Logline: After being targeted for organ harvesting by an unscrupulous billionaire, a squeaky clean athlete tries to self-pollute his way to freedom.

I need to show various extreme ways that the billionaire is trying to biohack his way to eternal life so I am gathering true stories and anecdotes. The more dubious but true the better.

Related: when I worked for a company that had a major biopharmaceutical company as a client, some international sports entities were trying to pressure them to put testable markers in one of their products that boosts red blood cell production. The drug had become popular in endurance sports and was undetectable in their blood tests. So, due to this off label illegal use, they wanted the pharma company to add junk to it. The company flatly declined to do so. The legit use of the drug most frequently involves people who are immune compromised and/or have liver impairments so the drug was designed to avoid any further stress on the patients' filtering systems.
