Listen "Ep. 102: The Ethics of PEDs, feat. Lachlan Giles"
Episode Synopsis
The juice. The sauce. The bomba. It's prevalent in our sport. But is it true that everyone uses them? And regardless, would that justify using them yourself? This week, we're joined again by Lachlan Giles to discuss the ethics of performance-enhancing drug use in BJJ, and the recent firestorm around his principled comments on Instagram.Research referenced in this episode:https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-24730151https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190125084106.htmIMPORTANT: BJJ Mental Models needs your help.In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the future for Steve and Matt is uncertain.
