Forget 2025. I'd like to know what she can do on a burrito free diet. Is there any evidence she is off the juice? Like a PED test result in the last year?
She should take as many PEDs as possible the next few years and then stop right before she gets unbanned and just destroy everyone as a “clean” athlete. Checkmate WADA.
According to the USADA testing, she's been tested 6 times so far this.
For comparison:
Cranny 5
Fisher 4
D'Amato 6
Olivia Baker 8
Sisson 5
So she's still one of the most tested individuals in US track and field.
Numbers don't include testing carried out by AIU/WADA as part of world athletics athlete testing pool.

But why can't Houlihan officially announced her "retirement," train on her own for 2 years, take whatever substances she wants, and then a few months before her ban is up announce that she is making a comeback and go back into the testing pool?

If she announces her retirement her ban is paused. So if she retires, she won't be tested, but she must serve the rest of her ban while in a testing pool if she wants to return to competition.

So example. Hypothetically she retires tomorrow for two years So that would move her return to competition date from Jan 2025 to Jan 2027.

LOL, the only black person that has arguably run the least significant times of anyone in that group gets tested the most. Hmmm...
Is this a “during the ban” women’s WR? I’m serious, she could hold the “during the ban” WR in multiple events. No certification needed, just an instagram post with a picture of her garmin display.
I thought the rules of a ban were no organised training or racing?
Training with a coach whilst banned will get that coach in trouble for example.
If you know that someone is serving an anti-doping ban, and you associate with that person in a “professional or sport-related capacity”, then you are at a real risk of violating the Prohibited Association Rule, and could face up to a two-year ban from all sport if this is your first violation. This ban from sport can also be increased by up to an additional two years as part of the aggravating circumstances rule. Longer bans will be given to second and third offences, with up to a lifetime ban from sport possible. Some examples of the types of association that are prohibited under this rule are: Receiving coaching; Receiving training; Obtaining advice regarding strategy or technique; Obtaining medical advice or treatment; OR Obtaining nutritional advice from any person currently serving a ban.
The WADA Code 2.10 prohibits association with any banned "Athlete Support Person" (e.g. coaches, doctors, nutritionists), with no mention of banned Athletes.
The WADA Code 10.14 prohibits her training and racing organized by Signatory members and clubs.
In the Runners World interview, Shelby said she is not associating with BTC coaches or athletes.
Banned athletes can organize their own training privately.
Why is Olivia Baker getting tested so much? She has been stuck at the same time for 7 years.
If it's not a suspicious progression, it's either association with suspicious people like Drug Cheat Houlihan or a suspicious test result that results in more tests.
Such criteria are actually published. You can also go back and see when they started testing Houliham so much, until she finally got caught.

Code 10.14 says a banned athlete can't even use facilities associated with a club which is associated with USATF.
Where is Shelby training and racing? Who is coaching her (I refuse to believe she is now self coached), who is pacing her in these time trials? And who she training with?

Lot of smoke here in my opinion.
All great questions. I would add one more: can the definitions in the WADA Code could be reasonably construed as to consider Houlihan an "Athlete Support Person"?
I have no answers beyond letsrun's article stating the lawyer stating:
"Houlihan’s lawyer Paul Greene stated that Houlihan "has been training in a manner that is completely permitted by the World Athletics rules in compliance with the World Anti-Doping Code.""

In the interview she put out a week or so ago she said she is still being tested.
