Although cbp is correct Google is explicit on this - Banned -- no

Penalized -- yes.

A doorway is by use a carbon copy of another page with minimal changes to specific words to gain ranked position across many words or phrases where it might be difficult by targeting on only one page... e.g. dive, diving, scuba, etc.

In nearly all instances noted to date - this practice is penalized or the carbons have zero ranking abilities (weight) while the original may continue to rank well (by retaining weight).
