Heavy or Not? The Doping Crisis No One Wants to Talk About | OG Swim Guide #90

from Heavy Or Not - The O.G. Swim Guide · host Mark Rauterkus

Doping at 69?! The Ugly Truth About Recreational Sports. Say "No" to Enhanced Athletes and Their Games In Episode 90 of Heavy Or Not, The OG Swim Guide, we peek into two shocking doping cases. One is involving a 69-year-old Masters athlete and the other is with a 41-year-old cyclist busted at a Gran Fondo. No prize money. No fame. Just ego, insecurity, and a culture obsessed with optimization. When does "biohacking" become cheating? Is TRT just wellness… or is it performance enhancement? And what happens to sport when authenticity gets replaced with chemistry? This episode dives deep into the ethics of performance-enhancing drugs, the rise of anti-aging clinics, and why racing with the body you've earned still matters.

You wake up at 4:30 a.m., squeeze in your workout before work… and the guy who beats you brought a pharmacy to the start line. Is that the future of sport? Did you hear of the 69-year-old athlete who just got busted for steroids… and it wasn't for money, fame, or contracts — just ego?
