    Welcome to South America!
    Doesn't really disprove anything. The Bolivian president is already acclimatised to the height, so in fact he really only prove sthat Bolivians are in an advantage.
    Ideally people need at least two weeks to acclimatise. Thta's what this is all about, the inherent advantage they have at higher err.. heights.

    Yeah, that was a good article. I never thought about the impact on clubs, and that's the big reason that makes me believe this might get overturned.

    Still, the findings of that medical committee are going to be interesting.

    They're living at altitude but they're not competing at altitude.

    Slightly off-topic here but genetically they have an advantage as they can take in more oxygen in smaller breaths.
