Rachel Tomajczyk- Doping in Trail, GTWS, and Wombats- Ep. 25

Rachel Tomajczyk sits down for this episode of Chasin' Trail to discuss doping in trail running. More specifically, the doping controls at the Golden Trail World Series races, and how it impacts runners of her caliber when it comes to fairness and accessibility. With the recent doping scandal at Sierre- Zinal, which we covered on previous videos, it has come to our attention that this is truly becoming a problem in our sport. The increased amount of money has brought the cheaters out of the woodwork, and we will likely see more and more as the purses get bigger. So, what can be done about this? Tune in to find out what Teddy and Rachel think. We also discuss Wombats, Batman, and marsupials. It's a fun episode, but it is also slightly thought provoking... but only slightly, this is Teddy Tonelli, after all.
