This is all speculation. Talk to and confirm with your teammate first. When I was in college we were all close enough to have these discussions with each other
Simply leave an anonymous tip with your school’s Head Athletic Trainer; whether that’s a written note, phone message, or other. It is their duty, responsibility, and obligation to then follow NCAA rules, and investigate the situation. The result will be that the accused athlete will then be drug tested.
Was told by a guy in my church who coached a team in the crescent League of Southern Oregon that pre got a head start in a race because of the prevalence of the practice known as "bushing" (roughing somebody up and throwing them in the bushes which could be very disruptive for a runner mid-race). He said pre was given a head start in this particular race. This is not so far fetched since we had a an injured runner from a rural high School "fall out of a tree" and disrupt our third best cross country runner in a district race. The guy who did this was massive, the largest cross country runner I have ever seen. However these are are in the nature of dirty tricks not homicidal retribution which is a little beyond most bushbunnies mentality.

Have them test your college fb players as well, wouldn't want to rob some clean guy of an opportunity to get a college scholarship or go pro
I'm reporting her to the anti doping agency in her home country (yes, I'm on a women's team, I left that out trying to avoid LRC snark which I got anyway).

I admire the "I'm a woman" detail to try to make it more believable, but still clearly troll.
So yet another who cannot believe a college-level athlete would dope. Reality has yet to catch up with you.
College distance running = prison rules. Snitches get stitches. If you say anything to anyone, your next trail run with the team could easily turn into the "squeal like a pig" scene from Deliverance... and Burt Reynolds won't be showing up with his bow and arrow to rescue you.
So, you are putting a curse on the OP that she will get an excruciatingly painful side stitch on her next trail run? "Snitches get stitches", after all.
Synthroid doesn't count because it "balances" hormones. It's not like I've seen experienced runners who peaked in fitness at about a 16:00 5K at 21 years old turn into 2:15 marathons 3 years later because of Synthroid.....but my doctor prescribed EPO...daddy it must be ok.
Thanks for the serious response. Do you think they'd look into it even if my teammate isn't that good nationally yet? Don't want to be too specific, but their best track performance last year was between 1000-1100 IAAF points. They had an improvement of 10+ seconds per mile in each event. They got even better in cross.
I just want this teammate to get tested and either level the playing field or deter them from doing something stupid. If I tell my coach is he required to report it?
As someone who knows what I’m talking about :
There are absolutely NO pills that would improve your times that much, 10+ seconds per mile would be straight up EPO injections, and we’re not talking about micro dosing here.
I don’t even think there are pills that will help your distance running at all, except maybe GW1516, and it’s not even proven to work.
Almost every meaningful substance (EPO, HGH, ITPP, testosterone, steroids etc.) need to be injected subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously.
Yes there are SARMs in pill form but they will not help your running and especially not by 10+ seconds per mile (in fact they’ll probably hurt it, especially if you run them without a test base).
At the end of the day this post is a troll and a very bad one.
Several weeks ago I was looking for something in my teammate's room at a party. Found a couple foil bags with pills inside. They were labeled but not like a real prescription so I thought they were recreational. Searched the names and apparently they were anabolics.
I've been angry for a while. Haven't told anyone and don't know what to do. This is our top runner who is popular with my teammates and coach. Snitching seems uncool to do to a teammate and could backfire. If I confront them I might get iced out anyway especially since I was being nosy in the first place.
Having a hard time with motivation knowing that the teammate who's had the best results with our coach's training is likely doping. Their performances have taken off in the past year. I wish the ncaa would follow through on their policies and fork over the money for real drug testing.
Snitch on that m*****f*****. Some kid who could be running on your team isn’t getting to, because this joker wants to do it the easy way.
Read the rest of the forum. Her teammate isn't exceptionally skilled. Parker Valby is the top female college distance and XC runner in the US right now.

Did you believe any of your teammates were doping in college? These are people who show up to practice with you every day, who you hang out with on the weekend.
Nevertheless if someone is doping, turn them in. Better now when they can use their degree to work than down the road when they've been some years out of college and get popped at a post competition test and could struggle to start a career.
