I don't think PV is doping, or has doped. Nor do I believe runner on a team the size of FLA testing positive has any bearing on other team mates. He could probably still get shoe contracts and continue to run competitively in India. Maybe even represent them in some international events, if enough people will just look the other way. PV's future is looking pretty solid, shoe contracts or no.

You mean after his four year ban expires, or what?
I think Valby is 100 percent legitimate. If she was on EPO her finish would be unreal and it's not
EPO doesn't make an athlete faster, it gives them more endurance. It won't give her a kick if she doesn't have one but would enable her to maintain a higher average pace throughout the race. So - like many other athletes - she could be doping.
Well, EPO stimulates red blood cell production and oxygen available to all muscle fibers. So, yes, it does make you faster. But of course it wouldn't automatically make Parker or anyone else capable of kicking with the best kickers in the world.

I was talking to a buddy about the Khan case and he said something I hadn't even contemplated. He said, "It's not like I think Will Palmer is doping the whole team including Valby."
I hadn't even contemplated something like that. BUt it blew my mind to even contemplate a Valby connection. Let me be clear I don't think that's what is going on here but must admit we'd never seen an Indian so good and we've never seen a low mileage woman so good.
What are the odds? I'd say less than 1% that Valby is also on EPO. What do you think?
Huh? The entire Villanova women’s teams from the 90s were all low mileage without the xtrain.

It doesn't make you faster. It enables an athlete to recover faster and so train harder. Training might make some difference in speed but it won't make an athlete fast twitch, which is what determines speed. It won't give a "slow" athlete a sprint. Its biggest advantage is increased endurance, which is why it is favoured by distance and endurance athletes.

No,because all top athletes use drugs.
Maybe Will Palmers top athletes. Palmer has a has a habit of athletes testing + for EPO
