But UV light treatments of your blood is ok, is it Mr HypoKrittkel?

He did say that he thinks people who have considerable difficulty breathing ("schwer atmen") don't belong into the 'pool' of athletes competing in mainstream elite sport. This is what I think is discriminatory.
It's not discriminatory, it's a defensible alternative view to the current WADA guesswork over what level of performance enhancement is "levelling the playing field" and what is turning cripples into superhumans. You wouldn't want running races to be open to people who can't walk without the assistance of a powered exoskeleton. Once you accept that, the drawing of a boundary becomes a matter of fairly arbitrary morality. Whether somebody who uses as much product as Kittel does is the best spokesman for natural performance is a separate issue :)

I should have looked on Tw*tter first. The correction seems mainly aimed at saying that he didn't mention the name Wiggins. He did say that he thinks people who have considerable difficulty breathing ("schwer atmen") don't belong into the 'pool' of athletes competing in mainstream elite sport. This is what I think is discriminatory.
Again, I don't really understand the drugs side, and I'm sure that not all asthma sufferers could claim that the adjustment they would require to compete in elite sport was reasonable, but I'm sure a number of them could.
Hm, this image doesn't seem to want to be hotlinked to, so here's the link:
