There are different testing pools with corresponding levels of frequency of out of competition testing etc.
How fast can she run the football 40?
Looking at her instagram page, her boyfriend is really punching above his weight. Good for that guy though.

Prime example of how well epo works. Not even out of breath when she finished, looks like she has changed to the dark side after Doha.
That is blatantly wrong. I had the privilege of training with Elle this summer for a brief period of time and have met her on multiple occasions along with her coach. They are very against the idea of epo and are devoted to a clean sport. What has this world come to where we doubt each and every performance.

She was calm as could be the final laps. Insane composure while Koko was writhing.
What makes you so sure she is clean?

That's not fair!
What has she done to not earn the perception of cleanliness.
She's a heel striker. Will never get anywhere with that ;-)
Elle: a few steps from the finish, clock reads 4:14.
Commentator: the meet record 4:19 might be in danger!!

You know who must be REALLY be psyched right now? NB teammate Jenny Simpson....the last women to beat her, with a 4:17 at 5th Ave. Jenny ran an easy win in 8:51 on a slow track today.
Purrier joined the New Balance Boston team in 2018 after graduating from UNH. Her team has been doing altitude training this winter up in Flagstaff.
Simpson has been with New Balance since leaving Colorado in 2010. She is still in Boulder, training under her college coach Mark Wetmore.
Elle Purrier is going full Uceny on us... suddenly a a contender out of nowhere. I was super impressed by her 5th Avenue Mile performance, but this is the real deal. No Vaporflys, no downhill road course, no doubts. She even seems to have a kick. It sucks that she will need to run like 3:47 or so to win gold. It’s all about those retroactive medals nowadays! 7th place in 2020, silver medal after the doping busts.

Does Purrier train with Simpson? If so, that does create some suspicion. Wasn't Simpson the one who criticized the NOP athletes for shady connections, then word got out that she is a patient of Dr. Brown? Not a good look for the NB Boston group if Simpson is a part of it. I am not sure if she is though.

What does that type of breakthrough and shock remind you of? Only thing I can think of is Solinsky's 2659 but admittedly their wasn't a barrier to be broken here unless you think of it as the 4:00 barrier.
Her time converts to a 3:57.8 1500.
Reminded me of Jenny Simpson breaking 4. Is Purrier essentially training alone at UNH with her college coach and doing all this? The 1500 women’s is too loaded though.
No she switched coaches almost immediately after graduation and has been training with New Balance Boston with Mark Coogan since then. Just did a training camp in Flagstaff I think? from social media. Her college coach has not been involved in almost 2 years, she's 10 seconds faster since the coaching change

And how do you know this? 4:02/14:58 doesn't get you tested?
