
Actually she had a vintage Makdaddy finish. Mow em down on the juice.
Anybody that saw her semifinal shouldn't be THAT surprised.
