Should BPC-157 Get Athletes Banned? CrossFit Games Athlete Popped for Peptide Use

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.
