I never expressed any doubts about EPO and race-walking.
My skepticism varies by sport and by event, and I mostly care to talk about running and performance.
I understand that you "mostly care to talk about running." The point of my post was you have always expressed a concern about the absence of Russian male runners during the EPO-era. As I mentioned, race walking was more their pursuit & interest. Secondly, they benefited significantly from 02-vector doping (as stated by the elite race walker in the previously mentioned thread). But I would think you might be interested in the EPO-race walking connection since race walking more closely resembles running in terms of VO2max, LT, time to exhaustion, then say cycling or XC skiing.
you have to understand this basic reality....even if rek himself took EPO and got a 4% gain, he would still argue with himself...if God almighty told him that EPO was a 4% gain he would argue.
its like this, rek argues to argue, he is one of those types. the whole world says the sky is blue and he will argue, he will argue till he basically admits the reality but still claims he is right and everyone else is wrong, and against him in some conspiracy.
everyone, with science to prove it: "the sky is blue"
rek: "actually its Periwinkle"
everyone, with science to prove it: "umm thats a shade of blue"
rek: "in my magnum opus, i proved without real data that i am smarter than everyone since the dawn of time, and anything else is a fallacy and stupid, and i will insult and belittle anyone who says otherwise, and again the sky is Cyan"
everyone, with science to prove it: "um thats again just a shade of blue"
rek: "again when i explained in my magnum opus, i was smarter, didnt need data, nor anyone else to back me up i explain that besides i was smarter, i explained how you are wrong and dumb. why you continue to try and argue this is beyond me, i have a science degree! i am smarter, and im right and you are all wrong, did i mention im smart and you are all dumb? yes i know what im talking about, i can prove it cause i have a science degree, im an american living in europe working for my own IT company...i cant say my name, or where im from or anything cause that would give away too much...give what away? nothing your an idiot, and again if you read my magnum opus you would know how much smarter i am than everyone in the history of the world, oh and for the last time, the sky is blue"
everyone, with science to prove it: "oh so now you agree the sky is blue?"
rek: "what are you talking about, i never said the sky was blue and if i did say it, its not because you told me, i would know if the sky is blue before anyone else would, the sky being blue is not the argument, i will post quotes within qoutes to prove that i never said the sky was blue, but if i did ever say it, we are not talking about the same thing"
everyone, with science to prove it: "man this reminds me of every post rek does on LR"
