I agree that a substantial amount of Jakob fans may have a racial bias, but we should be skeptical of Katir since he’s running at the highest levels and runs for Spain, a country with a long history of doping and we should be skeptical of Jakob who has a dad that is abscessed with blood levels and he’s from Scandinavia a region infamous for developing and using blood doping in multiple sports. We should ideally be skeptical of both runners for running super human times that confirmed dopers have run and both are from countries or regions who have a history of doping.
Abcessed?
That's awesome
English ain’t my first language, besides the point does no one find Jakob dads suspicious? The guy is constantly reading his sons’ blood levels. Norway is not the Mecca of blood doping like some people claim. It’s all of Scandinavia. A Swedish doctor discovered blood doping and then the Fins took it to the next level.
https://fasterskier.com/2019/03/limiting-factors-a-genesis-of-blood-doping/Anywhere where skiing is popular blood doping rears it’s head and spreads to other sports. To this day there’s not a test that will catch most blood dopers. Those cross country skiers that got caught in Austria were only caught by the police in the middle of a blood transfusion. They would of passed any test and competed otherwise.
