Well, you never say anything about anything - "one way or the other". You specialise in saying nothing that has any meaning.
But then, in the next sentence, there is this:
I said that prevalence suggests some WR performances will also be doped. (quote)
Are you still saying nothing there about whether doping aids performance - a statement rather like that some world record holders have freckles? (in other words, a mildly interesting but utterly irrelevant observation). A normal person might think from your statement that you're suggesting doping contributed to those world record performances. But then you aren't normal, are you? Like Gollum, the left and right sides of your brain appear to be conducting separate conversations.
I say plenty, but you seem unable to address them, so you need to infer scarecrows and argue with yourself.
Regarding the utter irrelevance of the observation, this is also what I said, when declining to respond to a wrong question. But both you and High Octane insisted I respond, under some delusion that I believe all world records are clean.
A normal person would understand the difference between existence, correlation, and causation, rather than complaining there are too many words to be able to read, and then doubling and tripling down on something that was shown to be wrong the first time.
If we are under "some delusion that (you) think all world records are clean" no one is deluded into thinking that you believe doping actually contributed to those dirty world records. They may as well have been drinking mother's milk for all the effect their doping had on their performances.
You are quite right though, that "a normal person would understand the difference between existence, correlation and causation." You don't. In your mealy mouth it is all empty rhetoric. -

Actually, I don't say that. WADA and other antidoping experts say that. Of course, if the drug wasn't having an effect on sport there wouldn't have been a need to ban it and introduce a test for it - and nor would so many athletes in different sports continue use it today, despite the risks of being caught. If antidoping efforts were completely ineffectual we would see no difference in performances from the 90's to the years that followed the introduction of the test. But we do, which suggests the pre-testing era benefited from the use of the drug. El G's and Komen's records remain untouchable more than 20 years later.
You are wrong on both counts.
Neither WADA nor anti-doping experts say anything about EPO's effect on sub-4:50 2000m performances.
When creating the banned list, WADA only considers "potential" to enhance performance, neither showing, nor requiring, any benefit.
Anti-doping experts often say the opposite -- that their findings cannot be projected onto elite performances.
And neither suggest that the potential benefits from EPO are exclusive, and could not be replicated, or even exceeded, by legal means.
You are also wrong again: even in the case of no performance benefit, there would be a need for WADA to ban it for health reasons.
And this thread isn't about general effect on any athlete in any sport, but specifically about El Guerrouj and EPO and his 2000m performance in the sport of athletics. Even more specifically, you were speaking about his last 2 laps.
In this instance we (including everyone of "the vast majority of the athletics community and anti-doping experts") lack two key pieces of information:
- Is EPO powerful for elite athletes, when compared to legal methods?
- Did El Guerrouj take EPO?
Since you always twist what is being said to suit your fatuous arguments, I did not claim that WADA specifically said El G's performances (or anyone else's, for that matter) were doped. They never make claims about individual athletes except as findings from tests.
But they and other antidoping experts consider EPO to be a powerful performance enhancing drug - not that it only has the "potential" to be so. Only a religiously fanatical doping denier like yourself refuses to see it. Every thread has its flat earther and that is the role you always play when the subject of doping arises. Your failure to grasp the topography of the issue is your outstanding feature.
You still haven't explained how he could be taking in more oxygen but breathing less.

You asked me "How is there an increase of the supply of oxygen to the muscles without an increase in red blood cells to transport it?" as if the issue was the number of red blood cells and not the supply of oxygen to the muscles.
This was your answer to "is there an increase of the supply of oxygen to the muscles?" -- a question that you are avoiding.
Once you clearly establish beyond all doubt that there actually is an increase of oxygen to the muscles, then I will address your question as to how that happens in a scenario with increased red blood cells. -

Less. You have more oxygen in your bloodstream.
Which has to be extracted from the air by breathing more, not less.
No. When you have a higher red blood cell content you have more oxygen available and don't have to work as hard. That's why EPO/blood dopers make it look effortless. Dopers aren't gasping for air.
So did Jack Daniels tell you that oxygen uptake just goes up and up and up when hematocrit is 50,51,52,53,54,55,56......?

