Is elite sport still being devalued by the dopers?

0:00

Stephen Sackur speaks to Irish sports journalist David Walsh, who
was convinced that cycling’s untouchable champion Lance Armstrong
was a drugs cheat long before the sport revealed the scale of his
deceit. Armstrong is history now, but doping continues to devalue
elite sport - maybe it is a problem no amount of truth telling
journalism can fix. It is the job of the journalist to speak
truth to power, but can defying conventional wisdom and the
powers that be often mean the profession can be a lonely place?
