Copy of “The Deceptive Allure of Performance Enhancement Drugs”

What drives an athlete to cheat—ignorance, pressure, or a broken system?

In this eye-opening episode, we confront one of the darkest consequences of failed coaching: the rise of Performance Enhancement Drug (PED) use among athletes.

Based on “The Deceptive Allure of Performance Enhancement Drugs,” we explore how PEDs aren’t always about greed or vanity—they’re often the final resort for athletes who were never properly taught how to succeed in the first place.

🚨 When teaching fails, athletes seek shortcuts.🎭 When coaching becomes performance over process, deceit replaces discipline.🧪 PED use, in many cases, is not just cheating—it’s a cry for help.

This episode reveals how PEDs signal a breakdown in the theory → consumption → application chain of learning. We argue that coaches who mask their own deficiencies by emphasizing wins over understanding create the very conditions where artificial enhancement seems necessary.

It’s time to fix the system—not just punish the symptoms.
