Somewhere i posted above that “abnormal data” would start the discussion, not end it. The exact discussion we are having on pog now. Abnormal data would not be an automatic doper verdict.
In today’s world, basically every winner get labeled as a suspicious doper. There’s large groups of people that are sure that many of them are doping.
In a future time of releasing data, the majority of “suspicious performances” would be cleared up by the evidence of data. In this world pog would win, post his data, and we would see that he had one hell of a ride and move on.
But no, we have to be stuck in the stone age always wondering and in these endless discussions of potential dopers. I actually believe peoples reputations are actually hurt by not having the data.
