Ryan Elrod: Everything you Need to Know about this CrossFit Athlete

In June of 2017, Ryan Elrod failed a drug test at the Atlantic Regional competition. After finishing 5th, he would have qualified for the CrossFit Games had he not tested positive for a prescription fertility medication. He was taking the medication in order to help his wife get pregnant, but had not been taking it for many months prior to being tested.

Nevertheless, he received a two year suspension from all official CrossFit competitions. Once his ban ended, he wasted no time in getting registered for the 202 CrossFit Open where he’ll be competing in the Masters 35-39 division.
