Podcast appearances and mentions of nikki dryden

We get it, these are tricky conversations. But they are also some of the most important conversations to be having. So when we had incredible human rights lawyer, Nikki Dryden, in the house, we decided it was the best opportunity for us to have an educated, informed discussion on the topic.   And because we're working Mums who are trying to juggle all things life, you'll also get to hear Libby's 1 year old Alfie slowly destroying the studio while we have this chat. We apologise AND we also feel strongly that working Mums need to be part of these conversations.  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the first time we've had an Olympic medal winner at Banter and that was swimmer Allison Wagner who won a silver medal for the United States at the Atlanta 1996 games behind Irish swimmer Michelle Smith. Allison and former Canadian Olympic swimmer Nikki Dryden joined us for a dive into the deep, murkier end of the swimming pool with a look at the current state of the anti-doping movement as we asked why more attention is not being paid to systematic doping schemes in sport.
