The High Performance Podcast
When Sport Crosses the Line (ft. James Witts, Author of DOPE)

This is a great reminder to everyone that even if you decide that actually the shortcut is the thing that you want to take, there may well be other victims along the way.

This is what Michael Johnson told us when he decided to give back one of his medals.

And I think that's really interesting, isn't it?

The High Performance Podcast
When Sport Crosses the Line (ft. James Witts, Author of DOPE)

Because the athlete in question...

The High Performance Podcast
When Sport Crosses the Line (ft. James Witts, Author of DOPE)

thought that he was doing this almost in a silo.

He was deciding that he was going to dope for his own success in his competition.

And as Michael Johnson reveals there, when you're in a relay, it's a team sport.

And the devastation that that created, actually, in America, for both Michael, but also for the athlete who doped, I mean, it was really, really, really dark.

Okay.

This is the interesting thing.

I think in the enhanced games, they're not cheating, are they?

The High Performance Podcast
When Sport Crosses the Line (ft. James Witts, Author of DOPE)

No.

The High Performance Podcast

They're cheating in the Olympics or they're cheating in the Commonwealth Games.

The High Performance Podcast
When Sport Crosses the Line (ft. James Witts, Author of DOPE)

But for the enhanced games, I think it's, personally, I think it's fascinating that,

The High Performance Podcast

that we're in an era now where athletes are saying, I'm going to do everything I can to be as fast, as strong, as powerful, as quick, as explosive as is humanly possible.

I do not want to see those people going up against Keely Hodgkinson, right, in the Olympics.

The High Performance Podcast

but I will be seeing what the human body can achieve with additional help, right?

The High Performance Podcast
When Sport Crosses the Line (ft. James Witts, Author of DOPE)

Yeah, definitely.
