In this episode, the guys break down the latest controversy shaking up the CrossFit space: a Games athlete is out after testing positive for BPC-157. But should this peptide even be banned? From supplement protocols to fairness vs. safety, Jason, Gabe, and MDV cover all sides of the debate—and share why this story is bigger than just one athlete.

They also talk about testing standards, the difference between elite and general population use, and why some athletes might make more on YouTube than in competition. Plus, Diesel Jason makes an appearance, there’s a friendly push-up throwdown in Cabo, and yes—Jason is still training hard in sandals.
