I didn’t call you dumb, but sorry about that. You can’t say that for sure though. She ran on an oversized track not at altitude vs usas at altitude on 200 m track. Also the tactics were different. The point is that you can’t discount the importance of mental side and getting a solid race under your belt before a high stakes situation
The generous take on this quote is that she doesn't think the public and media need to know every TUE that is granted or what doctor they are seeing or have seen in the past. I don't think she believes an athlete can withhold that info from USATF and USADA under the guise of "medical privacy"... just that reporters and the public don't need to know the details of her medical visits as long as she is compliant with her testing and reporting. I have no problem with athletes brushing off questions like that as long as they are not under a cloud of suspicion, which she isn't. It is a trap question, trying to get the athlete to say something that is click-worthy but not otherwise news-worthy. It's lazy, blog "journalism" at its worst. Next time, she should just ignore the blogger and move on to the next question.
