    Hopefully this will be enough to convince some of the Tuohy fans to lay off the Valby doping accusations. Really annoying and offhand comment by the reporter.

    Again...that's fine if that's your opinion, but we shall never ever tolerate a reporter asking a DB or QB for Alabama or clemson if they hit the weight room in the off-season right? You can ONLY objectify women correct? Doesnt sound like equity. But ok. She's an elite woman ncaa athlete that clearly put on some muscle. We ask male athletes about it all the time! Do we want double standards or not?

    Reporter speaking to Valby that he's "noticed she put on a bit of muscle."

    Tuohy's reaction (she says "dam*") is priceless.

    She's clearly disgusted that the reporter went there.

    Let’s continue discussing the appropriateness of the reporter’s comment and Tuohy’s “damn” for another 79 pages.

    Well, if this thread is gonna hang around I may as well comment on it. I think most of us want women's sports to be given the same respect given to men's sports. That question to a man is ho-hum, especially if there are rumors the guy is doping. No different that it was asked to a woman. Different standards aren't going to fly.

    This thread confuses two separate questions. If a runner is asked about changes to their own physique that is one thing, but there is no reason why they should be expected to comment about another's.

    You might be confused here. Parker was asked about changes to her physique and Katelyn said “Damn.”

    Well that certainly confuses it. I didn't see the clip but from the discussion here I inferred Tuohy was asked about Valby. But if the question was put to Valby I wouldn't have thought it was an issue for Tuohy.

    It seemed like the reporter was trying to say, "Parker, since high school, your results indicate an uptick in fitness and strength, and that is so great to see as someone who has followed you since high school. Can you tell us, what has changed in your training since high school that led to this increased strength and fitness?"

    This is sport. A question related to training isn't or shouldn't be off the table. Parker actually addresses the question in this manner.

    The reporter may have framed it a little roughshod, but..idk Parker got the point. If the guy was truly a fan, then it's unlikely he would be alluding to doping allegations (huh?) So..idk Katelyns response seems a tiny bit performative here, but I appreciate her dedication to injustice lol

    As I said above, I had understood that the question had been put to Tuohy. If this wasn't so I doubt that it ought to have mattered to her. But if the question had been put to Valby that changes to her physique may have aided her fitness that hardly seems objectionable. This thing seems fairly exaggerated.

    This is hard evidence that there are no stupid questions, just stupid people who ask questions. Tuohy's reaction was great.
