An elegant solution to the Shelby suspension problem

To take your repetitious arguments seriously is more than they deserve. But to liken yourself to past geniuses because you are "misunderstood" only invites derision.

It’s not about whether we would believe her confession is true or false. It’s about what she believes. Is she really believes she’s innocent, she shouldn’t confess. Coerced confessions are the practice of dirty cops. It shouldn’t be the practice of athletics officials.

I didn’t liken myself to past geniuses. Stop making straw man arguments, and stop making personal attacks.

If she's innocent and banned I genuinely feel sorry for her and admire her for not admitting to something she didn't do. But I just cannot take seriously her claim of innocence. So if she's dishonest enough to take nandrolone to get to get to the Olympics why not admit to taking it and get there if you can make the team unless maybe you think you'd need to be clean to compete in the Trials and you seriously doubt you could make the team that way. But of course if she's innocent all of that is irrelevant.

You posted about yourself:-

"That’s often the case with brilliant ideas. The ideas for the telephone, motor-cars, light bulb, radio, movies with talking actors, Xerox machine, personal computer, and many more were all soundly rejected at first."

So in your insistence on an "elegant solution" for a convicted doper you claim to possess a "brilliant idea" - like Edison, Marconi, Henry Ford and others. You have a head as big as a pumpkin but unfortunately made of the same stuff.

I totally agree, she should be banned for 4 years. 4 years starting from today, of course (so 2024, 2025, 2027 and 2028). In 2026 she can race all she wants!

No, I didn’t. There isn’t a single word referencing myself in that quote. No “I”, “me”, or “myself.” You commented on my idea being unpopular as an indication that it’s a bad idea, and I provided examples to show that a lack of initial popularity doesn’t mean an idea isn’t good. So I wasn’t comparing myself to previous geniuses. I was merely refuting the notion that an idea has to be initially popular to be good.

For some weird reason, you are unable to distinguish between people and their ideas. Maybe this is why you regularly attack people on this site? You should really learn the difference between criticizing ideas vs attacking people.

That is another false and - dare I say it - stupid argument. I said that no one here supports your "elegant solution" so you claimed that "brilliant ideas" are often not initially accepted (thus implying your idea is also brilliant) and you gave examples from those ideas that came from recognised geniuses. So you are effectively likening yourself to them. But you are clearly not even capable of recognising that is what you have done. You made yourself an easy target.

You’re wrong. Again.

No he didn't. Your reading comprehension is horrible.

I quoted him. But you haven't understood what he was saying either.

From the person that no one has agreed with on this thread.

Letshelbycompete, you cannot beat armstrong. He never dies. He just respawns. Ask rekrunner. Walk away now whilst you still have your youth

"For some weird reason, you are unable to distinguish between people and their ideas. Maybe this is why you regularly attack people on this site? You should really learn the difference between criticizing ideas vs attacking people."

I don't need to learn anything from you. Your ideas show who you are. When you keep relentlessly promoting them when no others here accept them you will earn the label you do.

How ironic, that you refer to rekrunner, the most enduring doping apologist on these boards. But there are plenty of you who will follow his banner. Like the "Shelby is innocent/let Shelby compete" apologist here.

LMAO. Imagine thinking you have a better understanding of what someone said than the person who said it!

By refusing to accept a reasonable request to cease making personal attacks, you’ve shown who you are.

I’ve already beaten him, soundly. He just doesn’t know how to handle defeat.

He was clear. You just didn't understand him.
