Have any elite athletes spoken out AGAINST Shelby yet?

It matters because you normally have Emma Coburn or Kara Goucher and other white American accomplished athletes slinging dirt at foreign convicted dopers then when it hits close to home they're somehow innocent? Don't start a Clean Sport Collective group but then decide just because she's a friend or she's a white American athlete under an assumed clean coach/group that there's no way she's doping. The street goes both ways and the silence is deafening

Sadly this is spot on.

I agree.

Shelby earns like a mere fraction of what Lebron and Brady and probably cannot afford a private chef. I’m sure they take advantage of nutritionists and stuff but sometimes, people just don’t want to cook.

I also am not genetically gifted and was never a super elite athlete but I definitely had points in my college athletic career where I had to eat some unhealthy food in order to just get enough calories in to be able to recover from training. An elite athlete training that much can eat some junk food and still maintain low body fat.

What is so bad about a burrito? Meat, rice, beans, cheese, salsa and tortilla. Runners have to eat something.

This has been the most confusing part of this whole situation for me, people arguing about whether or not an Olympian would eat a burrito. I'm sure 99% of her diet is clean food, but getting a once-in-a-while burrito after a hard session sounds totally normal. It's probably not much different from whatever "healthy" food she might eat, just likely a little greasier.

right and how much do Brady/James make over basically any pro American runner

lol, it's not confusing when you consider that probably around 90% of the running community has an eating disorder of some kind but refuses to acknowledge it because such thinking is normalized in the community. Or, that most people don't really understand what's in food anyways... aside from being "high" in calories (for a NARP) a burrito is composed of nutritious foods - wheat tortilla, rice, beans, meat, veggies, spices. If you're a NARP who should be only eating 1800 calories a day, a 1000 calorie burrito on the regular is probably not a great choice. If you're an athlete who needs 3000-4000 calories/day, it's a solid food choice.

Chris, from Clean Sport Collective, speaks up (personally, not along with Kara, but I'm assuming that's Kara's view as well); yes, he thinks she is guilty, but gives great arguments:

Chris has always been against any Nike athlete and the swoosh in general. It is hard to listen to him present an argument when he has always been biased.

So here's the question...what world class athlete in heavy training in an Olympic Year, with coaches, nutritionists, doctors etc on hand goes out and eats at a food truck?

I'm no Tom Brady or Lebron James fan, in fact they are the two athletes I despise the most on this planet, but both of them know their body is their payday and they take excellent care of them. I don't think either would swing over to a sketchy food truck, at least during the season, and grab a sketchy burrito. Runners should do the same and invest in a bubble that surrounds them at all times and keeps them healthy and safe. Both are old for their sports but the investment has paid off and as much as I'd love either to get popped for PEDs I would bet neither would ever do them.

lebron also has a 500 million dollar contract with nike and can afford a personal chef. what does shelby make? 250k before taxes?

Spoken like a true fatty. 75% of Americans are overweight but you call out the world class athletes as having eating disorders. They are the ones who people should model after.

Totally. One of the biggest advantages of being a runner is the incredible metabolism the training gives you.

Wasn't there an interview with Shelby last year about her US record runs and they asked her why she refused to wear the new spikes, instead wearing old-school ones? I recall she said something along the lines of she didn't want anyone to question her performances. No idea about this case, but it just seems odd that someone who has that thinking would then go and take drugs.

Come on. Nike would pick up the tab in a heartbeat and it's in their best interests to do so.

Talk is cheap. Yes, Shelby has said and is saying the right things about doping and even superspikes. The shoe thing is a bit of a red herring, though, because she might have just liked the old spikes more? She might not be a big responder to the new tech — she only raced in them once and it was a pedestrian result. Would she have eschewed super-spikes in 2021? We'll never know now, I suppose.

If it means avoiding a CAREER ENDING decision lik this one, yes they really need to watch everything that they eat and should not be causal about where they get their food and what they eat. >:c

The problem is not that she ate a burrito (or anything else) because that is an obvious lie. The problem is that she's a doper and she got caught.

Good for Molly Seidel. I like her even more now.

Omerta

Ben Crawford, Evert, and friends have made their opinions known.

But they are not elite athletes and like to stir the pot and I don’t really care about what they think and neither should others

If you think that LeBron and Tom Brady havent taken HGH, youre delusional. Body is a temple, my ass.
