If you knew something about sports and the Norweigan society you should know doping is out of the picture. it would be equal to a death sentence.
Norway doesn't even have a death sentence for that guy who murdered 100 people at that camp resort. Not even a life sentence, they gave him 20 years and the prison is like a hotel.
So maybe you mean an athlete caught doping will have to similary retire to a comfortable life out of public. The horror
Exactly, they tested often. We runners cannot accept the fact that swimming and cycling improve cardio as much as running since you can training at higher heart rates more often and overall volume. Unlike runners he is not malnourished. love it!
Lol do me a favour. Outsprints Yee who is 7:45 for 3k , while having a BMI of like 24.
PEDs
A lot of the best xc skiers and mountain runners have his build. My theory is by him not starving himself and not giving himself RED-S, he's able to train more and stay healthier compared to the Yee brothers who look malnourished and are constantly injured.
Who are the 'Yee brothers'?
I'm fairly certain Alex Yee does not have a brother that competes in triathlon.
If you're going to make obnoxious and insulting comments, at least have the decency to know what you're talking about.

Correction I was thinking of the Brownlee brothers, my mistake. Yee and Brownlee, you can see the confusion. But I stand by my statement of Yee, as if you look up his height and weight on different sources, it would put his BMI as underweight. So when it comes to triathlon training of 20-30+ hours a week, of course Blummenfelt is going beat the dude that is technically underweight. He has a lot more in the reserves on the starting line. Especially after a hard swim and bike ride, which favors athletes with more meat on their bones.
Why does this guy slip away to the most inaccessible corner of the Moroccan mountains for a training camp every now and then? Seen the videos, can’t even pretend it’s a good place to train.
like Georges St Pierre says, I can last minute update my legit guaranteed location in the WADA app as Antarctica for the next two weeks, but for all intents and purposes, they ain’t getting someone out there to test me.
But as Blummenfelt's body weight is higher now than it will be when the season starts, the real number is around 103, according to coach Olav Aleksander Bu.
Blummenfelt is a little more reserved than the coach saying the VO2max maybe will decrease accordingly, if he looses weight.
Very fortunate to watch him as a young 17 year old triathlete when he came to Australia to do a junior triathlon in 100 degree weather. He stepped off he plane and ran 15:07 off the bike in pretty horrible conditions. It was pretty clear he was extremely talented. He ran away from Australia's best including one young aussie who ran 8:08 for 3k at 17.
Yes, he has always been extremely talented, even from as a junior. He has completely dedicated his life to winning, and I don’t think I know of a more competitive person in all things- not just triathlons.
That's 103kg, right? Or is he 4'8"? VO2Max is your body's ability to process oxygen. I don't think it goes up when you lose weight...it's chemical, after all.

VO2 Max is relative to body weight.
Absolute VO2 is something else.
You know what...you're right. You have smaller fat cells, so they can be oxygenated more efficiently. Didn't think that through.
Yes correct they get cought. But to be honest, some of these people got caught because they used lip balm and such (Therese Johaug), not PED's. So actually this list is pretty small, also because it includes all accidental cases, and also the ones who missed those 3 tests updated their wearabluts wrongly... These may or may not have doped.
Cases such as Sha'Carri Richardson would also be on these lists as she was banned, but is cannabis PED? Nope!
Other countries have huge lists of athletes who doped... Look at russia for example. That list wikipedia shows of 301 athletes is probably very incomplete I think💀
Norway has never had doping problems, or big scandals. Just individual athletes who get caught.
Incorrect. VO2max is normally measured per kg bodyweight.
So it goes up if you loose weight and maintain the same absolute VO2, which is the pure amount of oxygen your body can take up. Divide that by a lower weight number and the result is a higher VO2max. That's just math
Everyone is triathlon knows this guy is a doper. Alex Yee is the real Olympic Champion.
Who is everyone? Most slowtwitch.com, the real triathlon community, disagree with you. ITU racers get tested a lot. I know, cause I had to do doping control.

One thing you can do is increase your lean muscle mass... This will many times increase your absolute VO2. Then you can try and drop weight. Many times your increased absolute VO2 will maintain (not always)... and you can raise your relative VO2 number once the weight loss is achieved.
VO2peak scales up w mass and but also varies by testing protocol. No doubt other protocols could push him down into the 70s.
No problem cycling w some extra kg (added power) but w a hill to climb this is a major problem. As for running there’s a reason Bekele is closer to 50kg than 100kg. Some of this is cooling, but most of it is allometrics.
