Crossfit could effectively end any and all serious doping suspicions if they would be fully transparent make all of their testing protocols and results fully public and online. If you are indeed testing and everyone is clean then there is no reason why you would not want to make that known in the most public way possible.
I don't think CrossFit is letting anyone slide with PEDs but they might do some more testing but that's a money issue. Who's going to pay for the testing? Lower the price purse for the athletes? Spend less on viewing experience? Testing isn't free. I certainly don't condone PEDs but as I said someone got to pay for the testing and CrossFit is a business.
@@EchoCharlie1361 if you want to be taken seriousely as a sport, you have to be professional and this includes testing. if there is an money issue for that, then CrossFit is an amateur sport event.
I love your news Videos! 🐶 I think it's a great shame that the money for the Adaptive division is being cut. The disadvantage is so obvious that it makes me sad; after all, we're living in 2024.
Moving to the UK in January from Australia, looking forward to starting my new wardrobe with a heap of HSTL clothing and podium products, shipping to Australia sux
There should be some kind of CrossFit event at the enhanced games. A benchmark - Linda or so, see if those athletes on steroids could beat Games athletes. 😅 Great video as per usual.
Was just down in Texas this weekend at circuit of the americas. Add the 10lbs of leather and it’s just murderous hot much less just walking around. 118 for Moto America last year.
We have a new venue, more divisions, and more opportunity! Makes sense to cut the prize purse for use adaptive athletes to help grow our division in the long run!
CrossFit could never not drug test. When you see 17 of 40 not make it back to the finals, the temptation would be off the charts to cheat to get back. Especially with prize money like that.
Sorry CrossFit testing is a joke it’s not even Wada. I have done powerlifting and there is random testing at most events I’ve never seen a test at a CrossFit event. Frazier himself talked about the difference in testing on the Rogan podcast
Literally every BTS vid ever made of the last day of a comp shows athletes getting tested after the last event. I wish we could make a list of everything that doesn’t exist or happen just bc you’ve never seen it. Pull your head out of your rear end son.
@@Mr_Bob_Loblaw if you think CrossFit is clean you been smoking with Joe (oh they get tested at the games oh wow we better come off) Frazier said wada testing way in at your dorm at 5 in the morning stand watching you pee, CrossFit we’ll be down to test you in a week 😂
@@Mr_Bob_Loblaw son I’ve done about 20 CrossFit comps since about 2012 including some international ones and a similar number of powerlifting comps including some national championships at every powerlifting champs IPF there’s been random testing I’ve never seen 1 person tested at any CrossFit event ever 🤔 you’ll be telling me Lance Armstrong is clean next 😂
I know they are concerned about the athletes because of the heat here in Texas but….there are hundreds of boxes in the southern states that workout in this heat all the time. I am in Houston and we did a run C&J workout that took about 15 min in 94 degree heat. If you are a pro athlete….get over it or don’t compete. Don’t be a wuss.
People really need to calm down about the Texas heat. It’s really not that big of a deal, people been competing in Texas for many years. Makes CFers look soft.
Very true, by and large, if you are not a top athlete going back at least a few years, crossfit testing is a joke, and completely controlled in terms of what results and outcomes are disclosed. Love cf but if they were serious about it, get usada on board and do it right, not saying they don't have any issues but by and large it is the most thorough and ethical oversight body that we have access to at this time. Just FYI, as someone who works out and competes with regional/semifinals athletes, our team has gone three years in a row, zero tests for any member. Now obviously if you qualify for games there is mandatory testing at that point but that's about it
CrossFit athletes get tested, BUT CrossFit has full control of the results. That used to be in the rulebook. This is the equivalent of your buddy grading your test in class... Sorry, but until they pay an organization to take it over, there will be questions. That doesn't fix everything, just look at Lance Armstrong. They knowingly looked the other way for how many years?
The question you raised about how cool would it be to see how much stronger or faster could athletes get with gear.....the answer is not much more if anything because steroids in professional sport are so widely used already the vast majority of them are cycling gear...
Aww Craig I love you, but I’m a bit let down by your stance on PEDs in CrossFit. I thought it would be a bit more neutral ground. Plenty of pro athletes throughout the world test clean for years but are on some kind of cycle/programme. I can’t believe CF is the exception. You’re still a legend though!
I’m not saying they’re all clean by all means but I’m saying I believe from my personal experience of being around many of them and my training in the past and where I think I could get to naturally, I don’t think as many people are on juice as it’s made out to be
@@TeamRICHEY Not juice (anabolic) so much as things that help engine ie EPO type stuff, Beta 2 agonists that improve aerobic capacity and speed recovery to handle insane amounts of training volume
They all fully utilise everything available to them and play a very fine line that they try not to go over it’s the same in every sport CrossFit is no difference
I strongly believe that CrossFit needs to drop its profit motive and become a fully not-for-profit governing body for the sport. The profit seeking nature of the company is part of the reason why it can’t grow any further and people are leaving it altogether. The company has significantly limited its global exposure because of it and I think if they don’t do something about it quickly, it leaves the sport wide open for a legitimate competitor to come around and take their position. People know that CrossFit works, they just don’t like how the company works.
I really like Crossfit, but obviously, almost everyone is juiced in it, and testing without revealing results = no testing. It's private organization with a money interest, so testing and banning doping athletes is against their interest.
Pro athlete here. Craig insinuating CrossFit athletes are clean is either self serving in protecting the sport of which his channel grew to fame,or naive. Every professional crossfitter is on performance enhancers.
Every sport has people abusing steroids, crossfit is no different. Its very naive to think no one has or is using in at the elite level. I personally don't care if they are
Being tested is not the same as being clean. If this was the case, half the Olympic track and field athletes wouldn't be there. There's always doctors/protocols/timing of cycles that are ahead of what they test for ( especially for a testing program that is 2nd rate like Crossfits is compared to WADA Olympic testing) . If anyone truly believes most Crossfit Athletes are at the level they are only on creatine and protein powder = delusional. Its important to remember that having some extra help to compete in a sport doesn't do the work for you, the best in the world are the best because of hardwork and freakish levels of dedication,genetics and the fact that a decent amount are on a program of enhancement takes nothing away from how incredible they are. Im not sure why everyone gets so conflicted by this? It's just taken as part of the game in bodybuilding but in other sports people try and practice cognitive dissonance to deny what they can clearly see with their own eyes.
Come on everyone, he is not being naive, he is being disingenuous. And for him to say - even if he is natty (which I do not believe that he is) to say that he "knows nothing about steroids" is BS. How can someone be in this space and "know nothing" about the topic?
Seriously, just don’t mention doping or comment on others who do. Your position just used to look naive, now it’s pushing into wilfully ignorant. Of course crossfitters are doping… the successful ones anyway. Olympic weightlifters… gear. Runners … gear. Swimmers… gear. Strong men … all the gear. See the pattern?
Come on, the CrossFit athletes being on a tonne of gear should not be controversial nowadays. Yes, there is testing in the sport, but there are always ways to get around testing. They’re all juiced up to the absolute gills and that’s fine.
So why doesnt crossfit release anything about the intricacies of the testing in comparison to other sports? Rogan is right, the athletes look out of this world. The most common comment i get about this is just how roided up most of the field looks
The steroid comment is absolutely hilarious! Every single one of them are on steroids. CrossFit picks and chooses who they want to reveal publicly who tested positive. Every single athlete has the hallmarks of steroid use
Hahahahah this is EPIC!!! Awww brother HUGELY appreciate the love!!! see you soon for our first barbell and swim brodown!!!
Ross and Craig, my two idols. I am fully in support of a collaboration between you two. Take my money.
Hell yea! Ross and Craig collab would be epic! Couple of legends right there.
please make this happen!
That would awesome!!!!
Defo need a collab between you both itd be amazing
You're right but irony not lost saying "ineducated" in that segment. 😅

