How do we stop or curb the use of Performance and Image Enhancing drugs in sport? In the fight to keep sport clean, safe and fair, shutting down illicit drug production and distribution has become a task that requires a multidisciplinary approach. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is pushing national anti-doping agencies and law enforcement to collaborate to prevent and respond to integrity threats in sport. WADA has expanded its Intelligence and Investigations Capability and Capacity Building Project, into Asia and Oceania, following the success of a similar program in Europe. The first of six workshops was held in Australia this month, with representatives from 10 countries in attendance. With the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games touted as the Pacific Games, we speak with Chair of the Oceania Regional Anti-Doping Organization, Dr Lawrence Teariki Puni, along with WADA Investigator, John McLaughlin, about the importance of collaboration in combatting drugs in sport.

Sandy Williams, the beloved guest host of Earl's Favorite, takes to the airwaves for a lively chat about Milwaukee Bucks sensation Bobby Portis, who has just been handed a hefty 25-game suspension. The NBA revealed that Portis tested positive for Tramadol, a painkiller that the league has banned, aligning with the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of prohibited substances. The conversation shifts to the weighty issue of Ukraine and its impact on American taxpayers. Earl and Sandy delve into the powers of the U.S. president, reflecting on how FDR's time in office led to the establishment of an eight-year term limit, curbing both presidential authority and duration. They discuss President Trump's aggressive stance towards Ukraine, suggesting he is pressuring the nation to relinquish its rights and potentially face conflict over territorial integrity. Despite the former president's previous support for Ukraine's resistance against Russia, the current narrative seems to echo Russian propaganda, with Trump allegedly demanding a significant portion of Ukraine's resources in a coercive maneuver.

Från 2017. Finland tar guld under skid-VM 2001 på hemmaplan. En läkarväska med kanyler och blod hittas på en bensinstation och ett hemligt avtal skrivs i en bastu. Nya avsnitt från P3 Dokumentär hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Skid-VM i Lahtis, en finsk folkfest med skyhöga förväntningar på hemmanationen, börjar plötsligt kantas av mystiska omständigheter. En finsk åkare som nyss tävlat blir hastigt sjuk, en stav bryts av utom räckhåll för tv-kamerorna och i bastun skrivs ett hemligt kontrakt för att försöka komma undan ansvar.Tio år senare är lagets största stjärna död.Med hjälp av landslagets läkare injiceras åkarna med preparat som ska dölja alla spår av dopning, och se till att de får komma till start i loppen. En efter en avslöjas åkarna i det finska landslaget, inför sin egen hemmapublik. Men det dröjer ytterligare tio år innan hela sanningen om händelserna i Lahtis kommer fram.I P3 Dokumentär hör du skidåkaren Per Elofsson som tävlade sida vid sida med de dopade åkarna. SVT:s Jacob Hård som från kommentatorsbåset anade att någonting inte stämde. Maud Bernhagen från TV4 Sporten som intervjuade de dopade skidstjärnorna innan lögnerna avslöjades. Men också Harri Syväsalmi, generalsekreterare på World Anti-Doping Agency, som genom att lura det finska laget lyckades avslöja dopningen.En dokumentär av: Hugo RennéusProducent: Magnus ArvidsonDokumentären är en repris från 2017

The doping controversy over world no. 1 Jannik Sinner has divided the tennis world. In March 2024, Sinner tested positive for clostebol, a banned anabolic steroid. As per the rules of the International Tennis Integrity Agency and the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC), this would result in an automatic provisional suspension pending an appeal. Sinner, however, appealed the provisional suspension, and an independent hearing convened by the ITIA found that he bore “no fault or negligence” for the positive tests. Subsequently, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appealed this ruling. WADA's appeal was supposed to have come up for hearing at the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) on April 16-17, 2025. But now the WADA appeal will not be heard because Sinner and WADA have reached a case resolution agreement. Under this settlement, instead of the one to two-year ban that WADA had wanted, Sinner will serve out a three-month ban, from February 9 to May 4. This means he will not miss any Grand Slams, despite committing a doping offence that, in the case of other players, has caused them to serve out a ban of one to several years. Is tennis's anti-doping process “broken” as the likes of Stan Wawrinka and Nick Kyrgios have said? Are there double standards in this process - with top players benefiting while the lower ranked players don't get the same treatment or benefit of doubt? How transparent is a process where a player can negotiate a “settlement” for a doping offence? Guest: N Sudarshan from The Hindu's Sports Bureau. Host: G. Sampath, Social Affairs Editor, The Hindu. Edited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian.

