Spot on. I have heard it explained like this ( by Smeets, a Dutch reporter, whom I dislike ) :
My recollection:
"The riders define 'doping' as going over the limit of detection. They all use 'forbidden' substances but below the limits. That is why they can say with a straight face on TV they are 'absolutely clean'. And two weeks later be caught because of a dosing mistake."
- rockinghigh 11y agoLance is a great athlete but he also took doping to the next level with many blood transfusions and pressure on his teammates to dope as well.
- the-dude 11y agoI am not defending Lance here, I have no opinion on athletes in general. But you are missing the point: their point of view becomes quite reasonable when you are considering naturally occurring differences like oxygen levels or what not.
