I hate to go ad-hominem here, but I suspect I might have a decent amount of understanding of CV physiology and pharmacology comparative to yourself, or at least I'd fucking hope so.
Anyhow, you missed or misunderstood my main point, so I'll state it again.
It doesn't matter if those kids continued training. Someones physiological ability is related to a combination of genetics, training [and likely pharmaceuticals]. The timing of that training, if carried out to its full potential, seemingly does not matter, but as I've said- you can't prove it.