A blockbuster week on the ATP and WTA Tours concludes with the tennis world still reeling from World No. 1 Jannik Sinner's three-month ban from the World Anti-Doping Agency. Joel, Kim, and Chris break down the latest developments, the timing of the announcement, and the potential ramifications for the sport.On the court, Amanda Anisimova claimed the biggest title of her career at the W1000 event in Dubai, while teenage sensation Joao Fonseca continued his meteoric rise by capturing the title in Buenos Aires. The team also explores why Jelena Ostapenko remains Iga Swiatek's kryptonite, the ongoing drama surrounding Elena Rybakina and her suspended coach Stefano Vukov, and the swift return of Novak Djokovic to the tour in Doha—where he's set to play both singles and doubles alongside a retiring Fernando Verdasco (who, admittedly, we didn't realize hadn't retired yet!).Plus, the US Open shakes up the mixed doubles event with a drastic overhaul that has divided the tennis community, and Joel's game returns with a Canada-themed edition.SOCIALSFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus email the show tennisweeklypod@gmail.com.MERCHPurchase Tennis Weekly Merch through our Etsy store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!REVIEWS***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

A former New Zealand tennis professional can't believe world number one Jannik Sinner was able to negotiate the length of his drugs ban. The World Anti-Doping Agency shortened a potential two-year ban to just three months following Sinner's positive tests last year. Lee Radovanovich joined Elliott Smith to express his disappointment.

Tennis star Janik Sinner has accepted an immediate three-month suspension for his 2024 clostebol positives. In this emergency Spotlight, Gareth and Ross discuss the agreement between Sinner and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and explain why both parties would have been incentivized to reach a settlement rather than go to arbitration at CAS in mid-April. We offer insights and early thoughts on whether, as claimed by Nick Kyrgios, this is "a bad day for tennis", or whether a three-month ban is justified and appropriate, giving the accepted facts of the case and what could be proven in previous tribunals.Join DiscourseFor more conversation and insight, join our Discourse community where fellow listeners, experts and enthusiasts offer thoughts and opinions on this issue, and many more sports science topics.

We take a moment to discuss some of the most vulnerable Senators ahead of the midterm elections.    Reviewing the impact of Senators who just left office  Speaking of Senators, one of those who just retired from the Senate is Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia. He was always seen as a more conservative Democrat, all the way until he left the Party and became an independent in 2024. Inside Sources hosts Rusty Cannon and Adam Gardiner share some thoughts on the bipartisan legacy from Senator Manchin.    Immigration bill passes key procedural vote with bipartisan Congressional support  Many Democrats in the US Senate have joined their Republican colleagues, voting to advance a bill dealing with immigration called the Laken Riley Act. Even prominent Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin voted for cloture on the bill. Some Democrats are hoping to make amendments to the bill, however. Rusty and Adam describe what’s in the bill and why some Democrats support it.    Conflict between US and World Anti-Doping Agency grows  New developments today... in the funding dispute between the United States and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

