Do you know the athlete personally? Yes.
BUT as I have said here repeatedly, and I hope you and others are clear, it seems odd that almost 100% of people have defaulted to one side of this story. YES, there is compelling evidence to do that, but there IS another side to this story. I'm not picking a side nor advocating for one side or the other - just waiting to hear it ALL, before I fully decide.
No, it's not "odd" at all. Sure, there is another side (there is always another side!), and I suspect we had a snippet of it from the earlier poster who - suspiciously on their first ever post - came on to ST to give a very implausible excuse for what happened. I'm sure something like that will be her story and she'll stick to it. If there is hard photo/video evidence of what she did, then her only possible excuse would be that she mistook the bike for a friend's, but - and assuming this is the story she wants to stick to - who was that friend and why did they want her to adjust their tire pressure just before transition closed?
And I'm sure that, just like those friends of Julie Miller and Amy Stretton, you may think this lady is a "really nice person" and no doubt she is in everyday life. But these "super nice people" also sometimes cheat in sports. That's just a fact of life. Even Canadians! :)
The only thing currently working in her favor is that she doesn't have a double letter combo in her name...
