Yet another one of these straw-man fallacies. I get the impression you are trying to troll, yet don't seem to understand that you are failing. If you think that getting me to type responses is trolling it's safe to say you don't know what trolling is, nor fail to realize that I enjoy using responses like this as a time sink when I feel like being a lazy fvck.
You did nothing to challenge my argument or to enter into a meaningful discussion. All you did was try to paint a picture of me as a blind defender of Nike/NOP.
Which is especially amusing when you consider I have not defended NOP or Nike in any manner. NOP has had no positive tests, which means that anything used to base doping allegations on must come from hearsay. All I have done is state that so far I have not seen/heard/read of any evidence to suggest that there is doping going on within NOP. To the best of my knowledge nobody with credibility or who would be "in the know" has accused the NOP of doping. I've read several accounts now where people accuse the NOP of toeing the line of illegal vs legal, something I personally have always felt very likely that AlSal does exactly that. Doing so is not illegal however.
Perhaps where this amusing assertion that I am somehow a NOP defender or fanboy comes from is an assumption that I am somehow set in my ways, but such a conclusion could only be reached by making moronic assumptions about what I believe without knowing a thing about me.
The bottom line is this:
1)NOP has no positive tests or admissions of doping
2)To the best of my knowledge no credible source has ever claimed that NOP dopes
As I've said before, this is an "as far as I know" statement. I could be very wrong. However, it seems so far that rather than show me the gaps in my knowledge you would rather inform me of beliefs "I" hold, that I don't actually hold, rather than have some form of meaningful discussion.