Sports Law: Legal Principles in Professional and Amateur Athletics Chapter 1: Introduction to Sports Law Purpose: This chapter provides an overview of the field of sports law, introducing readers to its key concepts and the legal issues that permeate the sports industry. Key Topics: Definition and Scope of Sports Law: Sports law is a unique blend of multiple areas of law—contract law, labor law, antitrust law, intellectual property law, and tort law—all applied within the context of the sports industry. It covers legal matters that arise in both professional and amateur sports, including issues related to governance, contracts, competition, player conduct, and commercialization. This multidisciplinary field serves athletes, teams, leagues, sports organizations, and regulatory bodies, addressing everything from player contracts to antitrust concerns and intellectual property rights. Distinction Between Professional and Amateur Sports Law: While professional sports law typically revolves around commercial and employment issues like contracts, compensation, and league governance, amateur sports law often focuses on eligibility, athlete rights, and regulatory compliance, especially in collegiate sports. Professional athletes negotiate contracts with teams and sponsors, whereas amateur athletes—particularly in the U.S. under NCAA rules—have historically been restricted by rules around compensation and endorsements, although recent changes in NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) rights have begun to shift that landscape. Historical Development of Sports Law: The legal regulation of sports has evolved significantly. Historically, the law treated sports as a private matter governed by internal rules. Over time, as sports grew into a major economic and social institution, external legal frameworks were developed to address issues like antitrust concerns, labor disputes, and intellectual property protection. Milestones like the establishment of the reserve clause in baseball, the formation of player unions, and landmark antitrust cases such as Flood v. Kuhn have shaped modern sports law. Key Legal Frameworks Governing Sports (Domestic and International): Sports are governed by a variety of legal frameworks that vary based on jurisdiction and the nature of the sport. Domestically, key frameworks include contract law, labor law (especially through the National Labor Relations Act), and antitrust laws like the Sherman Act. Internationally, sports are subject to regulations from bodies like the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Various national and international regulatory bodies such as FIFA for soccer and the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) provide oversight and resolve disputes in the international arena. Role of Courts, Arbitrators, and Regulatory Bodies in Sports Law: Courts, arbitrators, and regulatory bodies play crucial roles in resolving disputes in sports law. Courts interpret laws and contracts, resolve labor disputes, and address antitrust concerns, while arbitration is often used to settle disputes efficiently, particularly within leagues and between players and teams. Specialized bodies like CAS are essential in handling disputes at the international level, particularly in matters related to doping, athlete eligibility, and contract disputes. Summary: This chapter introduces the diverse legal challenges inherent in the sports industry, emphasizing the field's multifaceted nature. It explains how sports law intersects with other areas of law and sets the stage for deeper exploration of specific issues, from contracts to antitrust law and doping regulations. Through understanding the historical development and the legal frameworks at play, readers will grasp how the sports industry navigates complex legal landscapes. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

In this episode, Kylee and Zoë explore the complicated history that humans have with alcohol and athletics. We dive into the deep past (shoutout to our simian ancestors!) and see why scientists think humans developed a taste for something that seems counterproductive to passing on our genes (looking at you, Smirnoff blue raspberry). We try to parse out why alcohol is so closely tied to endurance sports and take a deep dive into what the research says about this substance (spoiler alert: three shots of whiskey do NOT make you better at running on a treadmill.)

Hosts: Adam Gardiner & Rusty Cannon A last-minute addition to the contract with the IOC for the 2034 Salt Lake City Olympics says that the U.S. must recognize the authority of the World Anti-Doping Agency over doping investigations. It stems from a U.S. investigation into Chinese swimmers in 2020. Failure to do this could result in the 2034 Olympics being withdrawn from Utah and sent somewhere else. The KSL at Night hosts share how the agreement is angering federal lawmakers.

Hosts: Adam Gardiner & Rusty Cannon Jenkins’ petition over CD-2 GOP primary results rejected by Utah Supreme Court The Utah Supreme Court rejected the petition from CD-2 GOP challenger Colby Jenkins, just a day after the campaign filed it. The focus of the petition is on ballots that weren’t counted because they were postmarked late. The Jenkins team has already refiled the motion. KSL at Night hosts Adam Gardiner and Rusty Cannon discuss this lawsuit, the recount, and all things relating to this race.   What’s going on with the presidential races right now? Each day brings updates and news for the Harris, Trump, and Kennedy campaigns. We take a moment to update listeners on where things stand now, focusing on campaigning and debating.

