Fantastic article! I’m torn on whether to watch that spectacle. When it comes to amazing performances, my gut always says if it seems too good to be true, whether in track, cycling, or any sport, it probably is...
Great historical examples! Doping is a complex topic (I’ve got my own article in the works), and this has helpful and interesting context. Suffice it to say, I will NOT be watching the ridiculous Enhanced Games
After reading your article, I’m working on my own Monkey Gland concoction. It’ll be perfected by the next time you’re in Boston. We’ll down a couple and see if it gives old guys like us any extra juice on the wiffle ball field… hoping my arm doesn’t detach like Phil Hartman’s!
Great article, Josh. And I love that your former teammate finally got his gold!
Timely stuff.. I hope the IOC is on the ball, and maintains zero tolerance for doping

Thanks Artie. Hard pass for me as well.

Once again, great research and story telling with lots of stuff I, as an Olympics afficianado, did not know.
You entertain us and you inspire me. Keep it up!
Time to connect as suggested months ago.

'thin slices of chimpanzee or baboon testicles' - put me right off lunch.
You could, instead of lunch, treat yourself to a salmon sperm facial ;)
