@PhilosophyExp Yes, that was always the finger pointed at Armstrong: his times compared to those of known cheats. -
@johnthejack The defence is that some people are physiological outliers. But, at that level, they're all already physiological outliers... -
@PhilosophyExp Exactly & there's rate of improvement & margin of gain as well which are good indicators. -
@johnthejack Yeah. Did you see a British 100m athlete suddenly ran a very quick time yesterday...? http://bbc.in/13bFq1M -
@PhilosophyExp Yes, I did see that. It's tough on the clean athletes but inevitably such performances ask the question -
@johnthejack It is tough on clean athletes. Not sure there's a solution to the enhancement problem (other than legalising everything). -
@PhilosophyExp It just seems to be a never-ending struggle.
