Great response on the houlihan question. Too many biased people who aren't experts and havent followed the details commenting with absolute judgement as if they are.

[@stevendeckert6373]

Yeah I think it was fair.

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

Yeah … a cross contaminated beef burrito with enough nandrolone in the pork to trigger 2.5-3x legal limit. Which they went back to the place and couldn’t prove that the meat there has nandrolone. Now the food truck business plans to sue her. Yeah, that sort of don’t know any facts or being an expert on food contamination huh? 🌯👌🏼 All good. Innocent until you eat a tainted burrito 👊🏼

Still the winner in my book

Wouldn't be surprised to see her making team USA at World champs next year (maybe in another distance?). A home world champs would be a perfect farewell.

She is one of the greatest athletes to represent track and field and is a role model for young athletes everywhere. Have loved watching her run at Drake Relays over the years...Good Luck in all you do in the future Jenny and thanks so much for the memories...

[@unknown-lf6zx]

Always enjoyed her tactical running. One of the best ever! Hopefully we will see her a world champs or road racing or move up. Has to be hard not to make the team. Great athlete!

[@CandraEvans20]

I hope she keeps racing for a long time, and whenever she decides to retire, I hope she stays connected to the sport either coaching or commentating. 😊

[@TW-fv2zu]

Last time she REALLY let it Rip - giving it to ALL of Team Nike & Alberto Salazar.... Interesting this go-around, more chill. Wonder why the low key tone? ***Micro dosing is very easy to do and highly utilized in Endurance sport....

[@rasher331]

I would say she got a lot of flack from the last time and decided to keep quiet plus she has probably raced a lot with Shelby over the years so they might be friends. I think a lot of people tuned into this interview thinking she might let it rip again. That is why they put it in the title of this video as click bait for viewers

[@thomasgraham665]

Ms Simpson is a wonderful sport, but Ms Purrier looked so much stronger and confident when they were side by side before the race. In the final analysis Ms Purrier is a far better runner.

[@rasher331]

What a stupid comparison, you are comparing two women, one nearly at the end of her career and one at the peak of it. You do know you slow down as you get older?

[@peters6119]

As many other commenters have said, Jenny is a dignified, gracious individual, even after a great disappointment. Her answer to the tough Shelby Houlihan question was fairly diplomatic, and I appreciate that she didn't come out and pretend to know whether or not Shelly's explanation was true. She sure didn't support Shelly, that's for sure. She made it clear that we should let the experts determine Shelby's guilt or innocence after letting other experts make her case in defence. Jenny is a great representative of her country. Some American athletes are too brash, too arrogant and too disrespectful, but she is a great representative.

[@robertmarino2158]

Jenny is a special young lady , I have watched her race for 8 - 10 years ,! Her dream was to race & be the very best ! I do know her, talked to her , shared stories ! I am so very proud of her & what she & the sport has accomplished ! I have a pair of her N . B. Running shoes she signed for me , women shoes , I will always cherish them & all the wonderful memories , pictures & visits we had ! A true American loving her sport , I watched young girls get excited around her ! I sure did ! Luv you Jenny !!!!!!!!

I've seen for many years now that to many runner in the US run to win the race and not run for the best time in each race . We don't know how to race anymore - just sprinting the last part of the race ...

[@mstrunn]

WADA should come out with the evidence they have on Shelby, the amount of steroid found in her system was so minute that it would not have helped her in any way, and Btw, that is not how steroids are introduced to the system, not by eating anyway and that particular type of steroid is used for recovery not enhancement; did Shelby make a mistake, yes, 10 hours before a test I'm wondering why she would go to a food truck, athletes are so disciplined, personally would you trust a food truck? My main point is, WADA show us the evidence is there more to it to have ruined this woman's athletic career?

[@foxxymorony]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYXKoZqXibeIqcU. The threshold for nandrolone 2ng/ml she was 5nl/ml. Have a watch of the link above

[@axelarroyo3286]

You have not read the facts. Shelby had a significant amount over the limit and we have no reason for that now since she did not order a pork burrito. It's also pretty weird as normally after a positive test it's announced right away. This was announced half a year later. There is no reason for the late announcement. Shelby was a scratch on at least one race. Her team said she could not race but said she ran a great time trial. Why did she not race? Bc she could not due to suspension. So why enter at all? It's ridiculous. Nike is ingrained in everything here and they delayed official announcement thinking it'd be overturned and they could sweep it under the rug. I don't see how one can be satisfied if this suspension is overturned.

[@mstrunn]

@@axelarroyo3286 5nl/ml will do nothing to enhance performance and would she be so stupid to inject the drug knowing fully well a test was looming? The drug is found in meats and until WADA comes out with more evidence I side with Shelby's explanation and the integrity of Jerry Schumacher, I have read the facts and quite frankly what they have published is garbage.
