But we weren't talking about this fact. I have accepted that Salazar was found guilty of 3 ADRVs and was banned for 4 years. After reading the report, I have accepted that fact 2 weeks ago, and I've moved on.
You were talking about your bigger interest in taking this fact, blurring or ignoring or contradicting the specifics, and turning it into the fantasy that this report surely shows he was also doping NOP athletes, and that only the naive would not believe his athletes were also benefiting. That depends on a reading of the report that is not possible without a lot of imagination.
I was trained in logic, and I'm familiar with the flaws in your approach.
I understand your logic and analysis of the report. Curious though: Is there any performance(s) by a NOP athlete that makes you at all suspicious? I know it's mentioned many times that "no NOP athlete has ever tested positive" but there were two NOP athletes listed on the WADA "likely doping" hacked document from 2016 (btw, was Hassan with NOP back then?).
There are some posters who aren't suspicious of any NOP athletes (primarily citing the lack of any doping positives) and there are some who are (citing a wide variety of reasons), and of course there are some who don't have an opinion one way or another.
So, do you have an opinion on any of the NOP athletes?
