I actually get that VO2 max doesn't change with doping. The problem is, however, we don't know his actual VO2 max, as it's never been reported. As such, it could go either way, alien VO2 max or doping. In this context my post "makes sense," having been accused of nonsense. In times of perennial doubt, why not be transparent? What would change reporting that Pogacar officially has a say 99 percent VO2 max? It wouldn't embolden his rivals, but intimidate them, more than they already are. By contrast, not reporting leaves speculation and all the bad thoughts it entails. At times, however, with bad thoughts one guesses correctly.
In any case, Bruyneel on Lemond is rich. He reports as evidence a supposed result of 74.5 in 1988. Lemond was out of himself, depressed, physically and mentally broken, and somehow this negates a 92.5 measure under completely other circumstances? Bruyneel and Armstrong are still bitter and vindictive. They should take a long, hard look in the mirror. Would Lemond have won three Tours, one more than Jonas, one less than Pogacar, with that score? Pathetic.