Winter Olympic 2034 Awarded to Salt Lake City Utah. Salt Lake City-Utah will host the XXVII Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2034 . This decision was taken by the IOC Members today during the 142nd IOC Session Paris. The Salt Lake City-Utah 2034 delegation was led by the Governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, the Mayor of Salt Lake City, Erin Mendenhall, the President of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC), Gene Sykes, and the President of the Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games, Fraser Bullock. IOC President Thomas Bach said: “Salt Lake City and Utah are long-time friends of the Olympic Movement, and we are confident that they will organise exceptional Olympic and Paralympic Games, just as they did years ago. The legacy of 2002 is tangibly and passionately alive in Utah. The legacy of 2034 starts today.” Governor Cox said: “The Olympics and Paralympics represent so much more than competition. At its core, the Olympic Movement is about building community and celebrating excellence, things we do really well in Utah. More than 80 per cent of Utahns and 100 per cent of our elected leaders supported our Olympic bid. We're ready to host another Olympic Winter Games, and we can't wait to welcome the world back to Utah in 2034.” There was a final report by Karl Stoss, IOC Member and Chair of the Future Host Commission for the Olympic Winter Games, the IOC body responsible for monitoring and analysing interest in hosting the Olympic Winter Games and Winter Youth Olympic Games. “Olympic Winter Games in Utah represent a fantastic opportunity,” he said. “This very strong project benefits from an exceptionally high level of public and political support. The athletes will benefit from great facilities and opportunities this project has to offer.” Salt Lake City-Utah 2034 has the ambition to extend the transformative benefits of Salt Lake City 2002 to a new generation and make the resources and experience of Utah available for the benefit of the Olympic and Paralympic Movement. It is fully aligned with Olympic Agenda 2020 and 2020+5, as well as regional socio-economic development plans, especially around creating long-term benefits for the region and potentially the country, for example by expanding existing sports and social programmes for young people and athletes. The Games will be hosted in world class, 100 per cent existing or temporary venues, and will assist efforts to drive sustainable change in Utah. “During our visit, the Commission was able to see first-hand these excellent venues and to witness the immense experience and expertise that exists,” explained Mr Stoss. “Enthusiasm for the Games was palpable in every interaction we had, both at the venues and in meetings with athletes, sports leaders, politicians and the private sector.” Erin Mendenhall, the Mayor of Salt Lake City, said: “Salt Lake City and the Olympic and Paralympic Movement are deeply connected through values - our commitment to diversity, love for our youth and the tireless work to preserve our environment. These principles are shared through the lens of sport. I can't imagine a better partnership than the one we continue to forge with our Olympic partners.” “This a great day for winter sport in the United States and around the world,” said USOPC President Gene Sykes. “The Games vision brought forth by the Salt Lake City-Utah team – inclusive of state and city leaders, the remarkable bid team and the community that showed support for this effort throughout – has been collaborative and forward-looking from the very start. We are thankful to the IOC and to Karl Stoss who led the Future Host Commission, and we look forward to the process of organising what we know will be terrific Games in 2034.” Fraser Bullock, President and CEO of the Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games, said: “Today's decision by the International Olympic Committee is as much about the Olympic and Paralympic Movement as it is about Salt Lake City-Utah. We are proud to show the world how our living legacy brings value to our communities, enriches the lives of youth, and helps contribute to the world of sport.” Before the vote, IOC Members were able to put questions to Mr Stoss and to the Salt Lake City-Utah 2034 leadership. Serious concerns were expressed about recent developments in the United States around the challenge to the supreme authority of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which could have negative implications for international sports events held in the USA. In their presentations, Salt Lake City-Utah 2034 and the USOPC confirmed that they are fully committed to compliance with the World Anti-Doping Code, and that their dedication to clean sport and to the coordinated international anti-doping effort led by WADA is absolute. IOC Member John Coates, Chair of the IOC's Legal Affairs Commission, confirmed that the Olympic Host Contract will be strengthened in relation to WADA and the World Anti-Doping Code. The IOC has reinforced the current language in order to protect the integrity of the international anti-doping system and to allow the IOC to terminate the Olympic Host Contract in cases where “the supreme authority of the World Anti-Doping Agency in the fight against doping is not fully respected or if the application of the World Anti-Doping Code is hindered or undermined”. This measure has been fully supported by the State of Utah and the USOPC. There were 83 ‘yes' votes for Salt Lake City-Utah 2034 by IOC Members, 6 ‘no' votes and 6 abstentions, out of 89 valid votes.

