Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Dexamethasone and HAPE

Ken I sense a real attitude against me in your response. That's OK if you think that is an appropiate way to discuss contraversial issues in this forum. I am working through this issue out loud through this thread and it brings up a lot of tough ethical issues.I am not lecturing anyone. I am trying to be open and honest about a real tough issue.
I don't undestand why you can't "fathom" my reasoning for bringing up the issue of short cuts in preparation.I see it as a real and dangerous problem that people think they can short cut their physical peparartion and acclimation knowing performance enhancing drugs might get them by without putting the actual study,and preparation necessary.That model is clearly followed in HS to Pro sports.Many people take the path of least resistance in preparation.

I really don't see the connection to having that opinion and lecturing people who have had a heart attack. That is my opinion and I am entitled to that.That may not have been the origional question asked in this thread but it has morphed into etical considerations of what is appropiate to do in a certain situation.Many discussions start out that way and evolve into peripheral topics.We are just having dialogue. No right or wrong absolutes are being laid out.