Would there be any HIPPA violations doing that or other nations health privacy laws violated?
if they are transparent forget about the top 50. They are all on drugs.
I love your news Videos! 🐶

Thank you so much for the super chat! That means a lot ☺️☺️☺️
Craig, been following you since 2017, love everything you do friend. I am planning on getting my very first HSTL made shirt today. 😊
As always love the show. Love ya Legends
Glad you’re back! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
CF having the games during the Olympics, that will boost the viewership
maybe some viewers will get confused and watch CF
Thanks for your hard work and fun video! I appreciate you!
Hoping the core collection has photos of the t-shirts on ladies - I like a classic tee and it’d help with sizing. Enjoyed the vid!
As always you have the best CrossFit news videos! Also Ross is an absolute beast
Appreciate this ☺️☺️
I listened to that episode of JRE and I was like c'mon guys
That's my reaction whenever I fail to avoid a clip of his show.
Moving to the UK in January from Australia, looking forward to starting my new wardrobe with a heap of HSTL clothing and podium products, shipping to Australia sux
That was the media race 😂 the actual heats go today
not me in Louisiana not even being phased by this ft. worth weather for the games 😅😂
Wow i was just in the Yukon, the same time as Ross Edgley and didn't even know about it! Craig has the best news!
Time to work on getting an episode with Ross!!
You got this 👊
Lovvve the news videos! 💪
I want to buy HSTL. Clothes but I can’t 😢
When will you start shipping to Israel??
I really love your Content :)

HSTL !!! CANADA PLEASE!!!! Gime a DM, I'll open a full Canadian division.
Another great video. BTW, I now have six W's in Resurgence. ;-)
Legend!
Danke!
Ah such a legend thank you for this ❤️
Love it all
I’m sure the quality of HSTL merch is better than it used to be. But got some real sh1t quality items from when you started🤣
Did I hear, "ineducated"? 😭
We have a new venue, more divisions, and more opportunity! Makes sense to cut the prize purse for use adaptive athletes to help grow our division in the long run!
Craig, if you haven't, you have to check out the old Saturday Night Live clips of the "all drug Olympics"...
Let USADA test the athletes.
I would like this
CrossFit could never not drug test. When you see 17 of 40 not make it back to the finals, the temptation would be off the charts to cheat to get back. Especially with prize money like that.
Funny that I'm currently going from CrossFit to Hyrox and Whoop to Garmin as I watch this. I'm staying with HSTL Made though!
Yukon river moves fast.
Especially during spring runoff
The best news updates out there! 🎉 Legend! 🎉

Come on Craig. Everyone isn’t Natty, that’s like saying olympians are all natty.
150 kegs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bought the joggers, shorts, and new shirt. USA mens. joggers, love, shirt runs a leeeeetttlle bit too long but joggers, fya
I want a DOUBLE MURPH! remember that ?!
The stats for the athletes not making it back to the crossfit games is wild....
The qualified Crossfit Games athletes should come train in Singapore for 1-2weeks.
Average above 32°C and humidity above 75%
Smith with be with Invictus at the games.
Why don’t they just do independent testing.
News yeeeaah
Let’s goo!
The crossfit games is the enhanced games.

Good video. To be fair, not all testing is created equal nor are the testing bodies. Not throwing shade, just saying…

Haha it’s because today I’m wearing the regular fit one launching tomorrow
Maybe Gerard can finally compete somewhere
Kinda dumb comment from Rohan seeing as he’s interviewed Matt Fraser who has said yes they do test
Aye one of the first 5 to comment!
