Don’t test positive for banned substances

Every year the conversation around use of performance-enhancing drugs at the CrossFit Games
seems to grow louder and louder. Allegations are bountiful, but specifics are scarce. The only
specifics we learn are from those who test positive for banned substances. The vast majority of
these athletes claim ignorance as the reason for their positive test result.
