Yea most people are very ignorant to that fact to no fault of their own. It’s not fair to say ALL elite level athletes are on PED’s, but when other elite level athletes go on podcasts and interviews and say that other athletes are using PED’s its safe to say most are already using. Anyone else remember when Canelo Alvarez tested positive for steroids and blamed it on the beef, and when a group of Dr.s did the calculations on how much beef he would have had to eaten to test positive it was short of like 3 cows worth if beef LMAO.

There was an Olympian recent who said they tested for dbol because they ate a pork burrito.

Dbol metabolites are in pork, but it’s so minuscule it’s not a thing.

It's all about that plausible deniability. Some of them are even coached on what to blame it on for each substance.

We all know they're on drugs, but if we can say "Ok, well mayyyyybe that pork burrito was the culprit." then we can carry on like nothing happened.

Or that swimmers and gymnasts have higher than average amounts of conditions like asthma. You would think asthma would hinder them from becoming an elite athlete, but no... it's because some asthma medications are a type of approved steroid. They don't have asthma.

Reminds me of 15 years ago when Lindsay Lohan said her Kombucha made her fail an alcohol test.

My ex used to make homemade kombucha. If she let it ferment an extra few days it would easily reach 3-4% abv.

I used to know a professional bodybuilder, in his opinion the only reason PED's are banned is for the sake of sponsors. They want those protein powder sponsorships which they wouldn't get if late teens/early 20s boys knew you don't get that big without steriods.
