And do we even care? I have seen at least 5% of runners I follow in my instagram feed with extremely questionable results over the last 1 to 2 years. A few years ago I could swear that less than 1% of runners I follow were doping, most likely 0.
A 500% increase is staggering. Is this growth going to continue? What are the reasons for this? Is it just me or are others noticing this too? Is it just me but am I ahead of the curve? Will this thread be trolled? Probably. Do the guilty get hyper defensive? Absolutely yes.
Will this blow up in the next 10 years as being a major problem in running? I anticipate so. Let's not do anything about it and wait for our sport to be tarnished first.
