Marchand has broken world records. He&#8217;s pushed his limits. He&#8217;s reached, and taken the sport, to new heights. And&#8230;he&#8217;s done it all without the use of PEDs and within the current suit guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Through his short comment, he has also demonstrated the leadership role he is willing to take
