Drugs in sport: Are 'superstars' getting off lightly?
Manage episode 445299957 series 3556216
Jannik Sinner is still tennis’ World No. 1 player, having just claimed his 7th title of the year, with an ongoing doping charge hanging over his head.
Even Novak Djokovic is wondering whether it’s one rule for the stars and another for the rest - so is this just a tennis problem or do sports' superstars get special treatment when it comes to a failed drugs test?
The Executive Director of the Professional Tennis Players’ Association, Ahmad Nassar, joins Gabby & Mark to discuss the Sinner case and double-standards for lower ranked players on the tour.
Later, Edmund Willison, investigative journalist and author of the newsletter Honest Sport, explores how 'broken' anti-doping is in other sports; Paul Pogba's reduced ban and scepticism over Ruth Chepngetich's marathon world record.
