Boulami never had continuity in his training in altitude, and the altitude of Ifrane (about 1600m) doesn't give the same advantages than Kenya at 2400m.
I said several times that, in order to optimize the effects of training, athletes need high altitude with continuity. This is something obvious and natural for Kenyans and Ethiopians, born, living and training there.
I never counted Maroccan, or European training at sea level, as example of "EPO doesn't work", and, if you are correct in remembering what I wrote, "EPO doesn't work for top athletes born, living and training in high altitude", and with athletes who spend long periods with continuity in altitude (like last year Sondre Moen).
So, it's perfectly useless that somebody continues to speak about Boulami or Ramzi, who don't belong to the specific category of the subjects I'm speaking about.
Not only, but I explained several times that, from the training of top athletes, it's possible to understand who uses blood doping, and who is clean. Athletes using ALWAYS short distances at very high speed, in other words a lot of lactic workouts, for long periods, continuing to increase their shape (this type of training has the effect to LOWER the Lactic Threshold, so is not possible to have top results for long periods of time), DON'T HAVE ANY SUPPORT FROM THEIR AEROBIC POWER, that, looking at their training, MUST go down. If this doesn't happen, is because the aerobic support deosn't come from training, but from the use of pharmacs.
If I speak about a well identified catergory of subjects, is not correct, and absolutely useless for giving some info about my thesis.
At the end of the day, athletes who don't have one of the following characteristics :
1) Top talent
2) Proper training as volume and intensity
3) Long periods of training in high altitude, with continuity
are not part of the category I continue to speak about, and this explains why the research with young boys Kenyan and Scottish, interesting about other points, is absolutely useless for giving any kind of info about the argument of the discussion.
