The issue is that you cannot accept Houlihan is a doper despite a confirmed doping violation. That is what a doping violation means. You try to argue that because WADA, the AIU, and CAS don't use the term then she isn't a doper - despite her confirmed positive test, rule violation and subsequent ban that resulted from their prosecution and findings. But of course you would maintain that because in your world dopers don't actually exist.
I am amused that you say there is a " line between observed reality and imagination". You have never observed reality. But for you there is never line between a clean and a doped performance because no one dopes.
That's not an issue for me. If that's an issue for you, I suggest you take that up with WADA, the AIU, and the CAS who did not describe Houlihan the way you would like her to be described.
I'm happy you gave me the meaning of a doping violation, because you don't often give definitions.
Meanwhile, according to WADA, the AIU, and the CAS, Houlihan was found to have committed Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs).
I observe realities everyday. I have also observed plenty of imagination, particularly in your posts. I acknowledge that sometimes your posts state realities backed up by a peer-reviewed paper, like the many times you argued that it is impossible to see any line between a clean and a doped performance.
If you imagine now that there is such a line, I suggest you take that up with yourself. Once you do, I will be standing on the side that was backed up by a peer-reviewed paper.
