that's her narrative and she's sticking to it for professional reasons. i feel for her in that she only did what the top 10 in every event are also doing...she's just having her reputation ruined for it, while other prolific athletes (who are also equally dirty) get fame and fortune.
Notice the change in the narative though. Now she isn't taking vitamins or supplements. Interesting.
My suspicion all along was that she doped due to sketchy supplements and she possibly was unaware that they contained nandralone. That would have actually been more believable. And its consistent with her word vomit. But that wasn't her story because you are responsible for any supplement that goes into your body. You can't just blame sketchy suplements, because why were you taking them in the first place. Totally different than food.
If that was her story from the start maybe she only would have gotten a 2 year ban, like many people do. But she made up an unbelievable story about a burrito.
"Some word vomit of thoughts on my run today: I’ve still continued to get drug tested thankfully (although WADA/AIU has not tested me once since my ban), and I was tested this morning. I welcome and support this but I can’t help but also acknowledge the fear and anxiety that now comes with it. I no longer take vitamins or supplements because I’m honestly terrified of everything. I ate chicken last night and have a small portion of it in the freezer, just in case. Maybe I’m the only athlete that feels this way, but is this really the answer? I agree that athletes should be intentional and mindful of what goes into their bodies but is there not a better way for this system to operate? To be completely held accountable for systematically low standards for our food/meat supply or for our supplements seems harsh in my mind. And why is there no accountability for these systems or for the anti-doping governing body as well? Am I wrong here? How do we fix this?"
My only thought is that if meat were really as rogue as she seems to think (or supplements) then way more people would be facing a suspension than just her. But it's really only her.
She never has any solutions either.
(I haven't followed every detail of this story.) - But honestly, if I were Ms. Houlihan, - I would have gone straight back to the food-van, maybe with a public notary and a camera-person. - asked for meat samples or buy the items - then have them tested. ALSO, I'd ask for details of where they get their meat. - AND certainly, before too long, have it out with the food-van operator, for selling contaminated meat to everyone. Plus tell the health department. Maybe get a female friend of similar age and size, to eat from the van and see what a drug test comes up with. - and probably sue the van for lost income etc. DID she do any of those things ??? ...or just put all the blame on the 'governing body'. Surely, she should want to govern her own body and not just point fingers. with words and vomit. Has her vomit been tested ? One silver-lining in all this is, that despite the ban, Ms. Houlihan is still free to run as much as she likes - just not in a sanctioned event. (...unless it's the Enhanced Games.)
IF she is innocent, I just hope that Covid sweeps though Paris and the games are delayed until Ms. Houlihan is eligible again. - BUT stay away from them pork-crossoints in 2026 hey Shelbs !!! ...and try for victory in the 1500 menteuse !!

She would need a policeman with a warrant, to do some of the stuff suggested in your first paragraph. The food truck people did nothing wrong and she would have had no right to harass them.

Good to hear from a professional food-inspector. Sorry, I was unaware of the protocol. ...food-poisoning etc. has to be accepted in silence. ...at least I now know my wife can run a food-van after all. yay !
Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I run from you This tainted burrito you’ve given I give you all a boy could give you Take my tears and that’s not nearly all Tainted burrito (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted burrito Don’t touch me, please I cannot stand the way you tease I love you though you hurt me so Now I’m gonna pack my things and go Tainted burrito (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted burrito oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted burrito oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted burrito (oh-oh-oh-oh) Touch me, baby, tainted burrito Touch me, baby, tainted burrito Tainted burrito (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted burrito (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted burrito

yeah, but 'Tainted Love' was about AIDS, not PEDs. ...I have heard anecdotally that it's hard to give AIDS to a burrito, in the back of a busy food-van. Where I come from, we say '"If the burrito is rockin', don't bother knockin'............unless you're Shelby with the hunger pangs."

There was no food poisoning and zero evidence there was offal in her asada beef burrito. They would tell her to take a hike. I’m not a professional food inspector and neither is Houlihan.
Another braindead take. Nothing about my response implies false positives from meat contamination. Instead, it implies false allegation of intentional doping from contamination in general. The inability for basic reasoning regarding the Shelby situation, from otherwise intelligent people, is mind blowing
The has never been contamination, there was only a dirty athlete that got caught and failed their test.
...isn't eating a food-van burrito the same as using a diuretic ? ping ! ..."It's coming out of me like lava". ...and yes, by then, it's too late to take back the remainder for a full refund.

jeepers...I suggested BUYING more samples of the meat. No wonder the van-carnies don't have a normal job, if they'd tell non-vegans to take a hike over a simple follow-up burrito or enchilada order.

I am not a chemist - but Shelby LOOKS LIKE THE TYPE.

That is deranged behavior and would get you sued.
Deranged ? ...my POINT is that an innocent person would do ALL they could to get to the bottom of things. - by doing things LIKE my suggestions and probably more. ...it seems Shelby didn't. ...which points to guilt. ...BECAUSE the burrito wasn't actually involved. Savvy ????? .........and just for YOUR peace of deranged-mind. - I DO NOT believe Shelby WILL read my Letsrun post and go back to the van and then get arrested etc. IF she IS arrested and penilised as a result of my post - I pledge to personally apologize to Shelby - and take her out for Mexican - my treat.
