Since the semi-finals, there has been much talk about PED use at the CrossFit Games. Many athletes were caught this year after the testing at semi-final events, and it has received a lot of attention from YouTubers, blogs like The Morning Chalk Up and finally, our very own podcast!

If you're after hot takes and gossip, this topical episode has all of that, with Todd and I making wild guesses on questions like- "how many people were on PEDs in this year's season".

When we look at PED use in CrossFit and those that are getting caught, it is evident that there are areas around the globe where this is happening more and that the culture around PED use in different regions of the world is different. As CrossFit grows and becomes more global, this is something that the sport will have to navigate more so.

Check out and listen to this episode to hear our cynical views, hot takes and wild guesses on PED use in CrossFit.
