The newspapers heralded him as “Portland’s Al Capone.”. That was overselling it. Paul Remaley never ordered the mass murder of his enemies, like Big Al supposedly did with the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. Nor did he have hundreds of police officers, judges and politicians on his payroll. But he could...

American track star Shelby Houlihan, a 2016 Olympian and the U.S. record holder in the 1,500m and 5,000m, took to Instagram Monday to argue that her positive test for the steroid nandrolone came from eating… wait for it… a pork burrito. Say what?. According to Houlihan, she received an email...

PORTLAND, Ore. — Jeremy Wooldridge had just finished mowing the grass around his tent when he saw a truck pull up in front of his homeless encampment. He’d spent the past two years living here alongside a dead-end road in a neighborhood called Sumner, gradually overtaking a vacant field between a taxi company and a high school. He knew most of the nearby families by name and the makes and models of their cars, but this was a visitor he didn’t recognize.

Shelby Houlihan is really good at running long distances. She’s the current American record holder in the 1,500 and 5,000. She finished 11th in the 5,000 at the 2016 Olympics in Rio and would have been poised for a trip to Tokyo this summer as well. Unfortunately for Holihan, however, in January she was banned four years by the Athletics Integrity Unit following a positive test for the anabolic steroid nandrolone. This isn't normally the kind of news that makes a big splash outside the world of long-distance running, but on Monday Houlihan finally chimed in on her Instagram to explain her ban and, as it turns out, it goes back to something we can all understand:

Star American runner Shelby Houlihan will not be able to compete in the Tokyo Olympics. In fact, she won't be able to compete at all for the next four years after testing positive for the anabolic steroid Nandrolone. But Houlihan is maintaining her innocence and is blaming another culprit for...
