Two from the Granite Games.
The latest was an athlete who tested positive for DHEA.
$15 from Amazon.
I take a whole list of OTC supplements. Chances are one of them is banned and I don’t even know it.

Cross Fit gonna Cross Fit
Hey at least they are going with WADA guidelines for the testing. Also, if WADA guidelines are actually what they will be following for the future for testing, you just might see a change in body composition throughout the "sport".

Maybe, but all of these people that compete on these teams I wouldn't really classify as "professional athletes." I would guess every single one of them (maybe there are one or two that don't for whatever reason) have real jobs and this is a hobby they're really good at.
This last person got popped for a $10 supplement that anyone can buy and could have been in a pre-workout or something else. None of the real pros are going to be popped for that because they'll have better resources to make sure everything they take is clean.
Im not saying a lot of them aren't juicing because they very well may be, but if they are its going to be a lot more sophisticated than how these people have been.

I’m so out of the loop on supplements, I had to look up what DHEA was. Obviously I’m in super shape and on top of my game Lol.
Don’t follow the cross fit games really, but is it kinda assumed like the sport of cycling that everyone is getting a little “help”?

Not an expert on this but I think most of the top people (who qualify for national competitions) do consider themselves professional athletes and make most of of their income from sponsorship and crossfit-related work. If they have real jobs its owning a gym or training, but physique/athletics-related.
And if they do follow WADA guidelines, I expect more will start testing positive, and disproportionally Americans, simply because other countries won't test as much/will cover up test, i.e. Jamaica and their sprinters.

You're wrong about this, especially on the team side. But even if they are a gym owner, for example, they still aren't going to be able to spend the time or money to make sure they aren't going to pop from some pre-workout that contains one of thousands of wada banned substances that are completely legal for non wada athletes.

Coming from a former track guy who never good enough to compete nationally/internationally, but still keep up...there is a huge infrastructure around education for nutrition/diet for top international athletes for this very reason (and now in the major professional sports leagues too).
If you are a swimmer/runner/olympic weightlifter/etc. with a chance to make the Olympics you don't want to be banned over a random supplement. Yet, it still happens.

Will take your word for it on the competitors, and agree with you on the supplements. But its a trade-off, using WADA standards ideally gives the sport some legitimacy that its a drug-free event and everyone is on a level playing field. Apparently this is worth it to the organizers of these events.

Run by the US Olympic Committee, CrossFit doesn't do anything for their athletes. Not that it's necessarily a good or bad thing, or they should, but these people can't send a list of what they're taking to crossfit and have someone who specializes in wada have them look at it.

I don't disagree with you here, I'm just pointing out that the former DII football player turned sales rep and high level crossfiter is doing all this shite on their own while being subject to super high level testing. They aren't blood doping like a Tour de France athlete no matter what they're popped for.
