Didn’t this roche guy advocate for men competing In women’s sports..?
Yes. He was one to repeat that trans women are women. Which is interesting because, after he won Leadville, he boasted how he “trained like a woman” and Megan is a female athlete researcher. So which is it? They believe there’s a physiological difference or not?

So you’re a hateful jerk I see
Hateful jerk..? Imagine you train your whole life as a women only for your hard work and dedication to be stolen by a man.. women fought so hard for their rights and now you want to let men dictate that they can compete in women’s sports..?????

From what I recall he stated transgender people should be able to compete with the gender they identify as. I bet his tune would change should that ever impact his wife winning a race. Does Megan research transgender women or just biological women? Weird conundrum. Huzzah.

Before we start, for any trans folks reading this, we want to provide a warning that this article discusses transphobia and the current state of the U.S. political system. It’s unfortunate that most published content on trans...
"...In other words, trans and cis women sometimes have physiological differences, but performance data on trans runners undergoing HRT does not indicate that those differences provide an athletic advantage. While that may be a small sample size, multiple case studies back that up, and no study has contradicted the findings. In other words, trans and cis women sometimes have physiological differences, but performance data on trans runners undergoing HRT does not indicate that those differences provide an athletic advantage. While some argue that there’s not enough data to definitely disprove any advantage, trans women should not need to clear an arbitrarily high bar to be allowed to compete. Inclusion should be the default"
Here's a good summary of Roche's 'point' in the article:
"If we start by acknowledging that trans women are women, then trans women winning women’s races, earning prize money or being awarded scholarships becomes a non-issue, because those opportunities are still going to women."
{So in other words: If we start by saying something that is scientifically and bioligically untrue like "XY = XX" then it's all good, right?}

Really unscientific and twisted logic methinks?
He was also anti-science as it related to the (now indisputably male) Imane Khelif punching women in the face during the Olympics. Wrongly claimed Khelif was a biological female and JK Rowling had caused the whole controversy. Presumably no correction offered when the medical reports eventually came out showing what everyone with a functional brain had already noticed 🙄
So many times David has gotten things wrong and fails to correct himself. Sometimes he will just pretend as though it’s not even documented that he said the opposite of what he now claims.
He makes himself out to be all about the science, but how can anyone trust a guy who doesn’t understand basic science? Or at least be a guy who places curiosity and truth before ideology.
Yes, if Megan lost to a trans woman in a big race, you know darn well that they would proclaim Megan as the actual winner. Even if it were private.
I’ve actually heard them sh*t talk about individuals they had just showered with love when talking to them. I imagine they really aren’t very loving people in private.
Careful, folks. Those of us who dare to question David’s intentions or his wild claims of sub-4 at altitude, or, I don’t know, ask for an actual treadmill upload versus his watch data are labeled #haters. Fall down and worship at the altar of David Roche and The Feed, you unwashed heathens.
You’re criticizing him for a theoretical situation in the future if a transgender athlete were to beat his wife? It’s fair to be skeptical of claims he’s made, but theorizing what he would do in made up situations and criticizing that is weird.

Personally, I criticize him because he is a liar and a fraud.

Yeah I don’t know how this got onto transgender stuff. If anything Id criticize him for hopping into the transgender conversation because I don’t think he actually cares about it at all but that he wants to virtue signal for attention

David has a history of contradicting himself, and he has stated repeatedly that he believes trans women are women. The fact is, his wife does research on “the female athlete” which implies there is also a “male athlete,” separate from and with their own needs than the former. Otherwise, it would just be athlete. David said Megan coached him to train like a woman. Ok, again, that would mean they think that women, because of biological differences, need different training programs.
I think it’s fair to say what I think David would do. Based on what I have experienced with both of them (IRL!) and what I have seen of their online presence. It’s not far off.
It’s also funny that whenever this thread winds down, you want to stir it up again. You must be VERY close with the Roches (or are one). Do you think it’s good for their business to have people speaking about them good or bad? This is boring to even explain what has already been explained so many times.

Has David ever commented on what he thinks of Trump?
Has David ever commented on what he thinks of Trump?
Lol really?? Yes. He hates Trump. He has been very public about this.
He's obviously super liberal and woke.
However, like Trump he is apparently interested in always trying to gain more power and will mislead people with being fake and providing false hope. Cult leaders do a similar thing.
Peanutbutterjelly is very likely a non-elite SWAP athlete who got in with coaching before David and Megan were internet famous. In my experience these folks are very “ride or die” for David and Megan.
