Summary
Please Note: We had some audio issues with our microphones this time around so the backup audio was used. We apologise to your ears upfront but it's not really that bad though is it. This episode is sponsored by Official Beer Co. Produced by Podfire Lockie and Lleyton are back diving straight into one of the most controversial topics in triathlon right now — the release of Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) data and what it means for fairness in the sport. They break down how TUEs work, where the line between medical necessity and performance enhancement gets blurred, and debate whether athletes and federations should be publicly named for transparency. Alongside the heavy discussion, the boys recap a massive weekend of racing including T100 on the Gold Coast, Geelong’s unofficial world champs, and standout performances from athletes like John Reed and Hugo Milner. They explore how short course dominance is reshaping middle-distance racing and why run times are reaching another level. As always, there’s plenty of honest takes, a bit of goss, and some strong opinions on where the sport is heading — and what needs to change.
