2740233, Shelby Houlihan is as elite as they come, Posted by allStah, Tue Jun-15-21 12:04 PM
and is easily top 5-10 in the world at 1500 and 5000m. She owns the 1500m and 5000m AR. She’s a sub 2 min 800 min runner. Her PR at 1500m is 3:54,making her a serious medal threat in all championship races. Keep in mind Hassan and Kipyegon just ran 3:53 last week, so no telling where Houlihan’s speed is at the moment.
She is hands down America’s best women’s distance runner on the track.
So there is a huge possibility that her success is the result of taking PEDs
Her defense simply has zero legitimacy due to the levels of her test result, and her B sample also came back positive. So there was no error or inconsistency with the testing process. Her attorney requested that the samples be sent to an independent lab for further testing, and CAS denied the request, and rightfully so.
Athletes saying they are clean or have a history of being clean carries zero weight in these types of situations, because history has taught us that so called clean athletes are some of the biggest drug cheats in the sport.
