What do people think of this figure skating scandal?

24. The Advantage Exists

The drug she was on would have an effect similar to EPO.
After it's gone, the added stamina due to excess blood oxygenation may wane but....
During the training phase the increased oxygenation allows for longer training sessions, particularly those involving explosion moves to develop a higher fraction of fast-twitch muscle fibers.
That advantage would, with continued training, last indefinitely.
For a skater, being able to jump higher (an obvious fast-twitch activity) is a huge advantage.
An extra 4" is the difference between landing a quad and even completing 4 rotations. Three & two-thirds rotations is also known as falling.
In 6 weeks, that leaping ability would still be there, 100%.
