Summary
Pro Triathlete, Collin Chartier, admits he used EPO and we use that as a launch point for how a lot of us get trapped in the game of chasing no matter the consequences. We are all human, so it's a mystery why things like this surprise us. It's going on at the age group level as well, but the point is, the only person we can really count on is ourself. It's so easy to get caught in the hypnosis of television, social media, YouTube videos, but most of it is fake. Today, we take a deep look inside and put stock in what we can do without chasing others. And stop judging by the headline.
Topics:
- Pro Triathlete Collin Chartier admits EPO use
