I would guess, if it did any good for anyone without apnea. They would have a ban on it as well.
Even if it was able to raise his o2, his body would breathe less often or shallower, to balance the co2/o2

It is illegal for him to take any substances or use a decompression chamber to increase performance, but this, it seems would be legal? I just dont know if it will do him any good
Well, you posted about this in 2008 and now you are getting some answers. Maybe it takes your son 10 years to run cross country, and he can still get some benefit out of these fine answers?
