I listened and once Stank took that take on things I just deleted the episode off my phone. I get that Daniel wants the show to be "edgy" but when a chubby lobster-claw semi-pro weedhead comes on and starts talking about performance enhancing drugs.....yeah I'm good. Next.
Would love to see Stank say that to Kenny's face. Roczen could stomp a deutsche mark in Stank's ass

Stank isn't my cup of tea, but my point is, it doesn't make him ignorant or wrong.
Working in the industry with well connected people, you quickly start to hear alot of rumors and eye witnesses accounts of shady shit. So as a rider, who's race for so long, I know he's not off base assuming a high caliber rider has taken something. Again, I am not saying Kenny has been on or is doing anything.
There's no smoking gun from the outside. But if there a gun to the head of most industry insiders, they'd all admit to knowing a rider or two who had taken something. I know of one elite rider who was SERIOUSLY considering it, because his competition was on it, but being the outstanding man he is, he chose against.
I have been DEEP in this industry since I was a young kid. I am 29 now. The current and last years 450SX champs have been friends of mine since we were kids. I have friends in the highest places in the sport, from agents, to managers to hall of fame riders and we've spent late nights under the influence of a variety of things that let the truth slip out. I know every STD that's been contracted, wife/girlfriend that's been passed around and other dirty secrets in the sport. PED's just aren't in the conversations. IV's between moto's? Yep. Injections to get around injuries that might be questionable? Yep. Off season supplements while building for the upcoming season? Yep. But full on, PED doping programs? Not these days.
I currently work hands on with Aldon and his riders with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and other recovery products. Our doctor is 3rd party and is hands on with the riders and involved in their test results. It's amazing how much people overthink a program like Aldon's. It's structure, consistency and accountability that achieve the results.
Gared couldn't fathom the discipline it takes to compete at that level. Even if he was JUICED to the GILLS, his results would be the exact same because he doesn't do the work. All he cares about is pleasure...no suffering or sacrifice. If he were in the real world, he would be lucky to maintain a position as a warehouse box boy.
In an office/work environment, when the guy who stays late, goes above and beyond for the company gets promoted, the haters with no discipline point their fingers and say he's a kiss ass. Can't fathom the sacrifice and discipline it took to get there.
It's way easier to point fingers while you get lapped a couple times or watch from the sidelines rather than hold yourself accountable.
-JGR is using a big bore
-Ken Roczen is doping
-EBV is because of doping
-Aldon’s riders are cheating
Also he says you’re not allowed to bring your own booze to Red Bud, which is false. You can camp and have your own booze all you want, you’re just not allowed to bring it into the track area/infield where they are selling their own beer. Just like a lot of other tracks.
