I did read carefully. In a response to Armstrong, you wrote this:
”You just want to believe that most top level athletes are clean. It's not true.”
That means that you believe that most top level athletes are not clean.
A few more pages back, you stated that you believe that Valby is a doper.
Perhaps you can’t remember what you have written.
Ok since I'm done with this discussion now, I'll let you in on a little secret: I was not seriously arguing that either athlete is a doper. I was pointing out that Armstrongliv's "criteria" for inferring doping are so general that it could be applied to any top level athlete, even Tuohy. There is no more evidence of Valby doping than there is of Tuohy (who is faster than Valby). So, does that make sense now? I was applying his argument to one of his favorite athletes to prove a point. I thought it was fairly obvious.
You weren't applying my argument. You haven't understood it. So you didn't prove your point.
Valby is obviously the most talented runner in the NCAA becuase she is doing the least training while being the best. It is pretty straightforward. he may or may not win but she is definitely the most talented. Tuohy is a harder worker though.

I suspect if you look at total training she is training pretty hard. It apparently is just not much running.
Running is the purest form of talent that can he objectively proven. The arts are subjective. Valby is the most talented. She will break every record before done.
Even the Tuohy fans know that she is going to win which is why they make false accusations and now this silly mystery injury. Tuohy's mysterious injuries always seem to pop up so that she doesn't get tested.
you guys are silly. You do realize that you can root for/ be a fan of both, right? The success of one individual does not depreciate the success of another. Both are tremendously talented and hard working women. Great people too, I should add. I know both and can confidently say that Katelyn would be proud of and happy for Parker if Parker won and vice versa. Why are you guys so critical and sometimes just downright tearing these women down on this site?

So running is a higher talent than any artistic talent - because it can be "objectively proven"? To you. Clearly, you have no artistic talent and no appreciation of what that is. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Michelangelo agree.
Yes that is how it works. My son ran 4:52 in 8th grade gym class never having run before. HE played soccer in high school but joined the track team for 2 weeks after his season was over junior year and ran 4:24. The next fastest guy on his team ran 4:37 and he had run year round for the past 4 years.

You seriously think that the differences between top athletes are as wide as amongst schoolboys? You have just compared someone with natural talent against someone who is mediocre. The differences in talent amongst the best in the country will only be a matter of degrees. At the top, the less than optimally-trained will never be the best. That is why training - and not just talent - is crucial to success, and why injuries can be disastrous.
