Fitter Radio: Triathlon, Endurance, Nutrition

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.  (0:00:00) – Water quality in the Seine (0:03:22) – We review the MTR at the Olympics (0:19:22) – The sanctioning of Thomas Rodriguez (0:36.10) – Sex testing at the Olympics (0:38:18) – Professor Ross Tucker Science of Sport podcast
