That's no excuse. Absorbing your twin *is* doping.

Or murder.
One's just as bad as the other.

But murder doesn't set WADA in motion. Be grateful for small blessings.
There are cases of people are the result of two non-genetically
identical embryos merging in utero before the fourth day after
conception (chimeras); they appear to develop normally, but different
body parts and systems will test with different DNAs. Thus blood
cells used for a DNA test could test as genetically different than a
cheek swab from the same individual. Could this be Tyler's excuse?
Excuse? Puhleeze. Absorbing your brother in utero is hardly more
ethical than injecting someone else's blood.

I thought your post was going to be about the Vuelta a Colombia.
Stage 4: 106 Tyler Hamilton (USA) Rock Racing @ 11:51
Stage 5: 69 Tyler Hamilton (USA) Rock Racing @ 8:51
Overall: 86 Tyler Hamilton (USA) Rock Racing @ 39.49
Is it ethical to be absorbed by a podium girl ?
I always try for 69 myself.
If the result were repeatable, then it would be.

So if he took up cannibalism he'd be absolved.
A bot wouldn't ask that, they'd just go with the program. Act natural.

Funny thing happened. I had a core dump, but it wasn't in the normal place.
And then my exception handler came.

He's not taking calls. Will the cannibal do?
