Default What is your definition of doping?

I just started reading these doping posts and given the unrealistic nature of some of them I started wondering if people are even talking about the same thing. So what is doping to you?

-Only what's banned by UCI, WADA or other official body?
-Only things that really improve performance (a much much shorter list)?
-All "unnatural" performance aids like altitude tents, IV drips, injecting vitamins?
-Choosing the right parents? (the biggest performance enhancer by far)

Mises, please have patience with Flyer. He will NEVER answer a question directly. It's always going to be a runaround and chase your tail answer with him.

Anyway, to get back to your question, I think that doping is only what is banned by the governing body. If it was the way Flyer perceives it to be, no one would be able to compete. Everything could be constriued as a performance enhancer.