If you can’t understand the point that was being made, you probably shouldn’t be on these boards.
Let me clarify - due to (alleged) EPO use, El G still seemed fresh at the conclusion of the race. He was not gasping for air as one might expect (perhaps) because his blood already had all of the oxygen it needed.
Yes (to both points).
Really? Explain how that works? Don't just keep repeating the same line. Try answering the question.
"EPO is a naturally occurring hormone in the body that stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red cells. Medically, it is given to patients with anemia of chronic disease whose bone marrow is suppressed to help them have more energy and increase daily function. But, inject it into an elite athlete and the extra oxygen increases their aerobic capacity. If the cell factory runs out of oxygen, it turns to anaerobic metabolism, whose waste products shut down the ability to perform. "
When you start running out of oxygen (which is carried to the muscles on the red blood cells) you quite literally run out of breath. That is when you see runners gasping and they may even collapse from lack of oxygen.
But if you increase your red blood cell content (which altitude training also does) you enable more oxygen to be carried to your muscles. Hence you can last longer with less effort. It doesn't involve breathing more because with each breath the increased red blood cells will carry more oxygen to the muscles. Everything becomes easier. That is why doped athletes can appear as fresh as a daisy at the end of a race.
So how does the body "run out of oxygen" it never happened to me in any race.
And how does having more red blood cells obviate the need to suck oxygen from the atmosphere?
How do you carry more oxygen without breathing more oxygen?
Your explanations don't make any sense.
Not on the planet you come from, which knows nothing about human physiology. Perhaps if you got off your a*se and did some reading about it you would stop parading your ignorance - the one thing you do well. As a previous poster said - you really shouldn't be here.
On the planet I come from oxygen makes up 20.9% of the atmosphere. Which Science should I be reading to understand how he could be using more oxygen, but breathing less?
The science that says a higher red blood cell content carries more oxygen to the muscles, hence fewer breaths are needed for given effort than if there is a lower red blood cell content (as in a less fit or undoped person) or if the cells have used up their oxygen. It appears your brain is starved of oxygen. Moron.
But how does the extra oxygen get into the blood from the atmosphere without breathing more?
How does he carry more oxygen without breathing more oxygen?
Does it happen by magic?
It would seem like that to you. Has your education not reached the level where red blood cell function was explained? I know it was explained on here but it appears you failed to grasp it.

I have never seen anyone who practises lying as hard as you do.
You have said previously said that given the prevalence of doping some of the world records will be doped. If that is not a statement of a causal relationship, what is it? Did doping contribute to those world records or not? It is utterly disingenuous to say subsequently that you are not making that causal connection, because in the contortions of your deluded mind it has not been established that doping leads to enhanced performance. (News flash- it has!) If doping played no contributory part in those records then its "prevalence" or otherwise is completely irrelevant. So why raise it? You might as well have been saying that given the prevalence of Nike (or Adidas) shoes some of the world records were set by athletes using that brand - a coincidental fact but of no causative significance.
But your backtracking on what you are appearing to say is consistent with your approach; it is the same kind of slithering and sliding around the truth characteristic of another type of liar, which is the holocaust denier. You apply the same method to doping denial. Doping only works on "weak" and inferior athletes, women on steroids, and cyclists - but not on distance runners in any of the events and by any of the runners you will do anything to defend. A minimiser is a denier.
Fortunately, those entrusted with antidoping take a completely different view; a sane view supported by empirically obtained information and backed by science, that consigns yours to the realm of the lonely crackpot, as you are.
You are so self-blinded by your mythology, it severely impacts your ability to comprehend what is written -- one of my primary reasons to "cut out the middleman" and go straight to your sources -- which you swear you have many, but conveniently cannot remember any.
It is not a statement of causal relationship, but a statement of mere existence. Prevalence suggests that doping exists, but existence alone does not demonstration correlation with performance, and does not prove cause and effect. This is why examples like Ramzi, Boulami, and Kiptum fail.
It's funny and ironic that you mention shoes, because there is stronger evidence that the new shoes "work", for both Africans and non-African elite runners.
There is no backtracking, just a correction of confusion that was born from the seeds in your brainwashed mind.
So many words to say so little. So you don't think doping aids performance. Of course you don't. Jon is as much a moron as you are but he doesn't need pages to prove that fact, as you do.
So genius oxygen kinetics and bioenergetics guru, tell us how EPO doping circumvents thermoregulation? -
Yes...I'd say both. Schumacher has been team physician for German Olympic team since 2000. One of his main areas of expertise is excercise testing & performance evaluation of athletes - so I think he knows a thing or two about elite performance:

