How is that relevant at all? EPO and HGH are just hormones naturally produced in the body, too. Doesn't mean you can just go injecting anything your body produces willy-nilly.

The deniers need to contain the doping controversy.
If they don't contain the controversy that would mean Salazar's program is actively operating a teamwide doping program. Of course, Nike athletes don't dope and USATF would never take money from people who support dopers and doping....

Oh, wait.
Well if they are trying to contain it, then they should use better defenses than "it's just an amino acid".
Because amino acids aren't banned substances. It's not doping. Exogenous EPO and HGH are banned.
No defense is required.

L-carnitine isn't a banned substance. That is the argument. That it is an amino acid is irrelevant.
Agreed.
If you ban excess amino acids then you have to ban excess protein consumption.
For prople without a dietary deficiency aminp acid supplementation is bunk. Expensive placebo effect is all you get

Minor point, both EPO, HGH and Testosterone can be used continuously and never test positive.
Salazar is willing to do "whatever it takes" including injections of wildly experimental stuff but would never, EVER run PEDs that work and cannot be detected.
And USATF would come right out and sanction anyone at Nike found to break anti-doping rules. Am I right?
And Nike would never employ doctors who falsely claimed they discussed and got approval for experiments on athletes with USADA. The same doctor previously denied performing uncontrolled experiments on humans.
Nothing to see here. It's all good.
Every NOPer is a doper.
Are you keeping up?- EPO, HGH, and Testosterone are still banned substances.- So far Alberto doing "whatever it takes" is still legal -- except any infusions in 2011, which USADA seemed to say would be OK, and was only some weeks later. There is no reason to think Alberto is experimenting with banned PEDs.- Whatever USATF would or would not do, I think history shows USADA would not hesitate to sanction any Nike athlete.- Looks like USADA responded: "infusions up to 50 ml" would be OK. There is no evidence any false claims were made by a Nike doctor about human experiments.There is nothing to see here, because there really is nothing to see here.

No argument needed, it is as legal as a bottle of water.
On a side note, anyone who points out Al Sal does whatever it takes to win as a negative thing, is a LOSER and I'd bet my life always has been. Plain and simple.
It's not even an amino acid.
