Radio documentary tonight: drugs in cycling

Rather sad that in a year of massive success for cycling in the UK that the BBC is airing a two hour documentary on drugs in cycling.  But, it could be read as a sign of increased interest from the media in the sport.
Either way, it should make for fascinating listening.


BBC Radio 5 live Sport will look at the Lance Armstrong saga in a special programme on Monday at 19:00 BST. "Peddlers: Cycling's Dirty Truth" 

Mark Chapman presents a special programme focusing on drugs in cycling through the Lance Armstrong era.
Hear from one of Armstrong's former team mates, Tyler Hamilton, as well as interviews with Dick Pound, the former head of WADA and Emma O'Reilly, Armstrong's former masseuse. Plus British cyclist David Millar who was banned for two years after admitting taking performance enhancing drugs and Christophe Basson, a French cyclist who was driven out of the sport by Armstrong and other riders after he spoke out against drugs.
