There are crazy cash rewards for top placings at the Crossfit games, there's no out of competition testing of the athletes and Crossfit HQ isn't even willing to admit that off season testing is necessary to prevent doping. I reckon the games have a higher percentage of dopers than the Tour even.
 
Quote (more or less) from the 3 x repeat male champ.

"I don't even think they (steroids) would help."

This is a guy who coaches American football, so of course he couldn't fathom the benefits of steroids.
