RTS Pro Panel: The Collin Chartier Doping Saga

Today we sit down and speak with Dr. Aaron Casp about FAI. FAI seems to be all the rage these days in elite and amateur athletes. But what is FAI and how do we treat it?   Dr. Casp is a sports medicine specialist, with advanced training in the treatment of knee, shoulder, and hip injuries. His primary focus is working with active patients of all ages to help get them back to doing what they love. He completed his sports medicine fellowship at the world-renowned Steadman Clinic and Steadman Philippon Research Institute in Vail, Colorado. During this fellowship, he treated elite athletes from the high school level to the NFL, NHL, NBA, and MLS. He traveled to Austria to provide medical coverage to the U.S Ski Team athletes, and was also responsible for the care of athletes from all over the world at the FIS Snowboard and Freeski World Championships in Aspen, CO.   Check out the Real Triathlon Squad online store here for all the best products we use or the RTS Club Store for RTS branded clothing!   If you want to go above and beyond consider supporting us over on Patreon by clicking here!   Follow us on Instagram at @realtrisquad for updates on new episodes.    Individual Instagram handles: Garrick Loewen - @loeweng Nicholas Chase - @race_chase Jackson Laundry - @jacksonlaundrytri
