Description

This week we play out the concluding part of our interview with David Walsh, Chief Sportswriter with the Sunday Times.

In this part, we chat a little more about Lance and a lot about Team Sky. David did a 2013 book called Inside Team Sky and his coverage of the team has been heavily criticised, which David reflects on in this episode. The most high-profile of that criticism came from his friend Paul Kimmage, who said on radio four years ago that their relationship was finished. David discusses where that relationship is now, along with plenty of other topics, including whether soccer and rugby have the same doping problem that seems endemic in cycling and athletics.

We also discuss the third and final of his picks - Paul Kimmage’s Engage.
