Lamer response, even by your standards. WADA's criteria for banning a substance or method is a committee decision that there is a "potential" to improve performance -- hardly a reference for a reliable characterization of how blood doping "works" on elite runners.

There is a lot of wild speculation and a broad range of theories and hypotheses about blood doping's role in distance running history.
Lame post rekrunner...even by your standards.
If there is so much "wild speculation" and a broad range of just "theories" & "hypotheses," then why is the method of blood doping prohibited?
Why was the ABP created that specifically looks for hematological anomalies to the degree where an athlete can be banned minus an AAF drug positive, and all titles, medals, times & earnings can be annulled over the time period of the anomalies?
