(AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall) If you’re an Olympic athlete, you might want to steer clear of steroids.
That’s particularly true around testing time.
Just ask 28-year-old track and field star Shelby Houlihan: In December, her world came crashing down courtesy of the World Anti-Doping Agency.
And now — just a week before Olympic trials — she’s been handed a four-year ban.
The 2016 Olympian was considered a real contender this time around.
In 2018, she came from behind to take the USA Track and Field national outdoor championships 1500m women’s national title: That year, she became the second woman to ever to win both the USATF 1500m and 5000m.
More from RunnersWorld : She set the 1500-meter American record of 3:54.99 in October 2019 at the [ Doha World Athletics Championships ], where she finished fourth. In 2020, while all major competition opportunities had been canceled due to the pandemic, her team hosted a series of intrasquad meets. On July 10, Houlihan ran 14:23.92 for 5,000 meters, breaking her own American record of 14:34.45 from 2018. She hadn’t competed yet this year, and on Monday evening, her absence was explained: The December 15th test had sidelined the sprinter.

But her story isn’t what you might assume.
Specifically, Shelby had registered positive for nandrogen, which — per NBC Sports — is “an androgen and anabolic steroid known to increase muscle mass.”Via a virtual press conference, sports attorney and Global Sports Advocates founder Paul Greene told reporters she did nothing wrong: “Shelby is an innocent athlete. What happened to her is entirely unjust.” Head coach Jerry Schumaker is heartbroken: “I don’t have the words to articulate the depth of sadness I feel for you.” Following her test, Shelby reportedly retraced her dietary steps.Her team believes they’ve found the culprit that unfairly flagged her: [They believe] the result came from a pork burrito Houlihan purchased at a food truck near her home in Beaverton, Oregon, and ate the night before the 6 a.m. test. According to NBC, World Anti-Doping Agency documents have previously noted that meat consumption — particularly that of swine — can result in the presence of nandralone.They’ve been […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
