It might be clinic-related, then again she might simply have overtrained. It is quite well known that she used to train really, really hard (training with men for example) and trying various disciplines, I can imagine you can get overtrained easily with such a work ethic. Time will tell.

Recovery from injury may take 1 year but recovery from over training maybe 3 months
i think she may be finished ala Andy Schleck.

I don't know the story with her but recovering from overtraining can take much longer than that. You have whole careers that have been ruined by it.

Corticosteroids. That was my initial thought when I read this story the other day and it's still my opinion.

It's not just overtraining though, is it? Most roadies take their well deserved winter break, she's one of those who also do CX. She broke a rib earlier in the year training for MTB as well. All those things add up over the years and you end up not resting as easily. Atm I cannot ride because of ITBS, pain is gone but it took longer to disappear, maybe because of a huge overkill.
