> they cannot ban athletes from using illegal shoes during training.
I don't understand why you would in the first place, what would be the reasoning here?
I think one reason for anti-doping regulation is health, you don't want athletes breaking a world record one day and die the next. And doping during training definitely gets you some advantage, sometimes even years after, so the competition is no longer fair. But I don't see the harm with equipment such as shoes, if used only during training.
I think that's already the case, isn't it? For instance: https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/vienna-marathon-win...
