You must include it all of his points including that.
T then shows that the reason the tolerance of EPO has been debated (80, 85%) is not because of levels but because of complications…
T provides good information that threshold testing may not be suitable for detecting EPO.
He does this by showing that EPO levels according to WADA documents, are parameters. This does not mean they cannot be thresholds absolutely, but shows, in much the same way someone might question ratio versus absolute amounts of a substance, that an absolute level of a substance and the procedures for threshold testing might be different. See post #187 for T argument a parameter versus a threshold.

Then we have a huge back and fourth about Parameter versus Threshold substance categories.
Parameters vs Threshold susbtances!!!!
T wants to say "There is definite criteria for a threshold substance and EPO is not in that category. Not only that but there are problems with this type of testing! in fact WADA uses different terms, and makes a distinction between threshold and parameter with respect to EPO.
Also there does not appear to be any acknowledgement of WADA regarding the classification of EPO as a threshold substance.
Travesty did the right thing waiting it out and sticking to the premise that WADA never de facto says EPO is a substance that has a threshold as opposed to a parameter.
Summing it up A might say "I am talking about threshold criteria objectively not threshold substances.... And T might say Ill follow you til the ends of the earth until you can show me a place where WADA documentS verify any threshold criteria for EPO in recent adapted testing procedures.

NICE FIND!!!!
1) Well, are you OK with that,Travestyny?
2) BUT later in the debate did you not go to 2003 to DUPE the judges?
