Something like that. In the 90s, he turned from a 1500 runner with a strong kick into a 5000 runner with a deadly kick and then into the fastest non-African 5000 runner ever, a mark that has remained for over 20 years now (still counting). Quite sensational.
As for no sudden improvement jump, fine, that puts him into a camp with, say, Kiprop and Rupp, in contrast to, say, Ramzi and Jeptoo and Radcliffe and Farah. That may be the difference between career doper and late-starter, or slow responder and high responder.
Why "alleged transformation", Aragon? Who alleged when Baumann started doping, based on what observation?
Hypothetically he could have been on blood transfusions/steroid cocktails since high school, and then replaced blood transfusions with the more convenient EPO, or he could have been clean until age 34, and used nandrolone only during one season. Or anything between these extremes.