Here's another case where experts are giving their expert opinion on an ABP hematological anomalies case:
Yekaterina Ryzhova - Disciplinary Tribunal (SR/adhoesport/82/2019)
Dr. Garvican-Lewis (who's published some papers on elites) testified that a 16.0 Hgb in this ABP case with Ryzhova would improve aerobic capacity in her sport of RW.
In addition, ref Paragraph 89, the DT asked this very interesting question to an anti-doping expert:
"The Panel also asked Professor d’Onofrio about how long before a competition an athlete would be able to effectively transfuse blood so as to have a substantial impact on performance. Professor d’Onofrio stated that earlier, 24-48 hours was considered to be the normal time frame. Recently, however, athletes had been caught transfusing blood as little as two hours before a race. He stated that if blood were to be reinfused too early, it would decrease production of new red blood cells, which would be detrimental to an athletes performance."
"substantial impact on performance" - do you know what this means?
Of course "The Sole Arbitrator" did based on the evidence in the case and Schumacher's expert testimony. Doesn't a jury in a criminal court case give a verdict based on the evidence presented to them by witnesses and expert witnesses? Jurors don't have to be experts in forensics, toxicology, interrogation techniques, etc., to evaluate the evidence and render a verdict.

You'd be wrong again. Your posts are getting longer but still fail for all the same reasons:
- Team physician does not make him an performance expert on the causes of performance. Nor does testing and evaluation. It's like knowing a Rubik's cube is solved versus knowing how to solve it.
- Even if you could establish his credentials, it is a dead end. What is important is real data and observations on elite performance, not his credentials. You are fighting hard to commit the logical fallacy of "Appeal to Authority".
- His "expert testimony" is speculation that doping can work, up to some upper bound. He doesn't show that it did work -- for Karasmasheva, or any other elite athlete, ever. Nor can he, in a CAS hearing.
- His testimony on what could have happened has no value in the case, either for the verdict, the sanction, or any additional disqualifications, as performance benefit is not required, nor needs to be shown. It likewise has no value here, because it lacks real data and is not based on real observations of elite performance.
- I don't know why he makes a statement that has no possible bearing on the verdict or sanction. It is gratuitous.
- To illustrate this, even if the defending lawyer could show that doping really made these athletes slower, the dopers would still be banned and performance disqualified, for the same speculative reasons, because the rules don't make verdicts and sanctions subject to performance gains. These are all pre-decided earlier by committees that make the banned substance list, and make the anti-doping rules.
- An expert discussion worthy of my time would include a discussion of confounders (e.g. steroids for Russian women) and would have controlled measurements that isolates the independent variables.
- I'm not defending dopers (that tired, sad, lame accusation again?). We were talking about why you follow Schumacher and Malm.
- I am criticizing you, and dismissing your attempt to use statements in a CAS verdict speculating what could happen, to draw conclusions that even Schumacher doesn't draw.
- It is made worse since these speculations are in contradiction to the cautions of experts to not make such speculation on elite performances.
- The same applies for all experts in all CAS cases. CAS tribunals are not the place where scientific findings about performance benefit are made.
- All of these experts lack the required data necessary to make the conclusions you want to make. They speculate about performance benefits could be for elites without elite performance data. -

has to return income achieved. Considering, however, that the ABP has established
continued doping of the Athlete for the whole period until 8 July 2013, considering that
this comes roughly equal to the overall length of ineligibility period imposed by this
award, and considering that the effects of doping at the beginning of July 2013 might
well have continued until 22 July 2013, the Sole Arbitrator considers it justified, to
disqualify all the Athlete’s results from 15 August 2011 until 22 July 2013, bearing in
mind that the results of the Athlete from 15 August 2009 until 14 August 2011 have
already been disqualified by the RUSADA Disciplinary Committee. Such
disqualification of results covers the whole period during which the Athlete is found to
have used doping, as established on the basis of her ABP. The Sole Arbitrator is aware
of the fact that such period of disqualification, seen only from the perspective of the
sanction of disqualification of the results, must be deemed excessive in terms of
proportionality. However, not to disqualify results that have been achieved by using a
prohibited substance or prohibited method cannot be considered as fair with regard to
other athletes that competed against the Athlete during this period. The main purpose of
disqualification of results is not to punish the transgressor, but rather to correct any
unfair advantage and remove any tainted performances from the record (LEWIS /
TAYLOR (Eds.), Sport: Law and Practice, 2014, para. C.162, with further references)."
Answer this rekrunner: If doping doesn't work, how could Chernova have an "unfair advantage" which resulted in the disqualification of her performances. She could still get banned for four years but why disqualify her results if doping doesn't work and therefore she didn't have any "unfair advantage" over the other competitors. -

We were not debating whether doping works.
I agree with your experts that doping can work.
Especially the steroids that all the Russian women took.
You said you follow experts like Schumacher and Malm.
We were discussing that.
I said they were not the right kind of experts, and that they didn't have the data and observations on elites to support your conclusions.
I said that you didn't follow them, but caught up and passed them, making conclusions that they don't make.
