I'm not sure how many times this has to be pointed out...
Can someone find me the sob story articles on any other banned athletes? How about some banned black athletes or Russian athletes? Shelby is such a phenomenon because this "tiny" white American woman with "striking blue green eyes!" is serving a ban because she BY HER OWN ADMISSION had a banned drug in her body.
A couple notes about the article.
I wonder if Shelby ever got in trouble for wrongdoing as a child. It seems like she fundamentally doesn't understand how it works. "Intent should matterrrrr". Um, how do you prove intent here? She literally thinks that all she has to do is say "I didn't mean to!" and get off the hook. no. not how that works. pathetic.
I know most of running media is awful but can journalists get their basic facts straight? She didn't eat a pork burrito, she ate a carne asada burrito, and she wasn't up front about that.
Printing trashy puff pieces about Shelby treating her like a victim of a system is ridiculous. Travis Tygart didn't explicitly say he supported Shelby just that he was concerned that positive tests can be triggered by other things. He never specified if this would be possible in Shelby's case. There wasn't a trace amount of nandrolone in her test.
