If EPO isnt a drug why is it banned? You fail to see the distinction between blood - which isn't banned - and blood-doping - which is.
EPO isn't a drug. You fail to see the distinction between what is a drug and what is increasing the natural amounts of EPO in the blood above a certain level. You can inject EPO and not be doping. You use it to treat malaria for example. It's funny how I have to educate the self-professed expert.
How many athletes with malaria are competing that you know of? An athlete can't inject EPO. There isn't a "permissable" quantity.
hahahaha You made a fool of yourself, as usual. You said that erythropoietin is a drug invented in the 1980s. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So you've never heard of EPO. You know - the drug banned by WADA.
WADA says: "Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells in the spine. EPO is predominantly produced in the kidney, and recombinant EPO (rHuEPO) is used therapeutically in the treatment of anaemia seen with chronic kidney disease and certain cancers. Athletes have in addition misused this hormone as a doping agent in order to improve endurance capacity."
It never says it's a drug. Thank you for once again demonstrating that you are an ignorant buffoon.

Not WITH malaria, dumbo. They get treated FOR malaria with EPO. A famous case is Wilson Kipketer. But you wouldn't know these things.
You're quite the liar, because you leave out the criteria I say make Farah better than Ingebrigtsen over 5k (and 10k) which is that he has a list of global titles the Norwegian hasn't got near and never will. Typical biased Ingebrigtsen fan.
How many global titles does Farah have in the 1500m? He isn't a liar. He is pointing out the fact that you change criteria to try and make sense of your bias.
The comparison is over the 5k but shift the goal posts by all means. It says you've lost the argument.

Why are you comparing only over the 5k? This thread is not about the 5k.And how many f
My favorite encounter with Army was after a long discussion about how Mo Farahs and Jakobs difference in PBs in the 5000 weren't significant enough to be relevant for the discussion, only for Army to reveal he thought Farahs PB is 12:50, when his PB is 12:53
Then later on he claimed that Jakob can't have a claim to be one of the all time greats in the 5000 because he's 20th on the all time list, and when it was pointed out that Farah is outside of the top 50 Army tried to blame super shoes, introduced in 2016, for why Farahs PB in 2011 placed him at #25 by the time he achieved it.

Typical biased Ingebrigtsen fan. No matter how you argue it you can't give him titles he hasn't got or times he hasn't run.
Your criteria are irrelevant because you pick and choose which criteria apply to different runners and different distances. You argue Jakob can't be an all time great when he's 20th all time on the 5000 list, but doesn't think that applies to Farah who's outside of the top 50. You think Jakob finishing fourth in a global 1500 final is an embarrassment and disqualifies him from the all time great discussion, but doesn't think that applies to Cheptegei in the 5000 who has ran 3 global 5000 finals and has finished 8th and 9th in two of them.

Thank God it isnt a drug. It's only a hormone. But wait - why did it take for the early '90's for it to be used as a ped - sorry - "doping agent"? So EPO isn't produced naturally in the body in that form. Your attempt at being clever only shows what a clod you are.

Your attempt at hiding the fact that you know nothing about doping shows what a mental midget you are.
What do we think Armys goal post moving will be once Jakob beats his 5000m PB? That Jakob went too many years without seeing an improvement in his PB so he still doesn't qualify for the all time great discussion?

He will have to come up with something. His hatred must live on.

Of course I pick and choose the criteria that I think are relevant. Yours aren't. They are only intended to support your fanboyism.

The thread subject utterly disappears yet again in your narcissistic absorption with attacking another poster, as you do ad nauseam. You show no awareness that none of this will be of any interest to other readers of the thread. It is all about you. NPD in full cry.

How about your narcissistic absorption with attacking countless posters, as you do ad nauseam? You show no awareness that none of that will be of any interest to other readers of the threads you write in. It is all about you. NPD in full cry.
