Only to those who misinterpret what I say...and I don't know how to make myself any clearer than repeatedly stating "I'm not referring to any particular rider".
Pointing out where I disagree with someone is not attacking them.
Well if everyone here is willing to agree that you can't determine whether or not someone is doping based on their power data, then I can go home.
I don't believe that is the case, however...and of course there are always those who are new to the arena, who might mistakenly conclude that indeed can, if someone doesn't off an alternative perspective.
So is the mere fact that they are professional athletes.
Fine, be suspicious, I don't have any problem with that (although you won't find me publicly stating any such suspicions, as it is simply not my style). The problem, however, is that many people don't just stop there. Rather, they're willing to convict people of doping simply based on their (often only estimated) power output.
