It hurts your ego, doesn't it? Narcissists like you are weak. Cowards. Bullies.
But you are my greatest admirer. You read all my posts and respond only to me.
hahahaha what a stupid narcissist you are! Admire you? You are disgusting. You are vomit-inducing. I have responded to hundreds of posters over the last 23 years. You are worthless.
To quote someone as an authority on a matter of ethics while leaving out the fact they have been convicted of offences that have an ethical basis is lying by omission. You can't help it. Lying is in your blood stream. You have this in common with Trump.
What Trump does is project his faults onto others, like you do here. You are creating a false narrative, as well as omitting facts.
I did not quote Salazar "as an authority on a matter of ethics". I provided a quote "as an authority on a matter of his beliefs", and predicted that this stated belief would be dismissed (enter the unwitting obliviot arguing against non sequitur conclusions no one made -- fulfilling the prediction).
I do not rely on quotes that I consider to be an "appeal to authority" fallacy. This includes Salazar quotes that start with "I believe ..." or "I think ...".
So you quote someone for their "beliefs" but not because they are an authority on what those beliefs are? So what purpose or value is there in quoting them? No one cares what a doping cheat has to say about ethics - except you. But you shouldn't concern your little head about the ethics of doping; you can't find any dopers and if there are any athletes doping it doesn't help them, they only "believe" it does.

Go away. Nobody likes you.
And so you keep responding. You just can't stop yourself. Your admiration is really too much.

My admiration for you is on par with your admiration for rekrunner. You keep responding. You just can't stop yourself. Also, you can't stop responding to me. I command you, respond to me again, like the good lap dog you are.

I respond to the arguments rekrunner presumes to make about doping. You on the other hand are personally obsessed with me. You show it in every post you make.

Since you say all doping is based on belief you see no difference between rat poison and EPO.
Curious logic.
Surely the motivation is the same, but I assure you I can see many differences.
Most rat poisions are blood thinners, while EPO is a blood thickener.
Strychnine is a neuro-toxin, acting on the nerves, while EPO acts on the blood.
Did you know that Vitamin D is a rat poison? That's not even banned by WADA, and I eat it every morning for breakfast.
You said a person who takes rat poison in the hope of making performance gains does so because they "believe" it will. You also say athletes take EPO because they "believe" it will help them (and not because it actually will). So your argument about rat poison as a ped is indistinguishable from your argument about EPO. Most athletes however can tell the difference, if you can't.

You respond nonstop to around 10 posters. You can't stop. Your self-hatred is just too much.

To understand the purpose of my posts requires reading comprehension skills you don't seem to possess or exercise. I explained the purpose quite clearly as I was faced with two contradictory beliefs, asking for direction: "Which Salazar should we believe, and which Salazar should we dismiss ...?" You unwittingly did as I predicted, dismissing the 2013 quote, and launching into an unrelated discussion about ethics.
But if you read Salazar's quote from 2013, when heeded by all athletes, it should discourage them from unethical doping, by encouraging the psychology of believing in themselves. If you choose to disregard this message, as apparently you are arguing is the ethical path, ironically this opens the doors to the unethical behavior you abhor. It is the lack of self-belief, combined with the belief in the power of doping to create supernatural performance, that tempts many athletes to turn to doping.

Sure the motivation is the same. But the benefits and the risks will vary greatly.
Right rekrunner, nothing to see here with a "17.4 Hgb (52 Hct)" - probably was from altitude.
If you say so. I was persuaded that these high values were from doping, unless he trained for a few weeks at 3000m-4000m.
My doubts are whether his 2:05 marathon performance was faster than his natural ability.
For example, could he have run faster if his blood wasn't so thick? Who knows?
In reference to Stray-Gundersen study, what were the blood values reached & how long did they stay elevated upon return to sea-level? And what was the performance improvement measured with the test subjects?
In Dazza's CAS hearing he's claiming altitude training that was implemented from a new coach resulted in his hematological anomalies at Prague.
In the hearing, the anti-doping experts write that sufficient altitude for a sufficient time will elevate red cell mass but will be down regulated to re-adapt to sea level in 7-10 days. They further state that Off-score changes are "mild in magnitude, usually around 10 points."
Keep in mind here that Dazza hit an Off-score of 140 with a corresponding hct of 52. The anti-doping experts say his normal baseline Off-score is only around "50-60" which corresponds to about a ~40 hct (samples #3-5). Dazza stated that he returned to sea level training about a month before Prague. He also claims to have been at altitude for samples #3, 4 & 5 - which shows his normal baseline numbers.
Clearly Dazza is lying & turbocharged his hct a whopping 40% in the lead up to Prague where he smoked the course winning the race - a performance benefit. He was banned & his victory disqualified! Since he didn't test positive for an ESA, thanks to the ABP & the renowned anti-doping experts, a doper was caught & put in his place.
Really rekrunner...what do you not understand about this? A top elite & a marathon NR record holder was caught!
