The U.S. Track and Field Olympic trials continued Monday with a handful of finals and one significant absence. The finals for the pole vault, javelin throw, men's triple jump and 800 meters, and women's 1500 and 5000 meters took place Monday.
Notably absent from the women's 1500M and 500M races was Shelby Houlihan, the reigning national champion and American record-holder in the events. Houlihan was given a four-year ban for violating anti-doping rules last week when she tested positive for nandrolone, an anabolic steroid. She has strongly denied wrongdoing and believes she must have unknowingly ingested the steroid through pork in a burrito she purchased at a food truck.
