You know, that's one of the big concerns, but they're trying to mitigate that by having a lot of interactions with doctors.

Like you have a very tailored regimen, you have constant checkups, your heartbeat gets monitored, you had like a comprehensive health analysis complete with DEXA scans and all this stuff up front.

And I think that's kind of the place where, uh, you know, is that going to be accessible to normal people?

Like when they, they sell that stuff to the masses, I don't know.

It's like very expensive.

It takes health insurance.

Like, you know, um, and that these athletes are going to be under a constant safety monitoring like that.

Um, it, it,

makes me feel a little bit better about, like, that no one's going to, like, you know, pass out in the pool during these games.

But, you know, we'll see.

It's a very real risk, though.

Yeah, yeah, you know, that's one component of it.

WADA like their definition too is also intentionally like mushy there's a lot of mushiness in this world from both sides because I think no one wants to take full responsibility for the lives of these athletes which is basically impossible to say this is doping this is not doping caffeine being a perfect example exactly yeah it's like what it's like

everything is harmful on some level and everything is also safe kind of on some level.

So it's like, you know, it's, it's, it's kind of an impossible thing to, to police.

Uh, the enforcement of it is just like, it makes life miserable if you're a professional athlete.

Um,

getting woken up at like you know one example we had was christmas eve uh at megan her mom's house she went home for christmas here's a knock on the door and there's strangers there to collect her pee and blood to make sure she hasn't been doping and her mom was just like is this like a regular occurrence she's like yeah they could show up at any time you know and that's that's like no way to live like

Yeah, you know, this is a talk I've had a lot with my producer Sam on the show too.

It's like, I don't know, are they doing something like Noble?
