Originally I dismissed doping but it makes perfect sense.
He very badly wanted to be nationally recognized (IG, interviews, travelling to east coast indoor meets), had zero oversight in his small town, his dad was very involved. Could be so easy for an adult male to get TRT prescribed by a doctor and hand it off to his son.
Cade was built like a tank as a high school senior and ran like a 46sec 400m. As soon as he gets to college and testing is possible, he sheds 10+ lbs of upper body muscle and reverts to just good-but-not-elite D1 performances.
“He very badly wanted to be nationally recognized (IG, interviews, travelling to east coast indoor meets), had zero oversight in his small town, his dad was very involved. Could be so easy for an adult male to get TRT prescribed by a doctor and hand it off to his son.”
That sounds like absolute bullsh*t to me. You could say the same thing about many other great HS runners.

Look at his quotes and interviews around during his senior year (before he's been routinely humbled for 2 years now). He is uniquely narcissistic and dramatic. Other great high school runners dont shed weight when they get to college and lose 3 seconds off their 400m.

How do you know he lost weight and maybe he’s been hindered by injuries. Can you provide some before and after pics to support weight loss claim? Some people have claimed Nico had put on some weight since HS, but he looks the same to me.
Effectively calling his dad a drug dealer would get you sued in the real world.

I wonder why a 21 year old on low mileage would be hindered by innuries for 1.5 years and still be racing. Too many people have made that excuse for a guy who races all season every season.
I'm not googling pictures for you. Its obvious to any casual observer that he is much thinner, I am hardly the only person who thinks that.
And cut the lawyer sh*t out. I could say I think you kick dogs for fun and do graffiti. Are you going to sue me for saying that?

Not using PEDs would slow him down by that much? For 400/800m, it’s not going to be that big a difference.
You’re comparing dog kicking and graffiti accusations to what you said about his father? I’m pretty sure a reporter would be sued for the latter.

You are saying PEDs aren't that big difference for 400/800 runners?

It’s certainly not going to be 5+ seconds for 800m. Is no longer using steroids the reason he ran 1:55 at Millrose last year?
At shorter distances an incremental improvement is a big deal. For Ben Johnson, cheating seemed to be worth about .3 seconds for 100m, which is the difference between not making an Olympic final and setting a WR.
