This article requires reworking as it is completely biased towards haematological paradigm of altitude training. The big picture if far more complex and diverse. The non-haematological effects of adaptation to hypoxic (reduced oxygen) air are probably even more important for endurance performance enhancement. For example: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17805094?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum

"The benefits of altitude training are no longer debated in the sports community"

Source? There is much debate within the scientific community as to the exact benefits of altitude training, especially it's benefits to elite-level athletes.

I've removed all the external links from the article, because they all seem to be selling something, which would make the spam links as per WP:EL and WP:SPAM.

Agreed, have tried to add some balance. Still needs more work.
