That's like me comparing myself to Mariusz Pudzianowski. It doesn't diminish his accomplishments as I could juice like him and never make it to that level. But to claim Crossfit is a clean sport is ludicrous.

I've wondered about that. A couple of the top finishers at the Crossfit Games work out at my gym. I'd be very surprised to learn that they were juicing, but I guess I really have no idea.
