Our first two parter explores performance enhancing drugs in sports and fitness.
Jason is joined by Rod once again to ask;What are steroids?Are their ever any benefits to using drugs?How common is the use of performance enhancing drugs in sport?We talk about the fascinating documentaries Icarus & Bigger, Stronger, Faster, both of which delve into steroids and PEDs revealing a world most of us never knew existed.Icarus filmmaker Bryan Fogel sets out to uncover the truth about doping in sports, a chance meeting with a Russian scientist transforms his story from a personal experiment into a geopolitical thriller. Dirty urine, unexplained death and Olympic gold are all part of the exposure of the biggest scandal in sports history.Bigger, Stronger, Faster presents the pervasive use of steroids in sports as an indication of the American obsession with winning at all costs. The Bell brothers have been sucked into the world of performance-enhancing drugs, thinking this is their ticket to realizing the American dream. Interviews with politicians, doctors, bodybuilders and coaches raise the question: Do the ends really justify the means? Because in the mad dash to win, an entire culture may be poised to lose.Get in touch with us via Instagram; @JustTheFitnessTip, @JasonProUnicyclist, @Rod_PennJust the Fitness Tip, Edinburgh's no.1 fitness podcast.
