“TRIGGER WARNING” This is a deep conversation - if you need mental health support please seek help

Distance runner and former Featured Performer guest of The Physical Performance Show Zane Robertson has been banned from all sport for 8 years following a positive test for Erythropoietin (EPO) and providing false documentation in his defence.

Zane was tested at the UK’s Great Manchester Run in May 2022. His sample returned a positive result for EPO, which was later confirmed through B-sample testing. An additional charge of Tampering with Doping Control was added when documents submitted by Mr Robertson in his defence were found to be fraudulent.

Show host @brad_beer sat down to learn more about the situation.

In early 2022 Sam finished a very credible 8th place at the Ironman World Championships held in St. George. By year's end, Sam came out and did what many thought was almost impossible, he took it to the Norwegian train of Kristian Blummenfelt current Olympic Triathlon Champion and Gustav Iden, both dominant Norwegian triathletes in the long course space, Sam picked up a silver medal at the Kona 2022 Ironman World Triathlon championships, and along the way obliterated the bike course record.

It was a stunning performance, one that I rate as one of the greatest I've seen in my 30 years in endurance sport.
