The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) is identified as a private organization that derives authority from international treaties and government funding. The hosts argue that the crackdown on athletes is a precursor to mandatory "doping" tests in the general workplace. The goal is theorized to be the elimination of illegal drugs in favor of corporate pharmaceutical products.

An examination of USADA's leadership reveals deep ties to major pharmaceutical companies like GlaxoSmithKline and Baxter International. CEO Travis Tygart's compensation and the agency's research grants are scrutinized. The hosts conclude that USADA functions more as a pharmaceutical research and lobbying arm than a simple sports regulator.
