Summary

Seth Clevenger, a junior at Rowan University, won the men’s 5000-meter and 3000-meter titles at the Division-III Indoor Championships, despite allegations of doping. The second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-place finishers in both events left the podium in protest. Clevenger was previously suspended by Iowa State for alleged doping, but was allowed to transfer to Rowan and compete due to the NCAA’s lack of jurisdiction and penalties for admitted doping. Clevenger denies the allegations and claims he transferred to Rowan for a fresh start.


Our Reading

The routine arrives with confidence.

Seth Clevenger’s victories come with an asterisk, thanks to the doping scandal. His competitors protest, but he keeps running. The NCAA can’t do much, and the World Anti-Doping Agency is powerless. Clevenger’s wins are tainted, but he’s still on top. The drama continues, and the track world is watching.

It’s just another day in the life of a scandal-tainted champion.
