I'm sorry - did I invent blood doping as an issue? You were unaware of the controversy about this surrounding Viren and other athletes in the '70's, that resulted in an eventual ban of the practice? Must have been all my doing. Idiot.
What? I never indicated you invented blood doping as an issue. I gave a simple analogy to point out the slippery slope of your argument - that it was immoral to blood dope while legal because it ended up being illegal - by pointing out a current performance enhancer that is legal. Idiot.
I didn't argue that blood doping was "immoral". But no one - including Viren - saw it as the inncocuous equivalent of drinking coffee. It was always seen as doping, even if at that stage it was not subject to sanction. Subtleties beyond you.
