So many PEDs. It's laughable how ESPN shows this shit.
dude sad thing is it's already more mainstream then bodybuilding, they already have major sponsors like Reebok and it's nationally televised on ESPN. I mean the games are hosted at the Staple Center in LA, compared to the Olympia at the Orleans arena. Prize money is on point as well.
"The 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games will have a $2.2 million prize purse—a $200,000 increase over 2015. Reebok, the title sponsor, has committed to increasing the CrossFit Games prize purse by $200,000 each year until it reaches $3,000,000 in 2020."
The Fittest Man and Fittest Woman on Earth will each receive $275,000.