Athletes have lost faith in the World Anti-Doping Agency, also known as Wada. That's what we heard from Michael Phelps, the U.S. Olympian with the most medals in history. Phelps made the statement during Congressional testimony he gave in June referring to drug tests given in the leadup to the 2021 games in Tokyo which found that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned substance. Eleven of those swimmers will be competing this summer in Paris. Is there any way to restore faith that the Paris Olympics will be fair, or is the taking of banned substances simply the new normal? USA TODAY Sports Columnist Christine Brennan joins The Excerpt to discuss how officials are handling the issue and what to expect next.Episode Transcript available hereAlso available at art19.com/shows/5-ThingsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

An independent investigation has cleared the world anti-doping agency of any wrong-doing in its handling of allegations of widespread doping in the Chinese swimming team. Twenty-three Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned substance in the lead-up to the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021, Dana Johannsen speaks to Susana Lei'ataua.

Proper recovery and performance enhancement have always been top priorities for athletes. But what happens when new trends promise to deliver these benefits with the allure of convenience? Is it worth the investment, or even safe? Today, we delve into the growing trend that is IV hydration and explore whether it truly lives up to the hype.   What is IV Hydration? In simple terms, IV hydration involves bags of hydration, vitamins, amino acids, or a mix thereof being administered directly into your bloodstream through a cannula. Originally, this practice was strictly for medical use in hospitals to treat severe dehydration and nutrient deficiencies or deliver medication when oral intake wasn't possible. Now, companies offering IV hydration have extended these services to healthy individuals for various perceived benefits, such as rapid rehydration, improved skin health, and curing hangovers. For athletes, especially triathletes, they're even promising quick recovery and performance enhancement post-race.   Reality Check:That all sounds great, but can IV hydration actually deliver on these promises? The short answer for healthy athletes is no. Your hydration needs are unique and vary based on multiple factors, including genetics, environmental conditions, and fitness levels. Oral hydration is a far safer and more efficient way of meeting these needs than opting for a quick fix like IV hydration, so if you can drink your liquids, you should. If an athlete is extremely dehydrated or unable to orally consume fluids, IV hydration can be beneficial, but this should be done at a medical station after being assessed by a medical professional.   The Risks: Any procedure involving a needle carries risk, and IV hydration is no exception. Infection risks, vein inflammation, and even complications like blood clots can occur. Proper hygiene and a qualified professional administering the infusion can lower but not eliminate these risks. Additionally, there is the risk of overloading your body with fluids, which, without proper medical supervision, can lead to severe complications like hyponatremia – a life-threatening condition caused by low sodium levels in the blood. For competitive athletes, there are even risks that go beyond your health. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibits intravenous infusions of more than 50 mL per six-hour period, both in and out of competition. Athletes found violating these regulations could face severe consequences, including bans.   Is It Worth the Cost? The financial aspect of IV hydration is another important point to consider. Costs can range from 200 to 300 dollars, or even higher if you add vitamins and amino acids. Considering the risks involved and that there are no performance benefits compared to just drinking, IV Hydration just isn't worth it. Investing your money in long-term hydration strategies tailored to your needs is far more beneficial.    The bottom line when it comes to hydration and recovery is if you can drink, do so. If you can't then you don't need IV hydration therapy, you need to go to the medical tent and get help from healthcare professionals! For reoccurring hydration issues, work with a professional to address the root cause and develop long-term strategies tailored to your individual needs.   LINKS: Check how well you're doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist   Start working on your nutrition now with my Triathlon Nutrition Kickstart course: dietitianapproved.com/kickstart It's for you if you're a triathlete and you feel like you've got your training under control and you're ready to layer in your nutrition.

An investigation has found that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned substance before the 2021 Olympics — but were still cleared to compete by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
