Relevance of half life

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm not sure the half-life section is relevant - there were five days between the two negatives, which could be enough time to explain a positive in the middle according to this information. (I've also seen the half life described as 34 rather than 36.)Random name (talk) 12:09, 5 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Editorial?

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I'm wondering about a few lines in the drug results section of this article. In particular; "It has been noted that the positive test was sandwiched by two negative tests, each within a few days of the positive result." This is included with no further details; it seems to imply but not actually say that the results are in question. This should probably either be removed, or expanded to actually say the results were questioned with relevant cites, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Random name (talk • contribs) 10:01, 14 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

I agree, that statement does seem a little weird. I've removed that sentence unless someone can provide further reference.Philipmj24 (talk) 19:18, 14 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Seems wrong to immediately nominate this for GAR while it's on OTD but I have a problem with the article. Mainly, the article has not been updated at all. The article just ends at 2015 even though it's 2023 and a quick search shows that there's probably at least something mention post 2015. Also the personal bests table looks uncited.

She retired in 2016, so this needs to be added in. Curbon7 (talk) 01:20, 12 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
