I LOVE your stance on doping. I agree! If you get caught, you're done. Period. No coming back EVER.

Cheaters never win and never will, EVER! Bigger consequences need to be in place. Love the videos, keep it up.

I raced bikes at high levels, including in Europe in the Early 90's. This was at the start of the EPO boom. I never took drugs, tho I had opportunities. I would rather lose every race clean, than win one race dirty.

I think dopers probably largely lack the mental attitude of champions. With the right training and attitude the body can still improve. It's like how you you can still get as good as altitude trainers if you never train at altitude. Dedicated training yields results. If a clean bison can get silver in a world championship 800m then surely a clean athlete with the "ideal" body type could train to match the elite performance. If you want to eliminate doping, train harder than the dopers.

Well said!
On a side note, what do you know about beta-alanine usage? I have read that it is very effective but also legal.
Can't wait for some new vlogs nick!

You know, I'm not quite sure how you were able to get through this segment without getting tilted or triggered as most would call it. You sir have great composure lol.

dopers really do ruin athletics, every time i see a great performance i can never truly appreciate it 100% because part of me is always wondering if it was clean.
question: Nick is this you truly done with track do you really feel you will never be back? I only say this because I bet you get the itch to see how you can compete in the vet categories (maybe world record). would be really interesting to see what you could do as the years roll by

So are we to believe that you ran 142 clean? I thought you were going to be honest. Just avoid like all the other athletes. And if you are a bio chemist, you should know how to create a designer substance. Its not that hard. See Sport Illus. 1997
