American runner Shelby Houlihan celebrated winning a silver medal in the 3000m at the world indoor championships after returning from a four-year doping ban. The ban stemmed from a positive test for nandrolone, which Houlihan attributed to a contaminated pork burrito, a claim ultimately rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. This outcome sparked considerable debate, as many found similarities between her case and others where athletes received lighter penalties. Following a difficult period of adjusting to life without competitive running, Houlihan expressed hope that her recent success would lead to sponsorship opportunities and looked ahead to potentially competing in the upcoming world outdoor championships. Despite the challenges of her ban, Houlihan stated her determination to see what she could still achieve in her career. The United States topped the medal table at the championships.
