It states that the performance-enhancing substance was in its system because of apork burrito She ate a few hours before the test.

In December 2020, Shelby Houlihan, 28-year-old who holds the American records of 1,500 and 5,000 meters, bought the burrito of a food truck near her in Beaverton, ore. Only 10 hours before being tested, according toIllustrated sports. Nandrolone, which can be found in pork organ meat, is also known to increasemuscular Mass, Sports Global Sports Lawyers Paul Greene.

InA POST INSTAGRAM, Houlihan-who participated in his first Olympic Games in Rio de Janeio in 2016 - says she is "devastated, lost, broken, angry, confusing and betrayed" by the ad.

The Instagram article of Houlihan reads in its entirety:

"Since I started running when I was 5 years old, I dreamed of running professionally, set records, win an Olympic gold medal and be one of the best in the world. J Always thought blindly that I was good enough to reach these things.

As I am older, I put more time, more kilometers became more dedicated and I learned to really love this sport. This is what brings me the most joy. This is where I feel the most of me. I have always done the right way. I put my head and I just worked to be better year after year. I stayed patient and trusted what work and coherence would show.

I always have all the same dreams I had when I was 5 years old and I was incredibly lucky to have been able to reach some of them. I always have others that I work. But the thing that really motivates me is the love and joy I receive from what I do and curiosity to find out what is my potential.

On January 14, 2021, I received an email from the athletic integrity unit (IAU), informing me a sample of drug tests that I supplied on December 15, 2020 came back as a discovery Adverse analysis for anabolic steroid called Nandrolone and that I am therefore subject to immediate interim suspension. When I had this email, I had to read it more than ten times and Google what I had just tested. I had never heard of Nandrolone.

I have since learned that this has been understood for a long time by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) that eating pork can lead to a false positive for the Nandrolone, because some types of pigs naturally produce in large quantities. Pork organ meat (offal) has the highest levels of Nandrolone.

Within 5 days after being notified, I put together a newspaper of all that I consumed the week of this test of December 15th. We concluded that the most likely explanation was a Burrito bought and consumed about 10 hours before this drug test of an authentic Mexican food truck that serves a pig shelter near me in Beaverton, in Oregon. I notified the IUI that I thought it was the source.

Although my levels are compatible with those of study topics that have been tested 10 hours after eating these technical guidelines of the source and WADO forcing the laboratory to consider it during the analysis of Nandrolone, the laboratory n 'has never counted this possibility. They could have reported this as an atypical discovery and followed with other tests. Anti-doping experts I told that they should have. I did everything I could prove my innocence. I had a polygraph test. I had my hair sampled by one of the largest toxicologists in the world. WADA agreed that the test proved that there was no accumulation of this substance in my body, which would have been if I took it regularly. Nothing has moved the laboratory of their initial snapshot decision. Instead, they simply concluded that I was cheater and that a steroid was ingested orally, but not regularly. I think my explanation corresponds to the facts much better - because it's true. I also believe that he was rejected without proper process.

On June 11, I received the news that the Court of Arbitration did not accept my explanation of what had taken place and forbidden me sport for four years.

I feel completely devastated, lost, broken, angry, confused and betrayed by the very sport that I liked and just versed to see how good I was.

I want to be very clear. I have never taken any substance improving performance. And that includes the one I am accused. I believe in sport and pushing your body just to see where the limit is. I am not interested in cheating. I do not do that for braces, money or people to know my name. I do that because I love him. I have so much pleasure to do it and it's always the best part of my day. "

In another recent case, the Brenda Martinez runner has tested positive for hydrochlorothiazideBut finally been erased After proving that the chemical has entered its system through a medicine it took. Houlihan plans to appeal the decision of the case.

While the burrito she ate did not make his patient, consuming food without knowing the dangers she can arrive at anyone. For example,The Burger habit is continued by a client After recently hospitalized with symptoms of Norovirus. This is also why groceries are recalledLike these five items at Costco.
