So on the one hand, he is a complete cheater, but on the other, he really did try to take advantage of every single technology, system, exercise, etc. to make himself better. Maybe they need two classes - clean and juiced. Let guys like him go nuts with every drug, tech, etc. to see just how far they can push it.

it's tempting and funny ha-ha in the SNL skit sort of way. but the problem is this use kills you. enlarges your heart, increases your odds of dying young, there's a long list of prominent athletes who's death could be attributed to peds. I'm sure your mostly tongue in cheek
but lets consider the one sport where it's mostly OK, physic shows. even the drug-free shows are filled w/ people who just juice less or haven't juiced in about a year.
if society enforced this in any way, the lower income and younger players would absolutly abuse this into the grave. most wont be Stalone w/ the best docs checking you out on a regular basis, and cheap/fake/poison versions of the popular drug will become rampant, or more so than know
Ken Cameneti was a baseball player for the astroes, died early and his PED use is considered largely to blame. in one interview, he addressed his PED use and said he could follow the rules and lose his job to some young kid. or he could juice and keep his job, a job that was his life. this kind of 'role model' probably increased ped use in highschool by a crazy amount.

i remember a jre where a bicycle guy either said he did EPO or knew ppl, the whole team was on it, and they all travel around in a van or bus with their bikes(cuz they're gonna race) and they're so jacked up on EPO and all that oxygen/redblood cells that in the middle of the night they have to wake up and just bike for a few hours to burn off it off or they explode.

Pretty sure I posted about this earlier in the thread, but that dude is my math teacher from high school. Best teacher I ever had, by a long ways.
I didn't even know that Barao was in the UFC anymoreit'd be awesome if they backtracked TJ's tests all the way to when he beat barao, cuz barao has been on a downhill emo decline, ever since, nearly back to back losses, 4 losses in a row and can't even make weight

yea sounds like your math teacher is complicit in TJ's EPO usage, i mean TJ moved to work with you math teacher and they train in his garage. EPO isn't just a pill you pop and you get good, TJ was probably trying to fool the biological passport and doing a few weeks of awesome training, and then weening down. like in this
How I became a drug cheat
it's basically what the guy from icarus wanted to do, b4 the whole russian doping thing fell in his lap.
decent EPO primer here
Looks like USADA is just so amazeballs with testing now, that you can't fool the biological passport no more.

He was a former power lifter, so I am sure he has been knowledgeable about this stuff for years. I still really liked him as a teacher though. Then again, this was nearly 25 years ago, so who knows how much he has changed since then.

In a way I just don't care if you want to kill yourself for money, fame, and my entertainment. It's a choice.

did you read this letter in his voice then? it sounds like a tub of bullshit
he has a channel and a bunch of other guys training with him, so test them for EPO, if they pop, he's dirty
also, is it me and all white ppl look the same or does he look like crazy raver guy?
heck, maybe it's him, and ppl are going to go WHOA

Here's an article on him and his teaching style from about 10 years ago. The man I remember genuinely cared about his students and helping them learn, and he did it in a different way than any teacher I ever had. I have no idea if he has gone crazy or what though.
Proof of Anaheim math teacher's skill is in students' test scores

Disney sees ESPN+ reaching up to 12 million subscribers by 2024
Operating losses for ESPN+ are expected to be $650 million annually in both fiscal 2019 and 2020, Disney’s chief financial officer, Christine McCarthy, said during an investor day webcast presentation. But the service, which launched one year ago, should reach profitability by 2023, she said.

Not a chance. While a section of fans sit on their PC and have no problem subscribing, there is still only 1 major brand of television with the software/package capability to actually be able to subscribe with a television.
No
fucking
chance
That's what you got, no chance.
The accessibility simply isn't there.

they have already hinted at a Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu bundle
could be $15 a month with ad supported Hulu, or $20 with ad free. maybe cheaper
would certainly bump the subs up.
market estimates think Disney+ will have 5 mill sub in 1st year, 50mil in 5 years
they are certainly pushing ESPN+/UFC on the main channel, watched PTI and couple of other shows earlier this week
and there was a bumper or full ad at every break.
