Shelby Houlihan, the middle-distance runner who currently holds two U.S. records, says she s been banned from the Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for the steroid nandrolone. Houlihan says she s clean and is blaming the test result on a pork burrito she got from a food truck.
Anti-doping officials don t agree with the runner. They ve handed Houlihan a four-year ban, just before U.S. Olympic trials for the track and field team will begin in Eugene, Ore., this weekend. I feel completely devastated, lost, broken, angry, confused and betrayed by the very sport that I ve loved and poured myself into just to see how good I was, Houlihan said in an announcement on her Instagram feed.
