Kirsty, first off congrat's on the win. But FYI "people in (moral) glass houses shouldn't throw stones". Maybe those folks suffer the same cognitive dissonance you suffer from, there are plenty of folks on here that would skewer you for your recent coach choice, just saying.lionel has been the source of - as far as i can tell - unfounded insinuations of doping pretty much from the time he burst onto the scene. you were his coach or at least coaching advisor, no? how did that make you feel? i don't know who anybody's coach is these days, so i don't know what you're referring to, but i think that's what kirsty's referring to: the selective decisions to display moral outrage, and the selective decisions to consider performances evidence of doping (lionel is usually first on the list when it comes to this bullshit). there's a lot i could say about this, because we (here at slowtwitch) get into the weeds when we investigate anti-doping, but i don't see that further detail would be helpful. just, yeah, kirsty is in my view spot-on when it comes to what certain pros in our sport decide to decry, and what they decide to overlook.
