CrossFit athletes and doping
Posted on 8/7/17 at 11:24 am

I'd like to hear people's take on how much they think these athletes are using "PED's". And when I say doping I mainly mean roids and other substances that are banned by other organizations such as the Olympics, USAW, NFL, etc.
I'm sure their nutrition and supplementation is off the charts, but when there's competition there's cheating.
Actually does CrossFit even drug test??
I'm sure they don't dope nearly as much as the bodybuilding world, it's obvious in the women athletes. They're jacked up but still feminine in the sense that they don't have the deep voices and manly features most women bodybuilders do (mainly in the face).
Toomey, the girl who just won this year's games is an Olympic weight lifter so I know she probably gets tested. Fraser, the men's 2 time champ was also an Olympic lifter so he may be clean also.
What's the boards take?

Probably, but who cares?

Those are just genetics with those tree trunk legs
Fraser talks about doping in the Bodybuilding.com series he did leading up to the games. His take is pretty good on it.

Me. I'm interested, which is why I made a thread about it.

she got the wrong end of the deal in the looks department, but she at least still sounds like a woman. Posted on 8/7/17 at 12:15 pm to rintintin

i was kidding. mainly when she won some event and came on in the interview like "f*** yeah!" she said and looked a little mannish there.
i think most of them are fairly feminine. i had a in law of an in law that made it big in the body building world and before i cut off following her on instagram, i saw a lot of women that decided they were done with femininity. 90% of the crossfit chicks don't apply to that.

Think I seen on one of the previews online that some people had had been kicked out because of failed tests.

Did he say he did it or not..........I think Fraser probably does blood doping

I'm a former track athlete and still a really big track and field fan who also readily admits track's big PED problem and how it has hurt the sport a lot among casual fans.
That said, even more than track the CrossFit Games are almost the perfect competition that rewards the benefits PEDs/doping can give to Elite athletes. I'm definitely not talking about your average joe who does CrossFit primarily as a fitness activity, but I'm definitely talking about the elite competitors.

He said he didn't but thinks some people are
He said its probably the people who have never been to the games or the ones trying to make it the first time.
He didn't name any names
Posted on 8/7/17 at 1:44 pm to StraightCashHomey21
Oh....I think I did see that.
I think Fraser is doping but that's just my personal opinion.

I don't think he is.
His background helps him excel at this. That being said if he doesn't breakdown physically something might be up.
Olympic lifters who do it that long as a sport tend to get beat up.

Ditto, and same with Toomey. She can't, she'd get popped by the Olympics I would think.
It's just insane to me to think these guys are in that kind of ridiculous shape all natural (relatively speaking).

Yeah.
The ability for their body's to recover so quickly is when I get suspicious

I am basing this on what I know of the tennis world. It is not possible to recover and go the next day like the people do.
The doping is honestly most present during their training regiments, not the competition days

I listened to this interview when it came out and thought it was interesting. LINK
He's got some good points but I think it's a select few who probably do it. I can tell you it's not as easy as taking test and doing crossfit though. The guys that are saucing are taking certain concoctions for recovery.

You think Djokovic dopes? I think he started at his rise and has stopped...perhaps due to failed test and warning (that's not been released). His rise and fall happened way too fast.

I wanted to believe that Fraser didn't but then he beat all of the sprinters after getting crushed in a sprinting workout the year before. That combined with his compete body change is just fishy as hell.

If you watch his training videos he put a ton of track work in the last year
