This only proves you jump to false conclusions based on no facts.
What does it mean that Burfoot's article expressing of his thoughts and feelings without any evidence or clue stands? No one disputed these were his personal thoughts and feelings.
You dismiss that he clearly believes she is doping, for the reasons he supplies, because he also says he has no proof. But that conversely means he has no proof she isn't doping - and neither do you. It is just as possible she dopes. If the "evidence" of her doping was a failed drug test there would be no need for him to express an opinion about whether she is doping. Her being a doper becomes a fact, not an opinion. However, since most dopers don't test positive it is a perfectly legitimate subject for speculation and especially with a Kenyan athlete today.
But what we do know for a fact is that there is no evidence you will accept of doping, and certainly not a a failed drug test, as you have argued for years that Houlihan isn't a doper, notwithstanding her confirmed doping violation. So Burfoot can never prove to you that Chepngetich is doping. No one can.
Like your friend rek, you also don't know the meaning of opinion.
belief: "an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof."
opinion: "a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge."
If Chepngetich is doping or not is not a point of some opinion.
She does or she doesn’t - we just don't know which one is currently true.
When we don't know something, we can still form an opinion, i.e "a view or judgement about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge", which may or may not be true.
But "opinion" is not my word. It originally came from Armstronglivs -- perhaps I should have quoted it to make that more clear.
It is also not Amby's words -- he wrote in terms of his thoughts and feelings.

I dismissed no such thing. I'm sure he "believes" what he said he thinks and feels. Belief is widespread, deep, and goes to the top.
I will accept unambiguous and conclusive evidence.
Good grief! Dude, you have zero credibility and nothing you say means anything. Surely you are self-aware enough to see that no one approves of anything you say? Right? Hopefully? Geez, as far as can be determined you derive pleasure with your thousands of posts; a perverse type of self-stimulation. Your obsessive fixation with arguing against even the tiniest disagreement is both vulgar and obscene.
I don't expect the inmates of this place to endorse anything I say - as you show. I would be disappointed if they did, since most of you refuse to see what is in front of you - even when a commentator of Burfoot's standing points it out.

My opnion is, she is doping - what a nonsense.
There are opinions based on nothing - which may be yours - or opinions based on informed facts and experience, like Burfoot's. That is what an expert opinion is.
