In This Episode

In a sport where doping was known to be virtually ubiquitous, why was Lance Armstrong singled out for the most intense and costly doping investigation in cycling history, and then given the harshest punishment possible?

International anti-doping policy expert, Professor Paul Dimeo, and I discuss the circumstances surrounding the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency’s “reasoned decision” to punish Lance Armstrong with a lifetime ban from competition, and strip him of his seven Tour de France medals.

We also examine the inconsistencies and ambiguities in World Anti-Doping Policy, and its devastating effects on the athletes it polices.
