He doped because extreme endurance events pretty much demand doping.
- thephyber 3y agoWrong. His doping and his coordination of doping across his team pushed other teams to dope to compete with his team. There was no obvious suspicion of doping prior to his team and that is clear that Lance and his team were performing far above the level of the other teams in his early doping days. Your statement is only true after the doping snowball exists within many teams of that sport. If the athletes didn’t lie or if they were caught in a reasonable amount of time, then there is no need for doping. I’m guessing you are making unstated assumptions because of your wording when you say “pretty much demand”. Are there any non-obvious assumptions that might be interesting to discuss?
- gosub100 3y agowhat does "pretty much demand" mean? You mean literally no human is capable of completing the event because they will drop to the ground of exhaustion? Of course not, you'll leave a vague comment that leaves you wiggle room instead of taking a precise position on the matter.
