I appreciate this won’t be to everyone’s taste but I’d recommend this podcast series for anyone interested in sports integrity esp around issues of doping. Tucker is a real authority on this, and my main reason for listening, but he also covers so much else, such as the Caster Semenya case, and the ongoing trans debates in sport, both of which get a mention here in the opening segment.
Mostly this one is about the recent TdF time trial, though the fact it was only recorded the day after, when the full 7 minute gap outcome from that stage had become apparent, robs the discussion of added context it probably needs.
For anyone tl;dl he frustratingly but understandably concludes that at this point we don’t really know of what any “alternative explanations” might be, though does rattle off a few possibilities in the last 3 or 4 mins.
