Dave and Tamler try to artificially bulk up their expertise on the ethics of performance enhancing drugs and end up raising a lot more questions than they answer.\xa0 Why do we condemn certain methods for boosting performance on the playing field and praise others?\xa0 Why is it OK to train at high altitudes but not in hyperbaric chambers that simulate high altitudes?\xa0 Why is Lance Armstrong a villain and Graham Greene (who wrote many of his most famous novels on benzedrine) a hero? \xa0 Is there genetic therapy to cure haunted child haircuts, and if there is, how can Tamler get access to it? \xa0Of course, no discussion on PEDs would be complete without clips from South Park and Sanford and Son. \xa0Also, David misremembers Lyle Alzado as a regular on an 80's sitcom because of a single appearance on "Small Wonder." \xa0We probably should have taken some podcast enhancing drugs for this one. \xa0
