*Trigger warning* Some of the themes explored
within our interview with Lizzy Banks contains mention of suicide
and suicidal thoughts

Today on The Sports Agents, what's it really like for athletes
living under the cloud of a failed drugs test?

Lizzy Banks, the UK cyclist who has spoken out
against Anti-Doping authorities following her 10-month battle to
clear her name - which ultimately cost her, her sporting career
and almost her life.

Lizzy sheds light on the mind-blowing level of commitment it
takes to be a 'clean athlete' and why WADA's rules are no longer
fit for purpose.

Plus, Gabby & Mark pay homage to some monster times from
British middle-distance runners in the run up to the Paris
Olympics as Josh Kerr and Keely
Hodgkinson impressed in Oregon over the weekend.
