MTR Paris Olympics. Tomas Rodriguez. Sex Testing at the Olympics.
Description
We review the racing from the MTR at the Paris Olympics and discuss Hayden Wilde’s crash, Taylor Knibb’s result, plus are we seeing a shift away from ‘Gold Meaning Everything?’.
Tomas Rodriguez made a name for himself by beating IRONMAN World Champion Patrick Lange at IRONMAN Texas last April. Since then, he’s been hit with an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for the banned substance Clomiphene. Tomas has released a statement blaming contaminated food. Could he be telling the truth?
In sport the ability to assess who is eligible for a male or female category is fundamental to making that category work. We discuss sex testing at the Olympics and share a segment from Ross Tucker’s podcast ‘The Science of Sport’ explaining why he thinks the IOC are confused.
