There really needs to be a “natty or not” on these hybrid guys cheating in running and triathlons. I’ve watched USA cycling take masters cyclists out like snipers a few times. The entire cycling community normally rallies together against cheating. I find it crazy that professional runners haven’t spoken out about this, especially since most runners are pretty liberal and don’t like bullying like what Cam is doing to Sage. I hope all of the podcast guests realize he’s also calling them dorks. Des should be 100% backing Sage. The Boston marathon is an age group event, and she is paid to represent it. By backing Cam, she is laughing at the 30-40,000 age group runners who try to qualify every year, honestly.

I feel like the performance enhancing drug epidemic has been underreported on. Maybe because the PED companies and dealers are big advertisers. But we know there's a growing epidemic of people getting colon cancer in the 20s and 30s.
But instead of looking into PED use, people are blaming diet and processed foods. People have been eating processed foods since what 1950? Has a McDonald's hamburger really changed that much on the past 50 years? And people in who are 50, 60 and 70 didn't have this higher risk of colon cancer.
We know that performance enhancing drug use among young adults is way, way up; in part because of social media, and its more toxic corners, like "looks maxing"
And we know that some widely used performance enhancing drugs, including the ones that Cam Hanes says, "are no big deal" and when challenged about it says "everything causes cancer," are linked to cancer, perhaps just as much if not more than tobacco use.

So to me it seems like we are ignoring just how far along and just how bad this latest PED craze is.
A lot of people who felt left out by the social media boom or the AI boom see "bio hacking" as the next tech area to get rich on. As Silicon Valley ages, they're becoming more and more obsessed with this. Of course, there are side effects to everything. It's why even miracle cures for certain illnesses say, "This drug has caused liver failure leading to death," in their disclaimers. And it seems like that part of the risk equation of pharmaceuticals, whether they're medical treatments or performance enhancing drugs, is just taken out of the equation completely because the negative effects happen to other people, not the user of the drug. You see that with Cam. It's bizarre. I wonder if a leading user of PEDs eventually gets a terminal illness if that'll end the boom. I hope that doesn't happen but it's probably an inevitability given their widespread use.
