You're reading comprehension is suspect. I never said you accused anyone of doping although you do continue to constantly rant about how doping is taking over triathlon so in essence you are accusing people. Your rants have created the culture where anyone who is fast is suspected. I see it all over ST, twitter and FB in any conversation related to doping. You are obviously not solely responsible for the attitude of losers who want to find something to blame but you are a large contributor.
The response that "thats the rules, deal with it" is so idiotic that it doesn't even deserve a response in the context of someone like who posted above. It's pointless trying to demonstrate common sense to a religious nutcase which you are when it comes to "doping" so I don't care to try.
Your identity is completely irrelevant. The fact that you would lie multiple times in a private conversation where no one was going to discover who you are and continually call me the liar is relevant because it simply shows the type of character you have. Absolutely no different then LA when it comes to willingness to lie to protect whatever you feel is important in your life.
Wow, you've really taken a flight to never-never land. People like me who care about clean sport aren't the ones who "created a culture" the dopers did that. I don't suspect everyone who is fast. There are plenty of people here I dont suspect, pretty much to a last they are faster than me. There are even many pro cyclists I don't suspect; and there are a few I suspect that I still give benefit of the doubt to. You drastically misinterpret my standing on this.
As for my responses to Cathy, you'll notice I didn't say "those are the rules, deal with it" to her. I said that to you, because youre suggesting someone break the rules. It really is that simple. Yes, it's difficult to get a TUE for T, but not impossible, and not impossible if the issue is financial either. I've spoken with someone who got a TUE for T due to 0 testosterone, and was on a budget that procluded the full battery of tests. As I told her talk to USAT.
I'm not a religious nutcase; I specifically told her to take what she needs for her health but if she intends to race she should do it by the rules. There are sacrifices we all make in life to live and play fairly. If someone can't get a TUE, they still have plenty of racing outlets that don't care about such things.
And again, I think you're drastically misinterpreting our prior conversation.
